I recently reached out to the Pottery Barn online chat with some questions, but unfortunately, I didn’t get the clarity I needed. So, I called my local Pottery Barn store hoping someone could assist me further.
The woman who answered told me the issue was out of her control, which I understood. But when I asked a few follow-up questions to see if there was any possible resolution, her tone completely shifted. I could hear the aggravation in her voice—she sounded annoyed just for having to speak with me.
She put me on hold to ask the manager, then came back and quickly said, “Yeah, I’m sorry, there’s nothing I can do,” and immediately tried to rush me off the phone. I didn’t even get to finish my sentence before she hung up. It was incredibly rude and unprofessional.
This kind of behavior is disgusting, and no customer deserves to be treated like they’re a bother for simply asking for help. I wouldn’t wish that kind of treatment on anyone—not even their own families. It’s disappointing and heartbreaking to see how far customer service has fallen at a brand I used to admire.
