text: This is an odd and confounding review to write This place has got solid five star reviews so it looks like I am going to be the odd man out here in the experience I had when I visitednnMy girl and I are getting married soon so the other day we decided to start yelping places to look for a suit We found Mens Apparel Club shining like a beacon amongst the mostly scathing Mens Wearhouse reviews It was a no braineran affordable and well reviewed local businessI had my mind made up and my credit card in the holster ready to buy if I found something decentnnUpon walking in we were promptly greeted by Barry and had a quick discussion regarding the style I was looking for He quickly found a suit that was right down my alley and that I could easily see myself getting into This is maybe where we got off on the wrong foot As Barry was talking about the suit my fiance got out her phone to show him a picture of her dress just to get his opinion on if they would match or not She was quickly given a sweetieno pictures warning as Barry thought she was getting her phone out to take pictures This is fine I understand his reasoning behind this but the experience went downhill at this point nnWhat happened from hereI am still confused about I began to ask questions about the suit as he allowed me to try the coat portion on and educated us on the ins and outs of buying a suit for a good ten minutes or so I liked how the coat fit and was definitely thinking I needed to try on the whole get up That is when he hit us with thisI quotennI know I am wasting my time with people like you You are not going to buy here and I know that You are going to shop around and do what you do That is okay I do not mind helping you out I really do not You know why You are young and you do not know any better You got to learn this stuff some way I feel like it is my duty nnThis statement did not sit well with me right off the bat There is nothing worse than being told what sort of person you are Stereotypingassuming to this level is something I have rarely experienced in a retail situation I do not tolerate it in my personal life and absolutely will not stand for it when I am voluntarily looking to give someone my business I let it slide and moved onnnWe both at this point made a concerted effort to let him know that we were in fact very much considering buying a suit at his establishment I even at one point said I have not heard the best things about Mens Wearhouse and other similar places so I am absolutely interested in making the purchase here if we can find something I tried to make several not so subtle hints that I was in fact very much wanting and willing to make a purchase with him but he was not hearing it for some reason or another nnHe continued to almost antisell us from this point out It was extremely odd It was like the opposite of being at a car dealership We felt as if we could not try on suits or buy anything there even if we wanted to He made multiple comments regarding shopping around at other places and continued to minimize our intention to buy The odd thing washe gave us all sorts of good advice regarding the ins and outs of buying a suit However at the same time he seemed unwilling and uninterested in selling us one personally nnAfter about minutes we finally decided it was time to go as we really did not feel very welcome On the way out of the door I tried one more last ditch effort to let him know I was interested it went like thisnnSo if I end up deciding on this suit would I be able to come back in early October to get everything goingnnBarry OctoberI may not be around You will probably have to go elsewhere nnThis was the story of our trip to Mens Apparel Clubthe underlying feeling that our business was not wanted I am really not sure why or how this happened some possibilities come to mindnnCommunication style differences causing some sort of misunderstandingnThe phone issue getting the idea in his head that we had no intention of buyingnUs being young and Barry not taking us seriouslynBarry possibly having previous bad experiences with shoppers like us leading to an unfair stereotypenSome other issue I have not thought of or did not realizennIts too bad we had this experience because the truth is This place has the best prices in town by farnnMy suit at Mens Apparel Club less than nMy suit at Mens Wearhouse nnSo in the end I do not doubt that this is a great place to buy a suit for some peopleit just was not for us based on our experience Maybe I caught Barry on an off day I am not sure Maybe Barry does not even realize the bad taste we left with I am now left in the odd position to thank Barry for all the great advice he gave me on buying a suit then scratch my head and ask him why he did not seem to want to sell me one
