I totally agree! I watched it this weekend for the first time and was apalled when the saleslady was actually MAD that a customer returned just to try on a dress again, but did not want to buy it just yet. She referred to this as a huge waste of her time, and continued to pressure her for the entire time she was there! It also makes me sad that they have no respect for people whose budget is under $5000!!!

Well I thought that people shopped all over without buying a dress. Shouldn't you check stores out? I have gone to a few and not seen anything I liked. At two stores I left my info and decided to come back again and give dresses a second chance, but I NEVER thought you just went to one store and left with something!

i know kleinfeld's is supposed to be "the" bridal salon in ny..but i had a bad experience too.  when i called to make the appointment the receptionist was telling me about the $60 deposit if you were a no-show (which i had no idea about, this was my first dress shop stop).  after i gave her my credit card numbers and then she was like fast talking all about like 60% something something..until i started panicking and asking if she was charging something to my card right now??  (i was really confused and she was talking super fast) and i foud out that it's 60% down if you purchase a gown..but in my head i was thinking that i haven't even stepped foot into the store yet.  on the day of, i arrived and it was PACKED (it was a weekday after work hours, around 6:15 i think).  i waited for almost 45 minutes past my appointment time and no one apologized to me for making me wait.  when i went into the fitting room, i told her i wasn't sure what i wanted, but i wanted to look at anything they had that wasn't strapless (or strapless w/ straps) or low-cut.  she admitted they didn't have much that wasn't strapless since that's the "in" style now.  and she just stopped there.  i was like..uhm..so you have nothing?  should i just leave right now?  and she says she'll go take a look.  she brings back 3 gowns and says it's all they have and i hated all three.  i didn't even want to put it on.  so i'm telling my friend now that i'm just ready to leave now.  then the lady goes..well..there is this one other one...and she comes back with this beautiful gown that she hadn't bothered bringing out (probably because she thought it was out of my price range)..i tried it on and oohed and ahhed over it.  but it still wasn't exactly what i want.  so she went back and got ANOTHER one with cap sleeves and this one was practically perfect.  i'm wondering why she didn't bring these out earlier??  in the end, i didn't buy it because it still wasn't exactly what i wanted but more because i was upset by their service in general.  anyway..sorry for the long post but just wanted to share my experience there...(btw, the consultant's name was something like desire?  or destiny?)
