Papaya Clothing review: Rude customer service 11

After returning my purchase, I did not receive a refund. I have submitted a fraud complaint with my credit card.

I did not receive a receipt, an invoice, or any other documentation for this order. It just suddently appeared on June 21, 2023. I returned it June 22, 2023 and have not heard from your company.

Today 1/5/19 I was at the papaya store at Wesley Chapel outlet in Florida and I ask for some help in assisting on what will they think that it will look good. This lady with long hair responded that she doesn't have time to assist me. So I ask if the older lady that work there is working today Ms. Mary. She responded that employee no longer work there and to get the cloth that am getting or if I'm just going to keep asking stupid question to leave the store. I requested to speak to the manager and she stated that she is the manager of the store. I ask her what is her name and she responded Caroline and ask for her last name she told me is not my business to know. I left the store with out buying absolutely nothing I will never buy or pass by that papaya ever again. Is mind blowing that their people with lack of professionalism and respect as manager in that papaya.

I had a very interesting experience at the papaya at Wesley Chapel Mall. Tampa Florida. Once I got there I started looking at cloths then this lovely older epmloyee Mary ask if i need any help in which I siad sure. The manager who name is Carroll reprimanded the employee and siad in spanish thinking I don't know Spanish stop wasting your time with that lady there is no cloth in here that will fit her plus she is old I don't know what she is doing shopping here. To which the employee lower her head. And told me sorry for the comment. So I responded to the manager in Spanish I need your name and corporate number. She just gave me her frist name and siad that I didn't needed to know here last name and corporate number I can get it on goggle. The employee kept saying sorry to me in which I told her that I feel sorry for her to be submitted to a tyrant like that. Then she direct herslf to the employee and started to be little her because of her age and how she hate working and dealing with older customers. So I left didn't bought anything but most say if this is the type of management they have there I don't see this company progressing or moving foward if not going out of businesses in a blink of an eye. I really wish that employee would demand for discrimination because she was totally descriminated and belittle afront of everyone in that store. In my case not buying nothing from that store and passing the word is better then enough.

I Just had a VERY BAD experience with Papaya clothing store at the Arlington Parks Mall in Arlington TX. I went in on a Saturday and purchased over $150 worth of clothes. When the cashier was ringing me up, she held up a pair of Khaki Pants and said that they could not be returned, it was a final sale. I figured this was because they were on a clearance rack. I was ok with this since I had already tried them on. However, since I was in the store for so long trying on clothes I had to go as I had another appointment so there was a pair of black pants that I did not try on, but thought they would fit and if they didn't I knew could return them within 14 days purchase for an exchange. They're return policy clearly states ( and I read it while paying for my clothes) that ALL items can be returned as long as the price tag is still on the item, the clothing didn't look dirty or worn and you have the receipt. Well, I had all that in check when I went to go return the black pants 3 day later because they were too short. I went back to the store to return them plus try on and purchase a few more articles of clothing. I had the bag with the pants, price tag still on and the receipt. Since I was going to try on some more clothing, I didn't want to do the return transaction until I was ready to check out so I left the bag with my pants and receipt with the girls at the cashiers counter and explained what I was doing. I thought this would be the right thing to do so I wasn't taking the bag in with me to try on some more clothing. I had barely gotten the door locked and hadn't even hung up the clothes in the dressing room when I get a knock on the door. When I opened the door there were TWO cashiers standing there to tell me that I couldn't not return the pants because they had a yellow highlighted mark on the price tag. I said to them that I was told that only the Khaki pants couldn't be returned. They said that the black ones couldn't either and didn't want to give me the benefit of the doubt. I don't recall if I saw that highlighted mark on the black pants' price tag or not as it would have had no meaning to me one way or another. But I have my suspicions (although no concrete proof) that when I gave the girl my bag with the pants to hold onto while I went to try on some more clothes, she very well may have grabbed one of the many highlighters from a jar located at the cashier's counter and marked the price tag with the highlighter marker while I was making my way to the fitting room. I say this because why did they feel the need to rush and interrupt my trying on clothes to tell me that and why did two cashiers come and tell me this. I thought that was extremely odd.

