My review is on the Women's Shoe Department only.
Blame it on my double X chromosomes or my being Asian but I have a thing for designer shoes and Saks is among the few stores I check out when I'm on the market for a new pair. However, I will never again shop at this Saks location because, besides having a limited selection, the service in the Women's Shoe department is horrible. Actually, the worse I've ever experienced. I've been going to this location at least twice every quarter for the past 2 years and on each visit, like clockwork, the level of service in the Women's Department is either non-existent or leaves me feeling like they're doing me a favor.
On my last visit, because I bought 2 of the same pair but in different sizes, I had to return a pair of shoes. It was around 7 PM and not busy but, for some reason, every single Women's Shoe salesperson was inside the alcove housing their cash registers. So I approached one of the alcoves and saw a woman counting something. This woman is Caucasian with long, curly dyed hair who looks to be in her 40's. I politely asked her for help with the return to which she nodded her head. I then took a few steps out of the alcove and stood next to my husband where we stood, without help or notice from her again, for over 3 minutes. I don't know what and how much she was counting but we shouldn't have been waiting, especially for that long.
But sadly, this is the type and level of service at this department. In the end, another salesperson helped us. But had I come in dressed to the nines and approached them like a snobby b*tch, I wonder if I would've been treated better. Probably because they seem to "measure" their clientele's spending ability but I'm spending my money elsewhere.
