I feel like I should have packed my hole with vaseline before I went shopping last night.

I went to Men's Warehouse to buy interview clothes, since I'm on the job hunt now. I walked in, a little black guy with a gerry curl and a nasty brown suit on came up to me and greeted me. Started asking about what I wanted, etc, so I told him.

"I want some black pants, and I was thinking a dark blue shirt, with a gold/yellow tie... I'll be going in for a couple interviews."

He asked me why I'm not going white then, and I told him because I didn't want white, he also asked why I wasn't gonna wear a jacket, I told him cause it's 100 f*ckin degrees out and I'm not applying for a CEO position. At this point I was starting to get annoyed. So he goes and grabs a bunch of ish... black pants, and some grey pants... And about 5 shirts, none of which were dark blue. He starts matching shirts to ties, etc, I just watched him, and thought his taste was HORRIBLE. I told him I don't like any of the shirts, and that I want a dark shirt. Then I saw the price on the pants and about shit. I told him Hey man, I'm gonna need to keep this under or around $300. He just responds with well it's gonna be close.

So after about 30 minutes of his bullshit, he finally grabs a shirt I like, after I pointed to the color. "Ohhhhh you mean french blue" Fuck man, I don't know! Is it dark blue? Then yes! Ugh. Then he keeps matching nasty ties to it, and I was getting pissed, almost ready to walk out. I finally walked over to the tie section and found one that looked awesome with it, laid it out, and bought it.

After everything I ended up paying $367 and some change. That's a lot of Jeep parts, wtf. The ONLY reason I walked out of there with anything is because I needed this stuff now. I think I may write to Men's Warehouse and tell them about the customer service they've got at there Temecula store.

/rant.
 
Call 'em. I left a complaint about their customer service once, and they sent me a $50 gift certificate.
 
shit dude. shoulda told me, we coulda gone to nordstrom and walked out for less. seriously.

btw...you always wanna wear blue in an interview, its a trusting color, white means you have personality.

that sucks dude. you should call and rant to them. sorry you had a bad experience.

And see that's about what I was going for, I may take the shirt back, I dunno, if I can find another shirt. I don't like the material of this shirt at all... It's too stretchy.
 
yea...materials are weird...and youre a bigger guy (no offense) so material matters more then it does to someone my size...it if doesnt wear right or isnt comfortable...take it back.

Damn you guys have expensive taste. Shirt, pants, suit, tie, shoes, socks, belt, etc. at Kohls would probably be under $200 out the door.

Dude, you got bent! Sorry to add salt to the wound.... I know you live quite a ways from Downtown LA. But we just picked up a suit for my son for $70. Pants, shirt, jacket, tie, and hankey... + $7 more for getting it tailored around the corner.
