Bench

I can’t say that I always buy something at Bench, but I always go in on the off chance that I find something unique. I also find it a little on the pricey side, but when I saw ‘SALE’ across the windows, I figured a peek wouldn’t hurt. The sales could be better, but I did still buy a dress (with the money from an item I returned to a different store…). While I like that this store is one of the bigger ones I have been in… it is always a mess! It wouldn’t bother me so much, except sometimes you can’t move around or you miss really nice items because there are clothing racks and piles of stuff everywhere. The fitting rooms could also use a sweep because I am pretty sure that the dust bunnies could eat me alive! Of course there are no benches (haha… see what I did there?) or chairs in the rooms and two hooks so something has to go on the floor! That being said, the staff are usually friendly and usually helpful… I say usually because there are a few staff members that are a little aloof, but the guy that helped me at the cash register was really lovely.
