“Men's suit department has no salespeople”

written by Camilla1980 on 18/01/2015

I went to the Tupelo, Mississippi store January 15, 2015, with a friend who was looking for a new suit. We could not find a single person in the men's department to help him find a suit. I finally went to the customer service counter and told them there were no salespeople around. They said they would call a manager. A lady came out of the back and told us there was no one scheduled to work in the men's suit department that day. But she would send someone over to help us. A 20 year old girl came over. I asked her if she knew anything about men's suits, and she said no. I told my friend that we were going to Reed's, a locally owned store, because they had people that could help fit him. On the way out two white male employees were talking to a black lady employee who was pretty mad. She threw her glasses on the floor. One man was trying to soothe her.
We went to Reed's, and a salesman greeted us immediately. We told him what we wanted. He found the right fit jacket and pants, a blazer and slacks, and two shirts. He marked the pants to be hemmed, took the labels off the jackets, and took the stitches out of the pockets and pleats of the jackets. Don't bother looking at Belk's unless you want to help yourself. And there is never anyone around to check people out in the ladies department either. I have to go to three or four checkout counters to find someone. I have wondered how fast someone would show up if I just walked out with the stuff.
