    I can feel the pressure and competition. I have a friend who used to work at Chanel in Bloomingdales. She just couldn’t take the competition and quit her job within a year. One time she held one item for me but turned around that item was sold by her coworker. She was so upset and I could feel the her frustration working at that environment. I am glad you are out of this type the work environment. Totally agree with you GOD knows which place is good for you. Thank you so much for sharing darling ❤️

    I love Survivor! I’m glad that you survived your tribal council and went on to better things. The serial returners of the luxury community need to realize how they can affect their SA. I really understand that you can have buyer’s remorse, but when you’re buying something that costs thousands of dollars worth of items and return them shortly after buying them, it’s not fair to the SA. When I worked at Macy’s years ago, we would have been fired if we rang something under someone’s number, but most of us tried anyway when possible. Most of us...

    • @dialmstyle

    I worked as a Recruiter and unless you understand exactly what kind of people you are working with, it's a difficult job. Sales is a fast paced job and as my Father told my sister's and I, you can work with Hitler as long as you understand who you are working with and you go to work to do a job not to make friends. If you make a friend that's wonderful but not a requirement. He also said if you have 5 people you consider true friends you are a lucky person.

    THIS is why I do not work for anyone else. C, my mouth just will not let me. I would take & take until I popped off bc I have never been afraid enough not to. Not that I don't have respect but I demand it as well. To the point I would come down hard on those that refuse to give it. Even if I had to suffer for it. And it is so hard to work for those that are less qualified. I'm so glad God put you where you need to b & is watching over you & your daughter. I don't shop in store bc of these reasons it's ppl's attitudes their money makes them think they have a right to or positions that I cannot stand & I'd hate to get banned from purchasing LV all together. I would love to b able to build a relationship & have an SA & get the perks of such a friendship & help a friend out but I don't live close enough to a store to do that or want to travel to do that & deal with the drama. I can pay online with my CC & get cash back & ordered a BB Alma @ 10 pm & got it @ 10 am the next day w/o the danger of leaving the store with it in a big city with a big LV box & bag. I do wonder if the bags are pulled from stores or a warehouse in KY when you online order though bc the bags come unstuffed & naked w/ a dust bag & the strap tucked inside unwrapped?

    I don't think a sales associate could or should tell a customer to come back later for you, Michelle, to do an exchange. Instead what could and should happen is give you (the sales associate who sold the $5,000 bag) her commission. It's not a true return. Exchanging a color is not really a new sale and it's LV's policy that is wrong. They should correct their unfair, miser store policy. Considering their huge profit margin, they might consider rewarding the 2nd sales associate with a small percentage on top of your commission (which you keep) for making the exchange of a new color while his colleague had to take a legally required lunch break and to get a 2nd wind to be able to complete your shift. That's why in the 21st century lunches and breaks are required by law.
