点评:The JF has two stores side-by-side, and I've always preferred the one to the left (if you have your back to the beach). It has more all-cotton things. Anyway, I was in the store today (1/10/25) around 1/1:30 and it was not busy at all. I saw a scarf/sarong tied on a bust form and asked the saleswoman if she had any more in that color. She acted like I was really putting her out. She started rummaging in a drawer, not able to find one, then stepped away for a minute or so, leaving the drawer open. I started looking in the drawer myself (trying to help her!) and she came back and said VERY sharply, "You are NOT to touch those!" I almost walked out right then and there! Turned out she didn't have any more, so I asked if I could try on the one on the display. She very grudgingly said ok. Ultimately I chose another color of the sarong, so when I went to pay for it, I thanked her for letting me try the display one and passed it back to her. She practically threw it down on the counter with a really pissed look on her face. I don't think I'll return here. Interestingly enough, the staff at their sister store, The Lazy Lizard, are not as nice or English-fluent as THEY used to be, either. I've worked retail and I know it's not easy, so I really try to be nice and respectful -- and maybe the JF saleswoman was having a terrible day -- but geez.
翻译:JF 有两家并排的商店,我一直更喜欢左边的那家(如果你背对着海滩的话)。那里有更多纯棉的东西。无论如何,我今天(2025 年 1 月 10 日)大约 1:30 去了商店,那里一点也不忙。我看到一条围巾/纱笼系在一个半身模特身上,就问女售货员她是否还有这种颜色的。她表现得好像我真的在惹恼她。她开始在抽屉里翻找,没找到,然后走了一分钟左右,抽屉开着。我开始自己在抽屉里找(试图帮助她!),她回来非常严厉地说:“你不许碰那些!”我差点就当场走了!结果她没有了,所以我问我是否可以试穿展示的那件。她非常不情愿地答应了。最后我选择了另一种颜色的纱笼,所以当我去付款时,我感谢她让我试穿展示的那条,然后把纱笼还给了她。她几乎是一脸生气地把它扔在柜台上。我想我不会再来这里了。有趣的是,他们姐妹店 The Lazy Lizard 的员工也不像以前那么友好或说英语了。我从事过零售业,我知道这并不容易,所以我真的试着表现得友好和尊重——也许 JF 的女售货员那天心情很糟糕——但是天哪。
