Inka’s Uniforms

Because of a very bad encounter with the store owner, I avoid shopping here.

The way in which we were treated was unconscionable. We left The store after the owner suggested that we could not afford to shop there! This occurred in 2012, and from what I have recently learned, the same «shaming «behaviors are still ongoing.
I must add that this was not even my own child nor was I related to her. I was merely trying to help a friend who did not have time to shop for her grandchild’s back to school clothing.
My goal was to try to purchase the plaid fabric and sew the skirt myself. This was unacceptable and apparently not within the realm of possibility in 2012. When I asked the owner if I could purchase the fabric, she told me that it was «very expensive» and implied that I could not afford it.
Because of this experience, I learned to deconstruct or to take apart previously worn uniforms and up cycle or recycle them into «new» uniform skirts for plus size children.
Contrary to the owners suggestion that I could not afford to purchase the fabric, or that it was very expensive; the truth is that I could have purchased an entire bolt of it if she had only allowed me the privilege. All fabrics have code numbers or letters indicating the price and other important features. I know this because I used to procure fabric for a local company.
I was contacted by the Unilocal team to do a review of this particular shop. In my opinion, if you are not within the realm of what is considered «normal sizing, «it would be wise to shop elsewhere or online.
Most people who have children in public and private schools in the Baton Rouge and Denham Springs areas need to ponder how they spend their money and with whom.
Customers should not be judged on their appearance or size, regardless. At this particular store, though some of the workers try to be helpful, there is an air of snobbery here that I have not experienced in other stores. and I must say that it starts at the top.
This is my experience ;and to treat any plus sized child size as a freak of nature is totally unacceptable.
People of all sizes, shapes, colors and personalities enjoy shopping in stores that treat them with respect and dignity.
Until and unless this business learns that humans come in all sizes and colors, and they have feelings, I believe that, regardless of their expansion, they will eventually lose customers to online markets.
I am speaking as a consumer and as a seamstress… This is not a personal attack on anyone but I do hope that this review is taken seriously.
No child should have to leave a uniform shop with tears streaming down their face.

Virtually no men’s medical scrubs selection. Just another typical sexist scrubs store in small town, backwards Baton Rouge. Would not have commented, but don’t believe Inkas reply to Mandy V’s review. It’s no wonder most men just get there scrubs online.

Don’t go here if u are a man… Horrible selection of scrubs for men.
I give this place 3 stars only because they have a great selection of scrubs for women.
They also carry school uniforms and it seems they cater more to that end of the business. I don’t have kids but it looked like a good selection considering the store is large and they have half the store dedicated to school uniforms.
If they would have had literally more than one small circular rack for men I would have given them 4 stars.
