Thank you - I've read some of the posts and I think I need to develop a new shopping tatic. (or would that be skill?)
Here's how I shop at Coach. 1st Choice Order from web site. No interaction with sales people necessary.
If unsure about bag go to Coach Store - barrel past the women in black and white - avoid making eye contact - go directly to bag in question. Purchase or leave.
To shop at the outlet - walk in behind a group of people - avoiding eye contact with anyone dressed in black and white circle store a couple of times - when the people in black and white start introducing themselves (because you are holding 2 pairs of gloves a bag and a wristie) and asking if they can help you find anything - pay and leave right away!
I can see - maybe I should actually talk to the people dressed in black and white.
Hopefully I'll get one this time, I haven't really been shopping lately at the boutiques only for accessories. I've been buying my bags from the outlets.Since it's the holidays maybe they will send it to everyone in there system (great present from Coach letting us customers know they apprehiate us all) instead of the minimum dollars spent in the previous quarter.
I hope I get one. I'm going to lose faith in coach if I don't. First my mutilated bag and then not getting a 25 percent off coupon after I've spent thousands there.
I am so hoping to get one but I am afraid that I blew it a few years ago. I got one a few years back and didn't use it so I never got another one (but I also didn't spend much at Coach boutiques after that, either). I spent over $500 since September so maybe I've redeemed myself and they'll give me another chance. :s
