I hope they take feedback seriously and make changes. I've had the same experience as you multiple times since it's opening. I've had to wait 20-30 mins for help even at non busy times. I hope it's just a staffing issue since the location is new.
Interesting to hear - and disappointing you experienced this multiple times. How is it typically supposed to work? I've only been in a couple of Hermes retail stores before, and they were not very busy, so I could easily get my questions answered. It seems like even a sign-up sheet, though old-fashioned, would help solve matters!

In most of my experiences at other Boutiques, usually security asks whether or not you have been helped and they let the SAs know through the 2 way radio (you can see that all the SAs and security have headsets). I agree that a sign up sheet would work. They could also do the list system where they text you when an SA is available.

Sorry to hear about your sub-par experiences @GoStanford. :sad: I do hope they make it right for you the next time you go in. I encourage you and @MotoChiq try again as I think new stores sometimes have to find their way and work out the staffing/training glitches...to find their groove if you will. The handful of times I have gone to the store (mostly weekdays at varied times) I have been attended to quickly and received great service, so hoping the best for you and others as well.

Just an update that the store manager at Palo Alto said they will be attending two more SAs within the month to help alleviate the long waiting times. I think that's a nice step in the right direction, and also good that they have a lot of customers coming in.
That’s good to hear. I think Palo Alto has the potential to be a great little location for H. I know I’ll be back when I come home for the holidays! Thanks for keeping us posted.

I have a B30 from Palo Alto from early June.

She’s gorgeous! That’s the perfect color and great twilly choice too.

Do you have any tips on what I should do to get offered besides the usual? What kind of items do you think I should buy? I was already thinking of a ready to wear jacket ($870) and maybe two of their shoes ($1100 each) plus some twillies. How long did you wait?
