Wish I could give zero stars. I loved coming here to look around and see what else I can add to my kitchen. I've purchased several items throughout the years online and at various WS stores but this is the one I just can't step foot in anymore.
I went in to buy a le creuset 1.5qt braiser back in July and I had to almost chase down a salesperson. Meanwhile, other guests are the ones being chased down to be helped. Once I got the saleswoman attention she seemed "surprised" I was making a purchase. I was in a hurry and already there, so I decided to let her attitude slide.
But here is where it really went downhill. About a month ago, I went in looking to upgrade my Breville to a Jura, not a simple decision!
We went in and stood around the coffee machine area waiting to be helped for about 5 mins, just talking about the different specs of the machine. When we were finally asked if we needed help, I said yes and stated we were deciding between the Jura Z10 and S8 soon and asked for a demo. The lady rudely told us that if we wanted to try free samples we could just head into the middle of the store. I was confused bc I clearly mentioned I we were looking into purchasing a Jura soon and restated that we don't want free samples, we just want to try the Jura Z10 or S8 since the Z10 makes cold brew and the S8 doesn't. If swayed, I was ready to purchase a machine then and there.
The rude lady said she'd go get someone to assist us and instead brought someone to make things worse!
The next lady she brought over smugly asked how she could help, we told her again (3rd time stating what we're there for), and she doubled down that if we wanted free water, lemonade, or samples, we could head to the middle of the store. She also added that these machines are "complicated" and can't be used just like that and left us there hanging.
??? Complicated??? They're literally superautomatics!! With the press of a button, you have coffee in less than a minute! I understand not knowing the product or whatever, but bringing over the coffee machine salesperson to tell me to go get water or a lemonade instead or showing me the jura?? Clearly discrimination as we are people of color.
I have seen multiple salespeople demoing the Juras many times, somehow when I want a demo they are "complicated" and I should go try water or whatever free samples they have at the moment?
I ended up contacting Jura directly and they answered my questions and I purchased directly from them (a Z10 btw!). Even when picking up orders, the nasty attitudes are incredibly off putting. I really tried to ignore the fact that when I went in there some type of people got great service meanwhile I didn't, but at this point we'll just avoid this location for good.