So then after getting out of the dressing room, I found an exact same pair of pants from the place where I got the ones from 3 days earlier (same sku#, price and all) the only difference was that there was no highlighted mark on the price tag. I asked the manager how come the pair I had had a mark on the price tag but the rest of the same kind of pants on that rack didn't and what was the difference. She said that my pair was older. REALLY? ARE YOU SERIOUS? I then told her that when I bought the pants I was not told I couldn't return them, just the Khaki ones. If I had been told that I would have never purchased them as I had not tried them on. She said that she believed I had been told that (in other words she was calling me a liar). I have never seen such horrible customer treatment. I filed a complaint with the Mall about the store and I also called Papaya (Cornerstone) corporate office and I kept getting the runaround by them. The first time I called the girl told me that everyone was out to lunch and to call back and ask for an Angie. Well, I did that and wouldn't you know it...Angie was not at her desk and I had to leave a message that I suspect will never be addressed. They keep this up I hope they go right out of business because that is what they totally deserve. Ridiculous!

The papaya in wheaton mall was horrible. Michelle/management employee and Yamileth were completely unperfessional. I had to drive all the way out of my distance becuase one of the employees forgot to take my sensor off my shoes. And they were not trying to compromise with a discount or anything becuase of my inconvenience. They gave me sarcasimn and a hard time with a lot of arrogant and nonchalant attitude.

I have recently shopped online and they forgot to put 2 of my shirts in my bag and I've tried calling the customer service number but none of them work! The customer service number is wrong!

papaya clothing use very cheap material. after couple of washing it rips off. Also papaya has the worst return policy.
I never want to shop at Papaya. The worst shopping experience ever.

I absolutely agree with the customer service being terrible at Papaya Clothing. I frequent the store often and has made several purchases at the store. I purchased a skirt and they forgot to take the sensor off.
After about two months I decided to wear the skirt and saw the sensor was still attached to the skirt. I entered the store with the skirt in a bag (sales girl saw me enter the store). She took the skirt from me and said she will bring it up to the desk so they can take the sensor off. She asked me for the receipt, which I did not have, due to the fact I already through the receipt away. The sales girl stated they would not take off the sensor and falsely accusing me of stealing the skirt. I asked to speak with the manager and the manager was very nasty and said the same thing. Prior to me finding out they were not going to take the sensor off, I was trying on new clothes and I needed another size. I was going out of the dressing room to find a new size, when I was stopped by the sales clerk. Once again, the sales clerk was making an assumption that I was going to leave the store with the shirt on. At that point I got so disgusted with the store. I went over the manager again, and asked her to take the sensor off and she called the mall security. About 4 security guards came in the store (manager called and said I was disturbing the store) and questioned me as to what was going on. Apparently the security guards believed me and told me to take the skirt with the sensor. I received the number to the corporate office and they advised me to call the corporate office and explain the situation. I will never shop in their stores again. The sales clerks are very rude and immature and do not know anything about handling any type of situation.

Here is the Papaya corporate number 323.724.3600 . The company is under cornerstone apparel inc.

Well i was shopping online and they charged my husband credit card 3 times yes 3 times and now i dedicate my life on calling there line but theres no way they never anwer your calls i hate papaya clothing !1 it sucks girls i say we take it to aeropostle lol well just wanted you youngs one to know well byeeeeeeee and remember dont shop at papapys clothing

Unfortunately, Papaya does not pay on commission, and hires only young women over 18 but always under 25. They work only part-time and don't receive extensive training on customer service, since it's only a part-time job and permanent, most girls at these type of clothing stores don't work longer than 3 months, but those that do learn through experience of how to be a better worker. In any retail-store there will always be disgruntled customers, it's a given since in society in general there are always disgruntled people. I see it this way, EVERYONE makes mistakes, and if its your job, it might cost you, but that all depends what kind of mistake you make. A mistake like, "oops I accidentally did not write down the name on this customer's hold because either there is a long line of people and I'm stressed out, or I'm paid minimum wage with no commission but am required to do the work of five people so I sometimes make little mistakes...etc." A customer always reflects the true nature of the personality; it's psychological. How we treat the "hired-help" reflects who we are as human beings. If we can't forgive an inexperienced girl for making a mistake, and blow up the whole episode into a big deal, when reality it's not, what does that say about who we are? Honestly, so what they put your hold back, holds are a privilege, not a customer "right", it's a free service that you should appreciate, not demand. Other people would laugh it off and not even take it seriously. You are spoiled living in the U.S, go visit some other countries; you will learn that the U.S has taken this concept of "the customer is always right" to an extreme.
