Question

I'm being disrespected from a ladies' consignment store. I need advice?

I'm sooo angry right now, I'm not sure what to say. These ladies BI***** more like it are trying to call me a liar and make me look like the bad guy. I brought in a skirt to this consignment store, and it didn't sell, so I went to pick it up.. I KNOW FOR 100% certainty this is my skirt. they marked it wrong, and made a mistake but they will never acknowledge this. It's just easier to say, no that's not yours it must just be one just like it.. why would I try to lie and make up a skirt is mine if it isn't? It was only $5. What do I do? Noone is on my side, and here I am KNOWING the truth, and noone will help me. I just want my skirt back, plain and simple. I feel I have to totally stick up for myself when I KNOW for a fact, they're wrong and they're willing to lose a customer over it. Any suggestions on what to do?? Make a scene? never go there again, that's a given... I'm just cannot believe the lack of respect and trust this store has for their loyal cosigners. how rude they are. unbelievable.. anyone experience something like this? I do have a picture, but it's on my computer. God damnit. I am not going to let them tell me I CANNOT keep a skirt that belongs to ME!! there's tons of ways to prove it's mine. she could call the other person who they say the skirt belongs to... they just want to be right soooo badly, that they get to keep my skirt. I will not MOVE ON. that's what the ladies want me to do.. just MOVE ON.. I'm being wronged and it's not OK. I'm sick of letting others determine for me. I need the money, and was planning to sell it on EBAY.. and if I move on and let them get away with this, that's saying... i'm wrong.. when I KNOW I'M NOT.. Why should they get to keep a skirt I bought to make money off of for myself, JUST BECAUSE they marked it wrong!! I'm getting more angrier by the minute... why are they trying sooo badly to keep a skirt that I know is MINe.. why do they insist on being right.. instead of saying.. oh MAYBE we made a mistake..??

Heehaw. Sorry, I am not laughing at you. I am laughing at how much you remind me of myself. I would walk through fire to prove my honesty. I commend you for standing up for your honesty and integrity. These are parts of ourselves that are very valuable and you recognize that importance. Now, on to my advice. Hum mm... Let's see, did you get a receipt from the store when you took it in? You should have. Also, since you should have a receipt, they should be able to show you either paperwork showing that displays Information regarding them showing the item; or, the item itself. It is important for both of you to have a paper trail. If you do not have your receipt, ask to see their records of the day that you brought your item in. It should have your name and item listed. If they do not keep these kind of records, the shop could end up being closed down, so don't let them wiggle out of this. See if there are other people working there who will help you to get to the root of the problem, basically their record of taking your item and your name and dispersant, if and when the item went anywhere. You might call and ask for a supervisor. At least try to talk with someone who will take you problem seriusly. Next time you go there, try to take a parent or a friend with you - preferably male. They will be much less likely to try to intimidate you. Think of it this way. If they are doing this to you, they are probably doing this to other people. It is time for their bad seller or management actions be nipped in the bud. Keep your cool! Just because they are being nasty to you, does not mean you have to stoop to their low level. It may seem outlandish, but you could take them to Small Claims Court for very little money and no need for a lawyer. Think and Act -- don't just react! I wish you well.

Do you have ANY proof at all that the skirt is yours that you can show them? A receipt? A picture of you wearing it? Try finding something to prove its yours then go back in there.

I hate to say it but move on, my wife brought in hundreds of dollars of name brand clothes to a consignment store, went in a month later to get her money and was told they donated them to charity. You can sue in small claims but the time and effort isn't worth it. We filed a complaint with the better business bureau and city hall that issued her business license.
