Vitamin Shoppe Does Not Care About their Customers Policies are more important
Came up to the Vitamin Shoppe, that I have been shopping at for years now, about 4, in the state of texas, with some products that did not work well for me. I called before I came, and came up to the store hopeful that the store manager Josh could do something for me concerning the issue since when he and I spoke he said to me he would see what he can do. I hauled these items in to the store only to be turned away with no assistance or willingness to assist whatsoever. It became clear to me that at the end of the day the store and policies are more important to the vitamin shoppe than the customer and customer retention. To that I say honestly think twice before shopping at this store location. Now if your of the Caucasian persuasion you may have better luck than this African American Woman Had as I have witnessed first hand exceptions being made to their policies by Josh. Aside from that I believe that he reached out to his district manager ahead of me to give his input to blatantly stop me from getting any additional assistance. That became evident when the corporate office also reached out to the district manager who went solely off of what the manager Josh messaged to her. Jan the district manager did not try to reach me or discuss this issue with me at all. My initial assumption of the fact that I felt Josh had reached out while I was also in the process of reaching out, was confirmed when I went back into the store and asked Josh if he got a chance to speak to his district manager. He first said no. As if he had no communication with said person, then as I mentioned the conversation with corporate then proceeds to tell me that he messaged Jan about the situation. Josh basically is picky and choosy about who and when he is going to help someone or make an exception because as I mentioned before they have made exceptions regarding similar issues that I personally witnessed first hand. I’ll be filing additional complaints regarding this since Josh took it upon himself to reach out to his district manager after the fact instead of reaching her while I was in his presence right then and there. I would look at this situation differently if he had chose to say hey let me check with my district manager to see what they say because I want to help you, but no, he was sneaky and underhanded about reaching out and so now I’m forced to never shop here or any vitamin shoppe ever again. Great Job Josh! & Jan. Great way to treat a loyal customer.
