If I could give this sad store 0 starts I would without hesitation.
So first time I went there, I drove 40 minutes with my friend to look for a formal dress. We walked in and we were told to leave the store. Me and my friend are both 18 (LEGAL ADULTS) and apparently you need a parent there to help you? That is beyond me. You need to be at least 21 years of age to just LOOK at the dresses?! That is ridiculous. If I was an independent adult of 20 years of age, with dead parents I would not be allowed to shop there. What in tarnation? First Impression: Confused, Angry. Did not plan on ever going back there...
Fast forward a few months later, I'm frantically looking for prom dresses that is a month away. After arguing with her, my mom convinced me to go Jacqueline. We drove 40 minutes yet again to try and find a prom dress. We walk in and immediately see a customer fighting with the manager. The argument was about how her daughter's dress was not altered yet after waiting three weeks. She said she didn't receive a call or anything regarding the inconvenience. Apparently they only have ONE seamstress working for the entire store, and she was sick and that's why her daughter's dress wasn't altered. I felt so bad, she said her daughter's prom was a week away. She was furious. And I would be too. Luckily she got her money back and is going somewhere else to fix it. While my mom and I are waiting to be helped, I read a sign that basically said you are not allowed to look at dresses yourself. Not even browse. Fine, whatever, it is what it is, me and my mom wait for 20 minutes... JUST TO BE HELPED. The manager barely acknowledged us! After complaining, an employee comes over and tells us that we can just go look for now until she's done helping another customer. I vigorously looked for 20 minutes and found about 5 stresses I wanted to try on. We waited for someone to come by and help us, no help came. Another new costumer comes in as we are waiting, she looks around for a couple minutes and then the manager helps her personally! I went up to her and told her we were here first and that we have been waiting and she didn't even look at me and she's like "give me a minute." I was outraged. I was loudly complaining and then I just grabbed the dresses off the racks (which we were scolded for doing) and I went into the dressing room myself and my mom helped me with the zipping. After waiting about an hour, being ignored, we tried on a few dresses and left, without any employees saying a word to us. The employee who said would help us, never even acknowledged us. Apparently it was "really busy" the day I went (as said by the workers) but there was legit 4 customers in the store, including myself. But I still don't understand, the employees don't even do anything, they just zip you up and tell you how it looks on you (which anyone can do). It's not like they can't help two costumers at once. I had a horrible experience. The manager was a carless, irresponsible, woman. I think her name was Kathy or something. I'm just astonished at this store. After so many bad reviews you would think they try to make an improvement, but they don't. And I'll be honest, I'm not the type to complain, I'm really not. But this was ridiculous. I was in awe. Jacqueline brags about the prestiged customer service, but they don't know a thing about customer service. Dresses were okay though. Overall, this was the worst store I've ever been to. WORST customer service. Horrible workers. I'm very disappointed.
