Burlington Coat Factory Direct Tara manager at 1541 Hwy 20 McDonough, GA

I returned an item with the receipt and received a discounted price. Tara, the manager, stated it was returned at a discount because it's "like buying a car..it depreciates". The item returned was an unused candle. She then proceeded to say the candle gets dirty and dusty and loses value so it could not be returned at full price. I re-purchased the exact same candle I returned and was charged full price. When I asked about the price, Tara stated she has a right not to approve returns which was a defensive response. Being in retail management for 10+ years, I understand giving customers the discount price without a receipt or not approving a return if an item is damaged or if it's not an item the store carries but Tara's response was defensive, unprofessional and disengaging. She has poor customer service, a nonchalant attitude and poorly represents the store.

Desired outcome: I'd like to communicate with someone professionally who cares about the company, the customers and has the ability to properly handle conflict resolution.

Burlington Coat Factory Direct Manager

The manager Liz at store 1270 , who refuses to provide her full name and last name, was very rude and disrespectful toward me when I calmly asked why she closed the fitting room early at 8:45pm when the store is open until 10pm. I had a thousand dollars worth of clothes to buy and wanted to try them on. She refused to respond to me and did not care about the customer or about making a large sale. I left all of my items in a cart and walked out the store I will never come here again unless I speak with corporate and a positive change is made. This is the worst customer service treatment I have ever experienced

Desired outcome: Corporate contact me

Burlington Coat Factory Direct employee

I was at Burlington in Maplewood,MN while shopping for toys we found a ride on train toy I gave it to my daughter. She was touching it and a employee came and took it from her and set it up on a tall shelf. I went and got the train and gave it to my 1 year old agian and this employee starts yelling at me saying "she cant touch that toy, she cant have that toy in the asile, you need to put that toy away" so I asked her "why cant she touch it". We walked away and she decides to follow us screaming "are you going to buy that?" repeatedly. Feeling like I was being harassed I asked to speak to a manager. This employee didnt have a name tag and the manager refuses to give me her name also. I felt like I was being harassed at this store, I shouldnt have to tell a floor employee what I'm planing to purchase or shouldnt have to explain to anyone why my one year old is walking around with a toy. I spend alot of money at burlington and I'm really disappointed in the kind of people you guys hire.

Desired outcome: Employee shouldn't work on the floors with customers.

Burlington Coat Factory Direct Being harassed by workers due to stereotype.

I was singled out from other customers and followed around the store by security and every employee except for one cashier. I have always paid for merchandise while at store 00213, but tonight 8/5/22 I had the worst experience I have ever had, and because they wrongly harassed me another customer stole a large amount of merchandise. I won't ever return to this store because it was clear the night crew is a racist bunch except for one cashier. They didn't harass the Mexican or white customers and the customer who stole was white. I enclosed my receipt to prove I was at that store and paid for my merchandise.

Desired outcome: I want the crew disciplined or some kind of apology for such treatment

Burlington Coat Factory Direct Closed?

I'm at the new location at 270 and w Florissant rd st.louis mo.

It's 5:57 I try going inside and doors are locked.

Woman come with keys and says they are closed. I ask why. She stated they had no power.. lol even though all the lights were on inside the store. As I was walking to my car. A woman comes out with a cart full of luggage..

Now how is it they can check out that woman's luggage with the power off?

I'm sick of lazy employees making executive decisions and closing early..

Hours of operation on the doors need to change hours to

Open when we are ready. And closed when we want to go home..

And open mid afternoons closed extra early on the weekends.

While sitting in the parking lot reporting this 5cars of families have tried to shop and can't.

Good thing Walmart is next door 8 guess .

Desired outcome: Stop closing before hours stated on the doors.. The cars appear to be employee rides they been sitting here a while.

Burlington Coat Factory Direct Customer service

Two different incidents, two different stores, same complaint.

The first incident was at the Sarasota Florida store near Bee Ridge and Cattlemen, December 2021. I do not remember the exact date. We were out shopping for Christmas vacation and needed warm clothes for the mountains. It was late and the store was closing in one hour. A lady who I would assume was the manager spoke over the intercom " The store will be closing at 11:00 p.m. , bring your purchases to the front of the store. We close and lock the doors at 11 and will not be ringing up merchandise at 11." One hour before closing they wanted us to bring our stuff to the front and check out. The announcement was repeated a couple minutes later.

The second incident just happened this week in Port Charlotte, Florida. The same scenario, one hour before closing we were told to bring our merchandise to the front to check out. I understand a kind reminder of the store closing soon, but the announcement actually states "Bring your purchases up at this time to check out." One hour before closing is a bit much. Most, not all of the employees could use some lessons in customer service, they talk amongst themselves and show the customers very little attention.

