Ann Taylor Factory

When at the outlets, I usually take a stroll through here. I sometimes buy something, and sometimes regret that. Buying a clearance nice shirt for $ 9.99 looked like a great deal, but the service is lacking. You can find some good deals here, but be prepared to wait.
I stood in line while a lady was counting her drawer (yes they close in 40 minutes); I was the only one in the store and still she had to call for others to stop vacuuming and help me. Another individual came and as she rang me up the computer froze. I get that it wasn’t her fault, but the other individual (a manager, but not *the* manager of the store) said she couldn’t help until she recounted since she still couldn’t get the drawer to add up right [a little crazy that she admitted she counted $ 100 twice]. So finally, she goes to help and she starts saying, «I don’t know what the hell to do.» Meanwhile, I log onto my bank on my phone and see that they already charged $ 10 to my account. After ten minutes of her messing with the computer and wanting to swipe my card again, I request a receipt… if not a printed, something handwritten on company paper. In the end I got a handwritten memo with text message style abbreviations and spelling errors. Whatever happened to stores keeping carbon paper with receipt lines for if credit card machines were down? Something to record a transaction? Thankfully, its not a pricey top and *fingers crossed* the pending charge still looks like the appropriate amount. It took fifteen minutes, but in the end the $ 10 shirt wasn’t really worth the hassle and attitude.
Also, the signs about taking an additional X% off lowest ticketed price aren’t always honored. Originally, I thought the shirt would be down to $ 6. Lame.
