A Pea In The Pod

The store itself is beautiful as it’s new, but the staff wasn’t very pleasant. There were 4 women working when I walked in and I was the only customer. No one said hello and I barely got a head nod of acknowledgement. I wandered around touching and looking at a few things and finally someone asked if I needed anything. I said I’d never been in the store before and the woman simply replied with an «oh ok». No offer to help me at all! I left right after that, as it was incredibly awkward to be outnumbered by unfriendly sales people. I have no intention of ever going in that store again, which is a shame because the clothing was beautiful!

Older female employee kept following my pregnant wife, obviously thinking she was going to steal something. No wonder this store has such poor reviews. We’re never going to this specific APITP store again!

First of all, the selection and styles of the clothes is bizarre. Definitely not on-​trend and styles more for women in the 40+ age range. Seriously not impressed. I’m 31 and just — no, not even to wear to work.
The sales people are AWFUL. One sales lady kept offering unsolicited suggestions of things to me (very expensive things) and finally I said, «I don’t like that.» To which she said: «oh, you don’t? But it’s so nice!» Um, no — it’s not, and I’m not going to buy it.
The second sales girl took forever ringing me up, almost 20 minutes — and I was buying a single t-​shirt. They were super pushy about getting me sign up for their emails. Again, no thank you, I don’t want it.
I’ll stick to H&M and Gap, cuter clothes at better prices.
Upside — their clearance section is as big as the rest of the store. I wonder why.

my wife and I went to this store looking for maternity clothes. After meeting with a salesperson that suggested buying certain items, we thought that we had an enjoyable experience. After my wife got home and realized the belly band that she bought did not fit, She figured that since she had the receipt, it would be no problem to return this item. The sales associate also assured that this item would fit, never informed us that this item would not be returnable. This store is overpriced and ridiculous!!! this belly band was 80 $ when it costs only $ 30 in similar stores. The rest of the items fell apart in the wash and who can afford 45 $ for a tank top. After having to send her 70 year old mother to the store to do the return because it was purchased on her credit card, they were extremely rude and would not do the return. This store is horrible and I wouldn’t suggest anybody spending theirhard earned dollars here!!!

You are only as good as your weakest team member: Hemma (or henna?).
A few months overdue for this review but still upsetting enough that I must share my experience. At 6 months pregnant, I drove from San Francisco to the Corte Madera shopping center with my mom to get some clothes at A Pea in the Pod. When we walked in, a girl working there gave us the dirtiest look and my mom and I looked at each other confused. We ignored it and someone else helped us by putting some clothing into a fitting room for me. When we were ready to try on, the girl who had put our clothes into the room for us was busy so we asked the same girl who had given us the angry glare if she could let us into a room since she was just standing there doing nothing at all. She very rudely said «_​_​_​was helping you» and looked down at the counter and ignored us! We were shocked at her rudeness. (FYI I worked in retail for years in the past and never saw such behavior). The other girl came and let us into the room and apologized for Henna’s rude behavior, and said they had problems with the girl and that she only worked part time. I was still shocked and upset at her extremely rude attitude toward my mom and myself. What’s more– she is a liar! We asked what her name was and she made up something– Michelle?! I had a feeling she was lieing so I asked her coworker who said her name was Henna or Hemma. The girl should not be working there and I hope by now she has been fired. She no doubt has psychological issues and does not belong in a store for expectant mothers and babies! Unfortunately she reflects very poorly on the store itself and we have not (and will not) returned since.
