I don't understand a business model that has you walking away without a purchase. I'm a man, though, so not paraded through this ring of Dante's retail inferno.
That being said, I'm adding "Jessica, that lying bitch" to the growing list of catch phrases for the Sudana Krasniqi merch line. Maybe you print this one on a line of jeans? Sorry, too soon?
Also, there should be a law that a grown adult should not need to share a mirror with teenagers when trying on clothes. Especially those teenagers who are wearing acid wash jeans on purpose...
I once walked out into Aritzia communal mirror hell wearing a pair of wide-leg pants made of some sort of viscose shit that I immediately realized showed every lump & bump on my ass and thighs. As I choked back vomit, the salesgirl appeared right on cue: “They look SO GOOD!!!”
I was close to 30 years old by now and as a Canadian, well accustomed to this dance. I just looked at her and said “…They really don’t.”
This reminds me of the open Daffy’s dressing room!!! Remember those mosh pits of torture?! No stalls, just a big ass communal room with many mirrors. As a girl, dragged there with older relatives, i was scared of adolescence because of all the old ladies with knee-knocker titties in the Daffy’s dressing room lol.
They closed maybe a decade ago. Sounds like Aritzia picked up the very ball that they dropped!
The text response: “No.” 🤣🤣🤣
people think anything they say could ever hurt my feelings - jokes on them I grew up with 3 sisters!
It’s like prison Gen Pop but for competing females. What a horrible place.
Aritzia looks like it’s just another place for people that look like they need a sandwich.
Good piece regardless. Takes balls to split your inner dialogue wide open like this.

She looked me in the eyes and said they looked good! More than once! Girl bye.
Always be closing.

And forget to return the sizes that don’t fit. Like an adult. 😆 fantastic.
Holy damn, fitting rooms suck without the communal mirror. Yikes thanks for the warning. . 💕💕💕
haha, thank you Holly 🤍

Omfg. Who do they think this is helping? Who!
That’s some good writing
I was triggered
Brilliant! Equal parts hysterical and painfully relatable. Good luck out there!
Thanks Nicole, I’ll need it lol
HAHA I HAD THIS EXACT EXPERIENCE LAST WEEK oh my goddddd the absolute worst. i hate when the associates pretend we are best friends
IF I WANTED A BEST FRIEND I WOULD HAVE JOINED A SORORITY!
I WANT TO SHOP FOR JEANS IN PEACE!
i put on my best Balkan glare when i go in these days
I need to channel my mother. She would have none of this.
How truly loathsome and customer unfriendly.
Steal the clothes and try them on at home
I am NOT a clothes shopper.
On one of my visits back to Germany, many years ago, my mother decided my wardrobe needed an upgrade.
We went to a store with a sales assistant.
Between her and my mother, they found a boatload of clothes totally fetching on me.
Once back home, I wore each piece exactly once.
None were ME.
Never again have I gone shopping where someone talks at me.
It rarely, if ever, works. Thank you for reading Susanne.
Good article. There r other stores.
Dont forget I SAID THE JEANS LOOK GOOD AND IM RIGHT ❤️❤️❤️
And this is why you’re getting a Mother’s Day gift and my sister is not :)
I had never heard of Aritzia until today but it sounds like hell.
Your sister was right. The denim Gods were having a day off.
lol thanks

I had a good laugh at “Tittier.” My best shopping experience at aritzia after having a few drinks. I hope that helps 💗
