Bad service, body shaming
Last night I paid a visit to the Miladys store in Canal Walk. When entering the store it was just before closing time and I told the gentleman upon entering. I know you guys are closing soon but I just want to see if you have any swimwear left then I can come back for it tomorrow afternoon because I don't want to keep anyone up. When I got to that section, the lady working in that section saw me looking through the swimwear she looked at me and told me with a smerk on her face, we only have smalls left. I felt very embarrassed by that comment and also body shamed because I know I'm not a size small but instead of offering to assist me she decides to body shame me and that infront of my partner and other customers in that section. I continued looking through the items and found much bigger sizes, sizes upto 44/46. I then looked at her and said, I feel very offended by the comment you just made and I told her that's not a very nice thing to say, especially to someone who you can clearly see is not a size small. I've been bul**** and body shamed all my life and for me to experience this in a retail store where people are suppose to be helpful and make you feel good about the items you are purchasing is just uncalled for. I'm very disappointed in the staff at Miladys. This store caters for woman like me, and I've always felt very comfortable shopping there because I know they always have my size and I won't have to feel any type of pressure when trying to find beautiful clothing in my size and I won't have people looking at me because this store is meant to cater for people who wears bigger sizes. I don't think I will ever go back to that store again. No one offered to assist me. Instead people were making snide comments. Another customer asked a lady for help and she walked right past the customer and was shouting at her colleague close the door and it wasn't even closing time yet. I understand people are tired and want to go home. But when taking the job you knew you'd be working till 21:00pm. So don't go chasing customers away because you are irritated that you have to work this late. I didn't get the name of the lady at the store because she was not wearing a name badge but she's the only lady at that store with dreadlocks.
Warm Regards,Miladys
