I came in yesterday to consign some clothing that my usual consignment store said to bring back as soon as the fall/winter season was about to begin.
I decided i’d consign them to uptown cheapskate instead of waiting because I had researched and found out that uptown cheapskate takes clothing from all seasons, year round.
I also checked the preferred brands list and all of my items were from those brands.
A tan Zara cardigan. Several pacsun long sleeves, ankle books from American Eagle, and maybe more warm stuff I can’t remember.
Anyway, when we went up to the counter to consign, I noticed one employee staring at me like she was disgusted. I immediately started panicking internally like do I smell? Is there something on me? Is my outfit ugly? They said “fill out this form” and so my fiance did. And then nothing. He approached again and spoke to someone else and she was acting strangely as well. She apologized and took our stuff.
We were told we’d be informed as soon as they had finished, but that didn’t happen. So before we checked out at the register, we walked up to them and asked a new lady the status and then she and another girl started nervously rambling and they grabbed a receipt or note or something. Then her eyes widened and she was like “is the last name Tate?” to which I said yes.
Mind you I’m agoraphobic so this is my worst nightmare- feeling like people are judging me and hiding something.
REMEMBER: I had come minutes ago from another consignment shop with much higher standards, and they wanted the items! They simply are much smaller and do seasons.
The workers were both staring at me and their faces were red. They said “um, I’m sorry but we can’t take your items.” I was so surprised and started immediately thinking wow, how embarrassing, they must smell or something. They must have damage. But NONE of them smell and NONE of them are damaged.
I really enjoyed shopping with you guys, but I feel like I was weirdly treated by the staff that night.
If you guys don’t do seasonal, I’ll delete this review. But if you do, this was SUPER strange.
