Preferred solution: I want the manager fired from her position for her own professionalism embarrassing me and my friend in front of customers and I want an apology as she's leaving the store I want an apology that's all I didn't deserve that

User's recommendation: I wouldn't go in that store with that lady working again and she's awful all she had to do was look at the cameras and not say something that wasn't true my friend was going to buy that purse what this whole thing was about is because she doesn't like me because I'm not able to be like her I'm homeless

Employee stole my cash HELP

Employee rang me up for $85 shoes I did not have nor did I ask for.. when I confronted her about it very nicely over the phone she told me that it was impossible if something is on my receipt it's because I bought it.

She argued with me about it I clearly told her this all can be solved by looking at the cameras and seeing that I did not conceal any shoes during checkout. No shoes were put in my bag. She then got very hostile and nasty and told me that she's not running the cameras because she's not a thief and asking why would she want my money. So she pretty much told on herself but now she's refusing to look at the cameras and she's refusing to help me.

She won't tell me her name and when I asked to speak to the manager she told me that she was the manager I believe that she is lying about her being the manager. She's the only one that I can talk to and seems to be the only one at the store. When I asked for the district manager's name she would not give me that either.

I have four children and I was rushing to leave the store it was late I should have checked my receipt but I was trusting the employee. Please help me get my money back.

All they have to do is pull the cameras and see that I did not purchase the shoes

I have the receipt I will be keeping it.

(She put in the wrong phone number as well my name on the receipt shows Erica Thaxton whoever that is and she deleted the phone number on there as well. The employees name on the receipt says "SLW"

The cashier is an African American woman with glasses..

Platos took my points/money

I went to exchange an item in which I used some of my points for and was denied my points being transferred to the exchange causing me to have to spend 14 dollars MORE than the even exchange?? I believe my points should be reimbursed or the 10 dollars. Also, the 'dyed blonde' chick needs to be educated on customer service being she applied for a customer service position yet made me very uncomfortable upon the exchange. Also, most of the inventory is marked up used shien clothing.

Platos Closet - Lost items
Personnel gave my items to the wrong person. They didnt have an explanation and made me wait for 1hour just to say they couldnt do anything. This is not fair and I want my clothes back or money compensation in return of my time and bad service.

They took none of my clothes that are all in good condition

I have a ton of clothes that I came in to sell and they said two hours later that they all had wear and tear and couldnt take anything. They are all in good condition and it looks like they didnt even open the bag because its still tied up. Im very annoyed I wasted my time and would like to speak to someone about it.

Lazy employees who lie to customers

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
After watching my bags be passed over while other several customers were checked in and out!! If you bring in large bags , 2 employees in particular, will treat you like you have disserviced them!! Then they laugh, play, and eat snacks, while your bags sit there and you wait!! Then lie and say they stopped dropped offs at 2:30, but I've been sitting watch them take drop offs!! How unprofessional!!

They wasted my time, people are rude, all around worst store I have ever been in.

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Battle Creek MI.

I had called ahead of time and talked to a manager I guess. I asked to speak with one but they refused to tell me her name.

She was short and Asian. Anyway .. I walked in store after calling to see if they were buying. Well I was immediately turned away at the desk by the same manager I think I talked to.

I had three pairs of elite Jordans 23 brand and a pair of sister Nikes that were almost brand new my daughter didn't like. It was over $500 worth of shoes that I was asking maybe 50 or $60 for. They didn't even look at him they were clean individually bagged and clear Ziploc baggies with drying salts and fabric softener sheets to make sure they smell good I had even clean them with leather cleaner and disinfectant brand new shoelaces and head the ice repolished. I have put these shoes online on Poshmark and for the elite Jordans got $150 a pier and for the sister Nikes $60.

So though them turning away was a blessing to me it also gave me a lesson in why I will never use Plato's closet again. All of my friends say it's a great place but after this monstrosity this disrespect their customer service sucks and I will never go back. Any chance I get I'm going to let everybody know how bad the store is. I live in Battle Creek Michigan the store is on Beckley and please do not use them they are the worst people I've ever met.

