Brookstone Complaint - Put a sign outside your entrance - Rude treatment by store associate

Rude treatment by store associate - Complaint
Review by rjkvak on 2012-01-16
MONROEVILLE, PENNSYLVANIA -- Went shopping in the Brookstone store at Monroeville mall, Pa on December 11, 2011. I was with my wife and son looking to purchase a recliner chair that massages and heats. When my 15 year old son sat in the chair a store associate very rudely told my son to get out of the chair because he was not eighteen. I emailed Brookstone and it took some time to get a response asking me to call them. I called their CS and the 'rep' told me I would most likely get a gift card, etc for the rude treatment. That was several weeks ago. Nothing came by mail. Today, Jan 16, 2012 I received a call from Brookstone corporate and the lady I spoke to claimed it was a liability issue and she would call the store to tell them they should not be so nasty with good customers like me. I asked where is my giftcard and she said she knew nothing of me being compensation for the rude, indignant treatment. I was 'blown off'. I've spent plenty of money with Brookstone since the 1980's and I will never do any business with this company again. Very POOR customer service/satisfaction!!!

They said "most likely." It still leaves room for a no. It sounds like the CSR you spoke with first had no authority to tell you what you would get for your treatment.

My Brookstone has signs, they're right next to the chairs

Thanks for clarifying, Jay. I stand by my statement

I need to get out more. I haven't even SEEN a Brookstone store since the 90's...

Telling you that you "may get" a gift card is weak, very weak. Why would a CSR do that if they didn't know?
