You are their target customer - young and attractive. That's just wrong. Why would Sephora employees ignore YOU? You are their target customer – young and attractive. That’s just wrong.

The other half I've been fawned over. I don't know why there's a difference in treatment--same store, same kind of wardrobe("just left the office" look) and even sometimes the same employees! That said, I always bemoaned Knoxville retailers' complete lack of customer service. My mother would explain it by saying that so many of the employees were just college students and weren't being adequately trained but the longer I lived there, the more I saw that wasn't always the case. It happens because you have NO OTHER CHOICE. They'll roll out the red carpets for you when you shop in Dallas (highest number of stores per capita than anywhere else in North America) because they ALL know--down to the newbie teenage floor assistant--that if they don't treat you well, you'll walk right next door and spend your money there. Knoxville can't say that and they know they can't. They (retailers) behave accordingly. It's too bad, really. We let them get away with it too. I boycott Ann Taylor for this reason, but I doubt they are aware of that fact. :) /rant I myself have been ignored about the half the time I shop in Sephora. The other half I’ve been fawned over.
