I went in to the Wedding Shoppe on black Friday. They knew I was coming in to try on only one dress, and possibly buy it that day. During my fitting, I made sure to ask my consultant if there were any trunk shows coming up in the next couple of months. She hesitated, but said no. Once I said I was going to purchase the dress, she said I could get 20% off if we also got our tuxedos there. I agreed and went downstairs to pay. I asked again if I'd get a discount for paying in full, they said no. Regardless, I paid in full. Just as they were handing me the receipt, a girl behind us asked if we got the ""white Friday special 20% off"". I asked the cashier and she tried to say there wasn't a special that day. I asked to talk to a manager, and she tried to divert me from doing so. Then she caught herself in a lie saying they did have a white Friday special but that she couldn't give me 40% off. (which I never asked for, 20% and 20% doesn't equal 40%...duh). 10 minutes later the manager finally came downstairs, didn't hear my story, just said she wasn't going to give me any more discount. THEN, to top it off, my consultant called and left me a message saying they were right! In summary, they knew I would pay top price for the dress so they took advantage of that. It isn't fair that other people got a larger discount just for being there that day, and I didn't. I demanded my money back, and am happy to say the Wedding Connection in Maplewood is going to give me 30% off after hearing what happened to me at the Wedding Shoppe. Unbelievable... if I could give zero stars, I would have.
