Went to Jared at Willow Grove location…
Went to Jared at Willow Grove location on Friday, May 7, 2021 before noon with my significant other to inquire about two items I saw online. After entering the premises a tall white male approached me and welcomed us in and ask if he could help us out. I said I was looking into a ring. When I said “ring”, he immediately looked over to an African American woman and repeated what I said. It was almost like watching a skit from a show. I started to explain to her that I saw a Pandora ring that Jared was selling for a discounted price online and wanted to see it in person before considering buying it. The African American rep stated, “Oh we don’t sell Pandora in store, only online.” At first I said, “Oh ok, that’s fine.” Then this is where she made me feel as if we didn’t belong there anymore and stated “There is a Pandora in the Willow Grove mall.” It wasn’t that she was redirecting me on where to go that was the problem, it was the way she said it, as if to say, we were wasting our time at there location and perhaps me and my partner were better suited elsewhere and Willow Grove mall was more our speed. If she had not been so inadequately presumptuous, she would have known that I was also there to see the Neil Lane collection of engagement rings for my son who is planning to propose to his girlfriend and would have easily have paid the $2,500 to $3,500 it would have cost to get it that very same day. Reps like her should be fired. Never judge a book by its cover, never. I went to another jeweler that treated me far better than this location and got the ring we were looking for without unnecessary judgmental eyes and demeanor. You see what a little kindness would do? It can cost you the cost of a ring.
