Urban Behavior

The lines here are ridic! I am a patient polite person but I wasted 15 minutes standing in line, put my socks down and decided to come back because the line hadn’t budged… Two hours later I get back in line to buy some socks and waste another 15 minutes. Ended up with nothing, could they invest in more cashiers please? You lose customers this way… and you don’t want to see me ANGRY!
Also, please put your dressing room mirrors on the inside of the door so we don’t all have to shamefully give a peepshow to all the guys and gals waiting out front who don’t want to be forced to see our giggly bits!

Very disappointed with the staff unwilling to rectify error made by their employees. I know it was a long day but if I was told that an item’s additional discount is off the lowest price & repeated the question at the cash register & got a yes but bill showed off the original price & staff refused to fix right away & told to come back the next day. I will not be recommending this store to friends & family as I am very dissatisfied with the service.

In the good old days, this would’ve been a 4: decent fashion, decent quality but great prices for one-​time wear lol. The days of clubbing, wanting to wear something new each outing, and not worrying about washing it afterwards over spilled drinks, lipstick and B.O., but I digress, that’s a lot of information there…
And it still has all those qualities, so at this stage of my life, or at today, it was just a stroll through memory lane.
All jeans were $ 30…
For the ladies, buy 1 pair, get 1 for just $ 10!
And 15 years ago, things haven’t changed; men’s section just an afterthought in the back right lol.
AMEX surprisingly ok here.
Ground floor, beside Rogers.

Horrible clothing.
Horrible customer service.
Horrible dressing rooms.
The only reason I was in here was to return a few things that my friend had bought.
I know that they do not give refunds, so I looked around to see if there was anything I could use– there was nothing.
The clothing is soooooo cheaply made.
Not to mention tacky. If you do happen to find something to try on… The change rooms do not have mirrors inside ! Wtf is up with that?
The girl who did the return was such a bitch to me– even though I had the receipt and the tags were attached. This really was not cool, as I was nothing but polite.
I would hope that perhaps a sales supervisor will see this, and review how to treat customers with the staff.
I won’t be back here. There is no reason.

Always knew about this store –it’s a favourite among teenagers– but didn’t start taking interest into it until recently.
It’s absolutely great during the fall season. If you want a cute knit sweater for just $ 10, this is the place to go. I can’t say I would go here during the summer though, I feel like the clothes would be too trashy and revealing for me.
The staff is friendly and greet you when you come through the door.
Great place if you’re looking for a cheap price and decent clothes.

Same shitty clothes as Urban Behavior, same low prices, but wow, they actually have people with brains working here!
Never had to wait in line for the change room, they always have enough cashiers on, the layout seems a lot more organized and clean, and just a better vibe overall. I’m not here much, but when I need a $ 5 tank top I know where to come. Oh and yah, they’ve got $ 30 slutty platform shoes here too. Score.

I’m one of those guilty ones who buys trashy cheap clothes once in a while from here all under $ 20 mainly for theme nights and costume parties. If you’re looking for disposable items to throw away. this place is it. When I am traveling I need some throw away clothes. The thing that sucks is waiting in line for the change room. The bargain is worth the wait, however, I suggest to bringing a book to keep your sanity in check. I have one of those odd body shapes so only a third of what I try on actually looks good and fits properly. I know this going in so prepare my heartache for such. I have come out with gems that have lasted 3 months. Staff is horrible and act as though they want to slit their wrists.

Normally, I wouldn’t be caught dead shopping in this store. The likes of Urban Behavior, Sirens, Stitches, and the like are things I left in the dust after probably the ninth grade. However, I recently scored a super cute cardigan not unlike the uberexpensive ones at Aritzia for a mere fifteen dollars at Sirens, so I was open to revisiting my long, forgotten past in the hopes that there would be a gem or two hiding in plain sight.
Wrong. That cardigan was a fluke, and my luck just ran out.
Never have I seen such a vast emporium of the cheapest and tackiest clothes ever made. With such an enormous space, couldn’t they have put something a little better in here? Can Urban Behavior and TNA trade spots? That would be Carolyn’s playground.
All in all, this store is one big headache. Stepping over the threshold is like falling through the looking glass, back about seven or odd years when shopping here was actually cool. Sometimes I can’t believe I used to wear the things I did. Nine times out of ten, the store is a complete disaster, with items flung all over the place. The space is just too large, with too much stuff in it, and it isn’t being maintained. The staff are quite often unhelpful and sour faced. If you do manage to find a goodie in this sea of duds, beware as there are no mirrors in the changerooms. I’ve been told that this concept has something to do with loss prevention, but any and EVERY store needs to scrap it. I like to try on clothes in privacy, and the last thing I need is a sales associate talking to me as I examine myself in the mirror, trying to convince me that the horrendous shirt I’m temporarily donning looks good.
The tuneless cacophony of techno trash blaring over the speakers sends me scurrying away from this mountain of shoddily made apparel like the dickens. If this is ‘urban behavior’, I’ll stick to suburban life.