There were no customers in the store at the time I walked in there was plenty of time during the day and I had called ahead of time to see if it was okay just to get turned away as I walked in the door.

I pray your business goes out of business doing people like that. God bless and good luck

The worker in the round rock,Tx location was rude to me. I didnt like the amount they were giving me for new items. Then she told me that if I didnt like the price that I did not have to come back. She would not tell me her name either. This is the second time she has been rude to me. Service was awful. I kindly took my items back. Brand new GAP clothing items on Friday 1/13/2023 at 4:26 pm

I bought a pair of jeans 6/28/2022 not noticing *** in them

I planned to wear these jeans to work on 6/29/2022 and immediately noticed *** in the right side of the jeans. I did not try them on in store, and removed the tag (removing the tag did not cause the hole) and I need to return them immediately considering the hole was not my cause. I am very disappointed I have never had this issue before and shop at platos closet often.

Visited Humble Tx Store very bad Experience

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

I went yesterday to take some of my Familys yrly spring Cleaning in to Sell. We have 5 Grandkids ages 13 to 23.

So you can imGine the amount of clothes i had in my car all sizes from juniors 2 to 14. LADIES. I LEFT 4 crates filled with tops, shorts, jeans, tanks, dresses, shoes. All in very good shape i washed every item.

Folded it with care also keeping items in order such as tops together, dresses together, jeans all together, and u get the idea. Brands were American Eagle, abercrombie, pink, victoria secret, refugee, levis, all being worn by our kids, so imagine my surprise after meeting with Ethan at the Humble Tx store being told that not one item had beenaccepted except a hat for 3.00. I was shocked i walked thru the isles and lookedat the clothing the store had in its inventory. I saw jeans with holes in crotches being sold also stains on most of the shirts.

Very little items in tops of color. All Black almost. The oother people i did see meeting w the rep ethan all had most of their items purchased. Now i am happy to provide you with puctures of a few of my crates items but i cannot believe the crap they chose over my grandkids clothes.

Many hundreds of dollars were spent and these are not cheap outdated clothes. What the heck is happening with your intake.

Do you prefer the person dropping the clothing off to be young people because im not understanding what happened today. Could someone ease explain how this could happen?

Respectfully,

Toni Dawson

The have very low standards of customer service, their employees lack professionalism which seems to be a trend in all of their locations and across states, while clearly practicing discrimination towards the seller.

Customer dissatisfaction

I had a horrible experience with the management and owner at Platos Vaughan and Brampton location (the same owner at both location). Also, not sure if anyone is aware that the points that are collected from our every purchase can be taken away by the owner at anytime with no reason given. I am a single Mom and I would advise all customers who are supporting those stores to first read all the negative reviews on Google regarding those locations before shopping and supporting those stores. My family and I will never shop there again.

User's recommendation: Unless owners change, I would strongly advise to not to shop or support Vaughan and Brampton Platos Closet.

Unhappy

I purchased a item there today at the Louisville location on Outerloop and it was the wrong size so I took it back to either exchange it for something else so the cashier says all sales are final and I said well the receipt says 7 days with tags that you can exchange or get store credit so she continues to be unprofessional and says all sales are final im sorry!so I dont have money to just throw away I just wanted to exchange it for something else I have shopped at Platos closet for years and NEVER had I ever had a experience like this one , I will not shop there anymore.

Customer complaint

The store that's on Two Notch Road sounds more like a club atmosphere. Me and my husband has shopped with Platos for a very long time before they moved to their new location, but now it seems like you're entering a strip club because of the obnoxious music that their playing. I know that Alot of young people shop as well work in there but the music shouldn't be catered to the young crowd because not All young adults listen to that music and the loudness of it. Please Control The music and the loudness! Thank u