I like the variety of merchandise, but the customer service needs a lot of work.

I am a current employee soon to be ex employee. I’m leaving due to defamation of character, my mger having favoritism and the fact that what I said about what happened to me was basically for nothing. This other person who is spreading rumors calling me slow, clingy, and saying I would not have my job if it weren’t for her. I went to HR hopefully that does something because this is a toxic working environment.

Burlington Coat Factory Direct Retail Manager "Erline"- 7475 W Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32818

I am both completely flustered and relieved after my experience yesterday & today at your store listed in the title. Not the store itself, but the manager at the Burlington, 7475 W Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32818 location. Her name is "Erline" (pronounced "ER-LYNE"). I took my granddaughter there about 2pm EST yesterday to get a dress/shoes for the Broadway theatre production of "Frozen". It was her first, and I wanted her to go in style! I found the perfect dress and several pairs of shoes. We checked out no problems. We left, had a late lunch, got our hair done and once home we noticed we didn't have the bags! I freaked out & called immediately. The manager rushed me, asking that I call back BC she was helping a customer. We were driving back to the store while I was on the phone. I called back, explaining that we had to have left the bags in the buggy, inside the store because I did not take the buggy outside/over the curb- I would have remembered that. I asked if anyone had turned anything in, she said no, without even checking herself, I could hear her in the background talking to someone and she just said, "no one returned anything". I asked her if any employee had been in the parking lot and she just kept being super rude and short, she even said "Ma'am, it's not my job to check the parking lot"! In a very nasty tone. I was shocked at her demeanor. She said, "You need to come back and look through the parking lot for yourself". Which I never asked her to do this, I'd only asked if employees ever do go out to collect buggies. I finally hung up when we pulled into the parking lot. We checked (Even though I knew I hadn't taken the buggy outside) went inside and checked all the buggies that were at the entrance, but nothing was there.

"Erlene", was standing just inside the door at the cash registers and I asked for her, and she told me that she was the one I spoke to. I again asked her if anyone could have turned something in and could she maybe check once more, since I was there. To which she got even nastier, looking at me like I was an idiot, talking very loudly and bobbing her head from side to side in a very aggressive manner, telling me that she had already checked, and nothing was back behind the cash registers. To my granddaughter's disappointment, I said we should quickly go look and see if we could find something else. (By this time it was 6 pm and the show started at 7:30) We found the exact same dress, in her size (There were NO OTHER DRESSES LIKE THIS IN THIS SIZE, because we checked when shopping the first time) and right there on the scarce rack was the same exact dress. I MEAN LITERALLY The same dress. It was missing the security tag that was attached to the top back inside neck area! So, grabbing another quick pair of shoes we rushed to the check out. I showed the manager the dress and told her that this WAS the original dress I purchased as it was the only one in that size and the security tag was missing- She got on the register and asked what time I made the purchase. I told her, and that I had paid with my Burlington Credit Card. She did something on the register/computer then told me, "Maa'm, there were no transactions today on this card"! I WAS FLABBERGASTED! I SAID BS! I tried to pull it up on the Burington/Synchronicity app on my phone but had no signal. She then told me the only other thing that could be done was that in the morning (this morning) she would check the security camera footage and see if she could see anything. Which I thought was weird, if someone grabbed it, the camera wouldn't be able to tell who it was, IF IT WAS A CUSTOMER...My thoughts were, someone turned it in, and because the receipt was in the bag, "they" (I'd watch the cameras for that day, because I bet it was Ms. Erline) took the receipt, did a refund, pocketed the cash and returned the merch to the shelf. FRAUD. I cannot prove this of course, but I have to finish my story so you'll understand how I came to this conclusion. forward to this morning...I called the store about 11am EST today and spoke with a different manager named "Elizabeth". She was very friendly and kind. I started explaining and she interrupted to tell me, "yes I remember hearing about this yesterday. We have your bags"! She told me that someone turned them in yesterday and that the bags had been back by the registers the entire time! I don't know WHAT happened exactly, but it sure sounded fishy to me. I went to the store, refunded the dress that was in the bag (Thinking back, I probably should have checked it to see what size it was, BC as I mentioned before we looked hard and only saw one size 12 in that dress, but hindsight) and collected the rest of the purchase. Either there were some dirty deeds that went down, and Erline knew what the camera would show, and they put the bag where it could be found after the confrontation yesterday, OR she was just being nasty and didn't bother to check at all (WHY?) or purposely went out of her way to make a scene in front of others for whatever reason. It is apparent that one or the other happened. I am so thankful that I did go back and check to see if they had another dress she could wear, or we wouldn't have found the "OTHER" (same dress). I would hope that you will allow your Loss prevention manager to check the security footage to see what actually happened. I was going to ask what "She" found or didn't find on the cameras, but she did not show her face today when I was there. So she knows she was in the wrong, no matter which of these scenarios took place. Having fraudsters in your employ, is not a good look for any company and it just all went down way too strangely that there's not more involved. I hope that you investigate this- I am almost certain you will see some shady stuff. At least I got my stuff back now. But she made a perfect day with my granddaughter severely stressful all because she was frauding you, or too lazy to check and see that my bags were there, just where they were supposed to be.

