What resonated to me was what your manager said, “there’s nothing here that anybody needs, we are just aspirations and dreams.” Very true! I never started luxury until I was in my 50’s after establishing my career, house, kids done with college (1 almost) and travelled. I thought… hmm.. now I NEED these lux goods that I lusted for years when I can’t afford it or not in my priority to capped my accomplishments, the icing on the cake. What I found in these lux journey is that the line between the wants versus needs narrowed. I ended up NEEDING more and more. But it’s just really A WANT. I still have my wish list but will be more conscientious now before purchasing anything. Thank you Michelle for this video.

What a good revelation Michelle! This is particularly helpful for everyone to be considerate to the SA and also to someone who wants to work in the retail or LV store. The whole sales and category quotas are way too stressful mentally. This probably explains the unenthusiastic SA’s service if they feel clients will not purchase anything. Personally, I never walked in a luxury story with no “INTENTION” of buying something. I’ve walked out empty handed because the bag I intended to purchase did not work for my liking or it’s not available. I declined politely to SA when offered to try on products I have no plan of purchasing sparing waste of my time and the SA’s.

Great video, Michelle! I applaud you for sticking it out at a retail establishment that had to deal with what sounds like some real "doozies." LV sounds like a place where you'd think that clients especially would be very well-behaved. I've worked a lot of jobs dealing with the public, from selling giftware and groceries, to working in a municipal office dealing with folks needing to pay their auto and real estate taxes. I have to say that while all jobs had their "challenging" customers, the higher the ticket price of the bill (real estate and auto taxes as an example), the snobbier/nastier people could become when they didn't get what they demanded. You should have been given full-time hours and not be required to hustle so hard for very little commission. I wish folks would live by Golden Rule and treat people right, regardless of the side of the transaction they're on. Keep spilling that tea!! 🙂

Hello! I’m a fan and a new sub, and I have a question, what’s your opinion on cowhide wallets from LV? I used to have the monogram canvas but recently I purchased the multiple wallet in cowhide leather but now I am not sure if I want to keep it. I want to hear from you if I should, my issue with it is that there’s some kind of glue or adhesive thats peeling off of the leather. It’s a 800$ wallet and I wanna make sure that it’s worth it and a good investment and that it will last me a lifetime. Hope to hear back from you. I would appreciate it a lot

Hey! Thanks for the video! I would have never thought that there would be shoplifting in an LV store. Maybe this is a difference between Europe and America. Most LV stores here have a guard of some sort. Interesting to hear more about customers with crazy demands ;) Treating people with respect is definitely better than kissing someones feet. At least in my opinion. Irrespective of if someone is a customer or an employee. I hope that you have a great week!

I think looking I. From the outside is always different from reality. I worked at a cosmetic counter at Macy’s years ago, I was the counter manager for Prescriptives in my store, and we had sales goals, demands from the store and the company, just all kinds of stress, and some nasty customers on top of it. I think it’s always important to remember that the SA is trying their best to help you but they are only human, and the products are just manufactured goods.

“Do you know how hard it is to sell a trunk” 😂 my last day was yesterday, I was part time… goal $135k, I couldn’t sell jewelry to save my life, the manager loved me and tried to get me to stay, voice 100% every time. I’ve been in retail for 30 years and have never had real PTSD from any job. I will from this. You are spot on with every point you make. After putting my notice in, the other associates confided in me about their personal stress levels and many in tears after each and every work day. Literally yesterday one of the seemingly tough girls came out of our shared bathroom after 15 minutes wiping tears from her eyes. Returns, repairs, rudeness, and that damn phone… one girl calls it her tumor. And don’t get me started on the managers harping on the new 10k lifestyle goal!

It sounds worse than the 13-14 hour non stop urgent care shifts where I would forget to pee because we had to see so many people. And people were angry, demanding and argumentative with us too. But at least the other staff members and managers weren't competing against me or pressuring me to reach a sales goal. I always slept the day after shift too. I am glad you left , as there is no reason to treat luxury retail staff so poorly. I am sure LV wasn't facing a huge staffing shortage, if they'd treated employees well.

The return policies in the US are far too lenient imo. I lived in Thailand for several years. There were no returns. Once you bought it, it was yours. I went to the MAC counter in a department store and asked for two particular brushes. When I got back to my car, one of them was wrong and not the one I asked for. Too bad, I paid for it, it was now mine. I bought an iron that stopped working after a couple of days. I took it back and they literally plugged it in at the customer service counter to verify it really wasn’t working. No refund though, I was only allowed to exchange for the exact same iron.

But I had the feeling with every question I asked her, she was more stressed and by the end I didn’t want to see some other stuff. I was interested in some bags, but in the end I didn’t enjoy the visit at the store. I thought it was terrible. Not the service I thought it would be. And the reason for it was not the SA.

If 50% of the customers come in feeling entitled and c/o about creases (which will happen no matter what), then those people should either shop somewhere else or spend their money on something they do not mind getting creases. Alternatively, they should buy their brand new purses (or whatever) and just put it in a display case and never touch it. Then there will be no creases. This is insanity!

Well, you are put on a monthly review and closely monitored. Been there, done that. Very stressful period.
@alicebach3131 Жыл бұрын
Watched your video to the end and my heart was breaking. Why? Because I am you, have been with LV well over 10 years and listening to you just hits reality button! Every thing you mentioned applies to my role, and I’m on the other side of the world. Same company, same BS. Kept on a leash, constantly monitored, no progression, unappreciated….

I blame the rudeness of people who think that it's ok to treat people nasty because you have money ! Guess what we all bleed and breath the same air!! Put yourself in the sale person position ! How would like to be treated that way !!! Karma is real ! God help them rude arrogant non caring individuals

Love your channel, but turn off the music 🎶. It is hard to hear. Similar to dillards in quotas, sales goals. Ridiculous.

I’m sure they cut corners since most of the money probably goes to the designers and the shows

It goes to the execs…not the designers…
@DaNewWaveLee 2 жыл бұрын
I’ll be slightly lucid here. Execs probably care about equity over the pay structure you mentioned for sales associates. I do not disagree that execs get paid but for a designer to get paid 100k on Glassdoor in America puts you in the top 10% of households in America which is over 50% of other designers. Which is pretty good.

I saw first hand a LV customer returning a used bag while I was in a busy LV store. I have returned a few new unused items & it went very smoothly. I did notice the LV employees seemed more tense in the busier LV store as opposed to LV employees in the LV boutiques in the department stores.

All of this for a darn hand bag !! I know it's called luxury but it's way over rated ! Life is not about a darn over rated bag ! Heck people need homes kids need education and much need guidance in life!! I have know problem with the finer things to have or enjoy in life but when this much attention is put on material things your focus is way off especially these ridiculous prices are you kidding me !!!!! Not just LV ! Hermes is absolutely insane that's like a down payment on a house think about it !!!
