Chico's does that. No mirrors in the dressing room. I swear it's so you have to come out so they can tell you how fab you look so you are more likely to buy.
YES....that place CREEPS me out. The first time I went, I was with my mom and this insanely perky SA like walked around with us the whole time we were in there and was like, suggesting things. I appreciated that she was attentive and helpful, but when I go shopping, I am there to unwind too, chat with my mom if we are together (as a way to bond or whatever), and just enjoy the experience of going at my own pace.
Well, when I went in the dressing room, there were no mirrors and I asked the SA why and she said delightfully, "Oh so we can all see you! How beautiful you are!" Very nice, but CREEPY. There was no private hall either. You walked out of the room and you were there IN the store with people around you shopping.
I ended up buying a pair of jeans, some dress pants, and four tops (because they honestly were cute and I don't know, maybe her brainwashing worked lol) and paid with a check that made it obvious what company I work for and she got all stalkerish and was like OMG my ex husband worked there do you know so in so blah blah let me take your name and email down so I can send you some EXTRA special savings blah blah. She didn't just enter it in a computer, she wrote it down on a notepad she had on her desk and exclaimed "We would LOOOOOOVE to see you in here as much as posssssible Ms.____!!!!" *shakes* I know she probably meant well, and I should be flattered I guess, but it was just so overwhelming!
