Are they always totally uptight @Blums?

I just went to Blums for the first time today because I was looking for a strapless bra to go with a dress that I'm wearing for a wedding. The didn't have my size so I didn't get a bra.

On the way out I noticed their huge bathing suit collection. I brought a ton of suits into the trying on room with me and got YELLED at because I dropped a bikini bottom on the floor!

I was like WOAH, nice tone lady. Not the way for me to give you ANY respect! What am I 12???

Honestly, I was so against even buying something but I found 2 great suits. I've never been spoken to like that while shopping and I was really taken back.

I've had great experiences there. My last time there I must've been there for an hour trying stuff on. I had to bring my son, who was 6 weeks old and cranky. I desperately needed a nursing bra for his baptism. I fed him twice and changed his diaper, all while in the dressing room. Chat Icon

YES! very uptight. They have always been. They stalk you in there. I went for a bra for my wedding dress and the lady wanted to come in the dressing room with me, I told her I was fine and closed the curtain. The minute I took my top off she flipped the curtain open to "help" me put the bra on. I once again told her I was fine and asked if she could leave, she said it was her job to "assist". I then got dressed and left her standing there. Chat Icon
