Believe me, I have had my own run ins with not so friendly sales associates too. I think it's safe to say we all have!
But another thing that gets me is a good return policy! I know, it's probably the last thing on your mind when purchasing, but it's always a handy thing to have in your back pocket when something doesn't fit right or if damaged. I for one, need to know what stores have good return policies, 1. because I like to know & 2. because then I can help my clients any way I can!
And I'm always so surprised when a friend thinks they can't return an item or items to a certain store, because they think that every store has the return policy of Forever 21, Thankfully not every store has that return policy. Do your research. It's super easy now that we have smartphones attached to our hips practically! It's super easy to find out. And that info is on there for your benefit, so that if something like a fit issue or you don't like the coloring, you won't feel gipped out of your money.
I have a list of the places that have great customer service & return policies:
