I expect to be treated with the same respect as I treat them when I walk in. They are there obviously because they like bags and they need a job, and I am there for that reason too! hehe .(Cause why would someone work at LV and hate bags?? The horror! And why would I spend so much time obsessing about bags if I had a job to occupy me?? lol)
So we have that in common. I'm not better than them and they're not better than me.
I dont expect to be a princess, but I expect to be able to touch every item there if I want to, and not HAVE to purchase anything to be treated nicely.
To be honest, I do most of my shopping by phone so they are very patient with me while browsing and "fondling" the merchandise...
I usually do quick phone charge and send orders where I knew what I wanted and knew they had it before I even called because my SA had already told me they had it in stock there by looking in the computer.
I've only dealt with 866 and the LV boutique inside of Saks in Indianapolis, IN personally to a great extent.
Unfortunately, in every situation I have known their product more than they did. I had a rep from 866 tell me this morning that the Cerises line was a fall 2006 item. Funny, cause I was sporting a Cerises speedy in MARCH OF 2005. lol. She had lots more funny blunders to tell me too about some shoe lines. I am glad I knew better.
Two of the SAs at Saks Indy told me that LV didnt even make an Aurelia GM when I went in January AND February. I had to make them look it up in the computer. The January visit they looked it up, but didn't "really" look so of course they declared that no Aurelia GM ever exisited. In February, I had to beg them to check again and swear over and over that I wasn't an idiot who imagined items on Eluxury's site. Of course, they located a few across the US when actually checking for me.
There are few stores in the US that carry them in stock, but they ARE made and are authentic. Reps tend to think if they haven't seen the item in person, it must be an urban legend and they automatically say "Well it probably wasn't authentic". I HATE hearing that! Especially since we are talking about ELUXURY items! Geeze folks!
But, I must say, I have never been treated anything but fabulously from LV as a whole even when I am arguing that I know a bag exists. lol
I SOOO wish I lived near a big store. I've lived near big ones but wasn't a LV shopper then. What a waste!
There, enough ranting. Thanks for this thread.
