Catherines Plus Sizes

Not really sure about that old review, but I received fantastic service from Tish today. She helped me pick out items I really love and made the whole experience very pleasant. She even pointed me to the clearance racks and helped me comb them for items I’d like. I look forward to visiting with her again in a couple of weeks.

Service was toally dismal. I spent part of the time wishing I was a personal shopper so I could have failed them. I was greeted and then left to my own devices. One clerk did say it looked like I was «finding everything okay», I started to reply that I actually wasn’t, but she was on the other side of a door before I could get it out. Later on I did ask about silk shells, she advised it was on the underside of the store. okay. whatever. After hauling around 6 – 7 items, I asked if I could start a room — that is something they should be suggesting. All industry research states that once peoples hands are full they tend to stop looking. They were really kind to another patron who’s wife was in the hospital. They asked after her health and chatted for awhile, I on the other hand patiently waited my turn, turns out they don’t have silk shells.
All in all they are having a good sale and I recommend you hit them up. All of the items I picked up were 70% off original place. Everything that will be reasonably packed into my backpack for my travels in 2009 — double score. Must be nice to live in a place that has a real winter, you can get some stellar end of season deals.
Yay — and the sales tax is lower here. Okay not by much — only a point and a quarter and now I have the additional problem of trying to fit the new stuff into my luggage. Oh well.
I did talk to a very nicely dressed black lady that gave me some additional recommendation on where to buy clothes. I am dressed like a hoochie now.hehe.
