J.Crew

Love j. Crew but disappointed with the store contents And staff. Went in to find some slacks and gauge my sizing since it’s variable in pants and button ups for me. Sadly, the only pair of trousers available were the ankle cut pants. What’s more, the store lacked the famous traditional j. Crew button downs. The sales staff was inattentive demonstrated by my lingering around the fitting room waiting for someone to open up a room for me or starting a fitting room with the items I had in tote. When I finally did ask someone at the register for a room, a sales associate did not check in on me while I was trying things on which I don’t mind, but you’d think they’d be a little more on their toes after I had to ask someone.
The store is well organized and featured a decent sized sale section, but will keep my shopping to online or the j. Crew at Merrick park.

Great J. Crew men’s store! Its always very well-​organized and easy to find what you’re looking for. Something that I admire about J. Crew in general is the employees. Everyone at this location particularly is very nice, friendly, and always willing to help you out!
They helped me find a little something I was looking for and get the best deal possible! Very accommodating. I would certainly recommend this J. Crew store! Love it!

Cute store, nicely displayed. Women, Men and children sections. Purchased a cute pair of blue boat shorts, and a white spring/​summer tunic dress. BF bought a pair of shorts and couple t-​shirts, the sales women are definitely more aggressive then the men which I don’t consider a positive thing, I had 2 – 3 women trying to help me and since it didn’t seem they were working together, I didn’t know who’s name I should say to get the commission. When we went to the mens section I felt like I could breathe… we ended telling the cashier we had 2 people helping us one from each team…
I do want someone to be around just in case i may need a diff. size or need an opinion, but I don’t like being bombarded. please give me some space. and when something does not fit me well or flatter me, don’t lie, i can see what i look like in the mirror… i have worked retail i get it, but dont try and tell me that its supposed to look like that. i find that annoying.

And so the plan was to be greeted with open arms when I (south beach prodigal) returned to my fam, thanks to the lovely prepsters at J. Crew!
To do this, I jetted on in to my local J. Crew store to grab a few items as a «Welcome Back Home, Clay» gift to all. Quite thoughtful, you’re thinking? Agreed. Anyways, after exchanging all the pleasant greetings and small chit-​chats with my dearest of faux friends from behind counter, I was pleased to find plenty of fun beachy-​themed (read: Nantucket) designs and prints on many of their offerings. Who cares if I’m not returning from the glorious Cape, but rather sun drenched, sweaty tourist populated south Florida?
What special finds would be relied on to redeem this punk? Well the gals excitedly whisked me over to some sweet finds, such as:
Two madras cabana handbags (sister, 9 &11)
Plaid cabana handbag (sister, 13)
Super short madras shorts (sister, 16)
Madras swimsuit and a phony Nantucket fish-​shack shop tee (the father)
Enamel/​gold jewelry (the Mum)
And an Lily-​Pulitzterish umbrella (heck it was on sale, they can fight over who it’s for).
What gets me is the amount of enthusiasm they were carrying the whole time, and the extra-​special TLC put into gift-​wrapping the items, too. And the kicker is that I don’t think it was my boisterous entourage, the head to toe Marc Jacobs wrapping my limbs, or the Black amex I used to settle these goods as mine that would explain such top-​notch service. In fact, my crummy friends, I know such is not the case!
And now on to rating these jokers.
For giving splendid service which included wonderful suggestions, dealing with me while feeling ever-​so vulnerable and willing to spend whatever necessary to make my family happy, I give them a perfect FIVE-​star rating since it was so difficult for them. Woot!
After all dearest online browsing people, when shopping, this tanned and worn Sobe hag expects no less than stellar service and complimentary libations! That sounds redundant, I know, but these days you just don’t know. Oh. which reminds me. they don’t offer drinks there, unless you consider plastic-​bottled spring water «drink.» No champagne, no ridiculously named martini, no drops of wine. Disparaging!
And for that, still, this whole sensually-​wickered tease package gets the FIVE-​star rating. Oh please, people, we easies just get each other. There’s nothing like a smiley Gin Rickey playin hard to get!
