I am a loyal fan of your clothing line and repeat customer of Aritzia. For this reason, I felt compelled to write this letter to your company regarding the extremely negative experience I was subjected to at the Aritzia store located in the Shops of Don Mills, - a mall I rarely frequent.

This particular day, I found a TNA jacket that I loved [item number: 36931 - Rich Red Duffle Coat] however there was only size XXS at the store. Erin was helping me. I tried on a size Small in a different color and it was perfect. She suggested that I could order it in to the store. I initially agreed to this as Erin's advice and knowledge were exemplary and helpful.

While Erin was on the phone on hold with another location, I realized that it would be unrealistic and inconvenient for the jacket to be transferred to the Don Mills and Lawrence location and that Fairview Mall would make much more sense for me. While she was on the phone, I thought I had better inform her of this immediately, so I quietly interrupted her and mentioned that I'd rather pick it up at the Fairview Mall location (at Sheppard and Don Mills).

In what sounded to me like a lecture and motivated by what I can only assume would be her commission, Erin ignored my request and insisted I return to her store by saying things to me like,

"You know, the time difference from this store is not much of difference. I know that the difference from Fairview Mall and here, is only 10 minutes - it's

a very limited jacket. There are less sizes of this and we should just do it now

otherwise you might not get it- So you want me to transfer it here, or not?".

I responded by telling Erin a SECOND time, I'd still rather it be transferred to Fairview Mall.

Fairview mall is a much more convenient point for me, as I reside in Whitby, and have an 8 month old baby in tow. The ten minutes time difference Erin cited, is in fact closer to a 45 min (or more depending on traffic!) difference round trip.

As I said earlier, Erin was initially friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. But when she refused to hear my requests or prioritize my personal needs over her own, I was very disappointed and felt afterward that what seemed like genuine interest in me as a customer was nothing more than a disingenuous, fake interaction.

And while this would have been negative enough, the most negative aspect of my experience came when she snickered and murmured what seemed to be comments about me as I was leaving the store.