Desired outcome: I feel that I deserve a personal & written apology for her lack of assistance and nasty attitude. She was A. Wrong, & too lazy to check to see if my bags were by the registers or B. She was involved in something shady.

I have to say the employee and manager are very rude at Burlington as I experienced. They did something wrong but never admitted it. They returned the wrong item but blame on me said I can't return the item in my bag (this is rude! One guy even said I could steal the item, $13.99 item!). They shut down the fitting room and I can't try them on. That's why I got three different size but can't return just because the cashier so dumb who returned wrong item. Really a messy!

Burlington Coat Factory Direct Terrible customer service

Bought 2 luggage's today during my lunch time. I noticed it said t came with two luggage's on the tag. When I was ready to pay I noticed it didn't com with the luggage that was on the sticker, I asked the cashier to ask for help. No one ever came. I ran to bring another one. That one didn't have one either. I asked to speak to a manager or get a discount. No one was willing to help. I had to worst experience.

Desired outcome: I would like an apology and a coupon because I feel like I over paid for something that was missing.

Burlington Coat Factory Direct Service

I went for the first time to a Burlington in Pearland, tx. We had a long time waiting and the line was excessively backed up. I asked for more checkers and we got 2 more. I could say it was racist, me being a minority and taller than the man. He was white. But I will not take that route, it is childish. People are people and one is as good as another. I asked "don't you have anymore checkers, he said he had everyone in the store, that could check. Then he proceeded to tell me, they were so busy, because is there was so much money floating around from the government. Well excuse me, but I did not go to your store for a political less, I just wwanted myseld and the folks behind treated nice and hurriedly checked out. I sail in this big store you only have 6 checkers, and he said that's right. I will tell you, he needs people skill and not to be so rude. Well, that first experiend did not leave a good taste in my mouth.

Desired outcome: talk and teach this mgs or whatever people skills, and manners and don't raise your voice wheneveryour talking to me.

They can in fact sue you since you have no proof of discrimination. Sounds to me like it is good they did not hire you. If you did something wrong and they had to tell you, you would be playing the race card.

With your poor English, you obviously misunderstood her. This has nothing to do with you being black. This has to do with you not having a high school diploma. Why I doubt you passed the second grade. So stop claiming discrimination. It is a lot easier to claim discrimination than to admit you were unqualified. Cowardly though.

Purchased a package of underwear 2 days ago. Tried to return the UNOPENED item & was told it can't be returned. It's UNOPENED! What a rip off. Obviously, will not be going back to Burlington in any manner especially after reading the other complaints. It's sad that companies like this still exist.

Burlington Coat Factory Direct Your manger Lori McPherson 5330 NE Chouteau Trfy, Kansas City, MO 64119

I was working there until today Friday oct.8th 2021. I called to let everyone know that I started a 2nd job. She called me 12:53pm to talk to me. I told her I needed the 2nd job so I could make more money to help my husband support our family. Instead of working with me on hours around my new job (which I make way more money at) she pretty much degraded me. Insisting on telling me it was my fault the store had to close down early. Mind you I was not scheduled to close the store at 11:00pm. I was only scheduled for 9:30 pm. She told me I needed to get ahold of my new job and tell them I need to work around her hours she gave me. Now why would I do that when I make more at my other job. I wanted to keep my job at Burlington but, not anymore. She had no right to say that to me. Especially when I'm not the only one to have a 2nd job. She under staffs all the time unless she is the one closing. Then she makes sure she has enough employees to cover her. She plays favortism with employees also. Letting the ones she likes get by with about anything. Like a person named Sodmn wear a crop top to work. which is a no no. But she allowed it instead of sending him/her home.

Burlington Coat Factory Direct request refund

I tried to return a jacket I had purchased from Burlington Coat factory in Springfield, Il. I brought the receipt and was within the 30 day return time frame but was told the tags needed to be on the merchandise. There is no mention of this in their turn policy other than "original condition" This makes no sense! Even though I never wore or washed the jacket the store manager said she cant return it without the original tags on it. The return policy is very misleading! There is no mention of having the original tags still being on the merchandise. Who buys cloths and keeps the original tags on it for 30 days? They might as well be honest and tell customers the truth that if they purchase something there is no return policy, but they have to have a sham of a return policy by law. I will never shop in your store ever again.

Desired outcome: Save other customers from a sham of a return policy.
