I went into Macy's on 11/26/17 in search of a few men's dress shirts. I was asked by 3 different pushy employees to take my measurements, each of whom I told I already knew them. No big deal, but I felt a bit hassled by the third request.
I picked out a few different shirts - all the same size - and walked to the dressing room to try one on and make sure it fit. I was asked again by another employee to take my measurements, and once again I declined.
My wife walked into the dressing room with me while I tried on the shirt so that she could give her opinion. We assumed this was no big deal and we do this at many stores and the booths within the dressing room all have doors for privacy. Within about 30 seconds, a female employee stormed into the dressing room and demanded to know if there was a woman present. My wife spoke up and said yes, and the employee proceeded to lecture us about how men are entitled to the same privacy that women are entitled to, and my wife should know better and must wait outside. Berated and belittled, she walked out, and the employee continued her lecture, saying that if they had been allowed to take my measurements then I wouldn't have needed to try the shirts on and make them redo all of the pins. Are you kidding me? A polite, "Please wait outside, it's store policy," would have sufficed.
The employee then returned to the dressing room and cleaned out the booth next to me. So, apparently, I am not entitled to the privacy she considered to be so important.
Needless to say, I took off the shirt I had tried on, set it down, and walked out with my embarrassed and unhappy wife, and made my way to Men's Wearhouse, where I promptly spent several hundred dollars on clothes which I had intended to spend at Macy's. I don't think I'll ever return. Certainly not to this location, anyways.