I needed some bright neon tights for a Halloween costume and I walked this place and it looked like the 80’s threw-​up… I knew I had found my solution.
On the bright side? I paid $ 1 for neon tights
On the down side? I waited for 18 minutes in line to pay, with approximately 20 other people. The teenagers running this store have ZERO clue about customer service. There were at least 7 other employees working hard at stocking shelves and cleaning up. Come on! Put someone else on cash, obviously 1 staff member isn’t enough!

I typically like this store for cheap seasonal items for my work wardrobe but based on my recent experience it may be awhile before I return.
They are offering a 50% off all items so I collected 2 arm fulls of loot to try on in the change room which is conveniently located at the back of the store. When I get there with about $ 400 worth of merchandise, ALL of which I was prepared to purchase I was shocked to see the change rooms were «closed for this event.» I’m a reasonable person so instead of freaking out I asked if the items were returnable and the girl didn’t know so she flagged down the rudest Manager I have ever had the displeasure of meeting who firmly told me know. When I questioned her as to why customers are being forced to purchase merchandise they cannot return she shrugged and mumbled something about the store closing or something whilst rudely glaring at me. She may no attempt to offer a resolution or alternate option, simply stood there glaring at me with hundreds of dollars of merchandise in my hands. I dropped all the items in a pile on the closest shelf in front of her and she then gave me a look as if to indicate she was about to chase me out of the store!
Perhaps they should consider changing the name of the store to Bad Behavior?

Leggings for $ 7!!!
Yeah, everything is cheaply made, but anything I’ve ever bought from here has lasted me much longer than expected. I once bought a pair of jeans here for $ 10 and they hung in there for two whole seasons. Pretty good if you ask me.
Basically, if you buy something from here it will be cheap and by the time it falls apart it will be out of style anyways.

I’ve never been to Urban Behavior before. I’ve never been to Metrotown Mall before. To be sure, Friday evening, when UB is having their Friends & Family Event (where the ENTIRE STORE is 50% off) was not the best idea I have ever had.
Never the less, as a seasoned sample sale shopper, I can say it wasn’t *that* scary. It was complete pandemonium, but I am positive that was because of the sale.
Despite a slightly stressed demeanor, the staff was very friendly and helpful. The merchandise was spread EVERYWHERE (again sale specific), but they were doing their best to keep it in line and help people find sizes.
No, it isn’t high quality, durable stuff. It is the Canadian equivalent to Rave, Alley Kat, Wet Seal, Papaya or any other cheap, young, trendy store in malls across America. You know exactly what you are getting the minute you walk into the store. Don’t complain to me that the kinda slutty sparkly strapless dress you bought for $ 35 and wore out clubbing didn’t hold up to more than 3 washes (like you needed it to last that long anyway).
Tank tops, leggings, inexpensive scarves/​purses/​earrings that you don’t mind forgetting in the cab but still look good. Jeggings for $ 20? Gold and silver sequined finger-​less gloves for $ 10? Why yes, I’ll take two, thanks.

Ever wanted to see how hard you could throw a folded up pair of jeans at someone’s head?

I think the clothes might be made… cheaply, but at least they pass the savings on to you.
Recently I bought some jeans– buy one get one half off. No complaints there. They had a great assortment of colors– I was primarily looking for denim… But they also had a rainbow of vibrant Crayola colored jeans– they remind me too much of the 80s (anyone remember the store United Colors of Benneton?). I just don’t feel like I want to dress the way I did when I was 7– can anyone else identify with this?
Before you go, don’t forget to check out the clearance section. Lots of gems can be found for less than $ 10.
At Metrotown, some stores you can’t buy anything for less than $ 50, here your money goes a bit further.

Everything I saw that had potential… they were out of my size. It seems like the only sizes they carry are XL/​XXL/​XXL. And frankly, gaining weight to fit into cheap clothes? Uh… no thanks.
But for the most part, the stuff they have in there were alright. I’d wear it. If they’d fit.
