点评:This shopping center is very nice. We love the Christmas Mouse!
Unfortunately we had a horrible situation with the owner of Elegantz today. I have shopped at this store several times in the past and have always enjoyed browsing. Unfortunately, after my experience today, I won’t be returning.
I spent about 45 minutes shopping, trying on clothes, and had roughly $235 worth of items in my hands ready to purchase. While I had been working with a very pleasant female associate the entire time, a man who I found out was an owner came in and engaged a customer in a loud conversation about tariffs and taxes while standing in the middle of the store.
As I waited in line, he noticed my expression and I calmly said, “You don’t want to talk with me about tariffs.” Rather than dropping the topic, he doubled down, continuing to debate. When I finally shared my perspective, he dismissed me with, “I’m a businessman, I know about these things,” in a very condescending tone and shaking his head. I replied, “I’m a businesswoman and I know about these things,” and politely asked him to stop. He refused and kept lecturing me with his comments as I put my items away and walked out the door.
I have never experienced such unprofessional, misogynistic behavior in a retail store. A shop should be a welcoming, neutral place, not a platform for an owner to lecture paying customers on politics and economics. Sadly, after years of shopping here, I will not be back and I think women should be aware of how dismissive and disrespectful he was.

很遗憾,今天我们和 Elegantz 的老板发生了一件很糟糕的事。我以前在这家店买过几次东西,一直很喜欢逛逛。可惜的是,经历了今天的经历,我以后不会再来了。
我花了大约 45 分钟逛街、试衣服,手里拿着大约价值 235 美元的商品准备购买。虽然我一直和一位非常友善的女店员打交道,但一位男士(我后来才知道是店主)走了进来,站在店中央和一位顾客大声讨论关税和税费。
排队的时候,他注意到我的表情,我平静地说:“你不想跟我谈关税。” 他非但没有放弃,反而继续争论。当我终于说出我的观点时,他却用一种非常傲慢的语气摇了摇头,打断了我:“我是个商人,我知道这些事。”我回答说:“我是个女商人,我知道这些事。” 然后礼貌地请他别再这样了。他拒绝了,反而在我收拾好东西走出门时,不停地用他的评论教训我。
我从未在零售店里遇到过如此不专业、歧视女性的行为。商店应该是一个热情友好、中立的地方,而不是店主向付费顾客讲政治和经济的平台。可惜的是,在这里购物多年后,我不会再来了,我认为女性应该意识到他是多么的轻蔑和无礼。
