Ricky’s Tailor Shop

Quick service and great prices, everyone is very nice. Will be going back here for future alterations needed.

So, I recently found a cute pair of pants. They’re so cute I convinced myself I could overlook the fistful of extra material around the waist. Second time I wore them I knew I had to have the waist taken in — no belt can unnoticeably cinch in or oversized shirt hide a gap that big.
I didn’t have any previous experience with Ricky’s, but I’m always in this part of town and this job didn’t seem too difficult, so I thought this would be a good opportunity to try them out.
They interacted with me as little as possible — the vibes I got from them had an overtone of ‘you’re wasting my time’ — and their perfunctory approach concerned me.
I tried on the pants for them and indicated how much I wanted the waist taken in, but the person helping me used pins to mark a point quite a bit shy of my preference. Even after showing him again how I’d like the waist to fit, I got the feeling that I was being ignored.
When I returned to pick them up, it took me a while to catch someone’s attention. I wasn’t offered the opportunity to try on the pants there to confirm the fit (but I didn’t ask, either). Again, the main objective seemed to be to get me out of there as quickly as possible.
I tried on the pants at home. As I suspected the waist is still too big, but I can at least wear them now. The workmanship looks good, but if I decide to have them altered again I’m going to look elsewhere.
Good points: The turn-​around was amazingly fast — I hope they don’t sacrifice sleep or fingers to maintain the pace. And they charged approximately nothing for the work (around $ 15).
