I have window shopped a couple of times but have never made any purchase at any of the Max Mara stores within SCP. As my mom and I entered the store today, I was greeted by a tall salesperson named ?Tata (she might have been a lead/manager). It was an awkward encounter, as in she was asking for our names (even got our names wrong afterwards) and then suggested that we were regular clients which was not true. She then brought another salesperson (forgot her name, but it was an Asian/Filipino-descent), and asked her to help us. I felt like they were working like "partners in crime" and forced us to try on clothes while we just wanted to casually browse the shop. They were suggesting outfits, as in they were desperate to make sales transactions. We were put in extremely uncomfortable situation, so we wanted to exit the shop immediately. As we were trying to exit, the two ladies continued to harass us and suggested more outfits.
I have to say that I have never had such a shopping experience before. I have shopped at higher-end designer stores (Chanel, LV, and Prada), and I have only had comfortable shopping experience inside their stores and had professional interactions with their salespeople. We felt like we were being attacked by a couple of "pitbulls" or "gang members" in an alley. Honestly, we would have stayed longer to browse their shop and potentially made purchases, but we wanted to run in the other direction because these ladies were literally harassing us to the point where we did not feel comfortable shopping there. We will make certain that we will run past this store as quickly as we can whenever we pass by this store inside SCP.
