The Buckle

Recently my husband and I have lost a few lbs and decided to purchase some new clothing, inparticular, pants. Neither of us really knew our new sizes so when the Manager asked if she could help we both guessed at a size. First, she helped my husband and picked out several pairs of pants in a smaller size that she thought might fit him better than the size he chose and she was right, they fit great. THan she did the same for me. SHe was very helpful and knowledgable about sizes and cuts of the jeans. All in all it was a very pleasant shopping experience and we both came away happy with our purchases, which is raare. THeir prices are a bit up there (we spent $ 600.00 on 6 pairs of pants and 2 shirts, but the pants seem to be good quality and they actually look very good on my husband as well as the 2 shirts he bought. I don’t mind paying a lttle more if they don’t shrink and hold up after washing. If they do, we will deffinatly be back for more. I do love the way they fit and feel. They have a bit of stretch to them and at my age I need that. THe one issue I have is that the ones I bought have a kind of chemical smell. I’m sure it will wash out, at least I hope it will.

I don’t go to the mall often to shop for clothes, but when I do I stock up.
When I entered the Buckle, I was casually met by the store manager who was very friendly without being pushy. I browsed and gathered for a bit, then she got me a dressing room offered to bring me additional items she thought would work for my build. Her manner was extremely attentive and she was probably the most cheerful salesperson I’ve ever dealt with. EVER!
The sales guy that showed me a few of the watches was very patient and helpful as well — and took his time with me even though it was near closing time.
I left with a fairly hefty bill, but it had to be the most pleasant shopping experience I’ve ever had.
The only negative thing I have to say is that I think their prices are a bit too high.

I went into this Buckle store looking for some jeans and had an awful experience!!! The sales people bombarded me with things to try on and insisted that I show them everything so they could give me fake compliments. Once they realized that I wasn’t going to buy anything, they seemed really annoyed and kept questioning me as to why I didn’t want the jeans. I didn’t even get a chance to look around– they just picked out stuff they thought I would want. My boyfriend was there with me too and had to contend with the guy sales associate while I was in the dressing room. He was just there waiting for me and started getting harassed about trying on some $ 130 jeans. He said that he wasn’t interested and told the guy that he didn’t really have the money anyways…
Being shocked about the experience I had, I looked online at reviews that other people have posted and was surprised to see that some people actually like to be stalked while they’re shopping and think that’s good service! I will never go into another buckle store again and hope this place goes out of business.
