Banana Republic - chestnut hill, ma br store

My 19 yr. old daughter went to this store to return a gift received for Xmas from her grandfather. The gift was originally ordered online and contained the original receipt, not a gift receipt. My daughter politely asked for a gift card and a confused clerk named Lauren waid she wasn't she how to process that request. Instead of asking for help she immediately credited the purchaser's credit card. When I arrived on the scene my daughter was aghast, trying to communicate to the clerk that this was a gift and that she wanted a gift card in place of it. I reiterated that and said the situation was unacceptable as now my daughter had no gift and my father was left with a credit on his card. A second clerk (Noah) got involved, telling me that this was store policy even though I had also come to the exact same store 2 weeks earlier and had NO problem receiving a gift card which I have already used on new merchandise. I explained this to Noah who told me I was wrong, , forcing me to tell her that in spite of store policy, she was mistaken and that Lauren had not listened to the request and should have asked for assistance. I further told her that she should admit the mistake instead of hiding behind store policy to cover her ###. I was polite and calm but Noah became angrier, insisting I should leave the store if I couldnt' be respectful. The bottom line here? Poor training, poor management, poor customer service, no Xmas gift for my daughter, all because these women couldn't do a simple job or ask for help from management. As consumers we should all boycott the mediocrity.

Maybe you should have been there with your daughter to help with that transaction. Is it really worth getting upset over some clothes? You need to get a life and simply get another gift with that credit!
