Nearly Fainted

I was in NY and Co today waiting on line. All of a sudden, my stomach felt weird, like I was going to throw up. Then I started feeling dizzy. I went off line to lean on something, and then it felt like something was covering up my ears (I couldnt hear anything) and everything went black. My friend came running over and sat me on the floor. After a few minutes, I felt a little better. Shaky, but better. I never passed out thank god. But I had her ask at the desk if I could use their bathroom--because I felt sick, and they said no. She told them that I was pregnant, and that I almost passed out, and they saw me on the floor, but they still said no. I was sooo angry

Re: Nearly Fainted

OMG!!!

I'm glad you are okay now. What asses for not letting you use the bathroom!!

Re: Nearly Fainted

How are you feeling now?

This exact thing happened to my twice early on in my pregnancy. I attributed it to low blood-sugar. You might have been doing a lot of exercise by walking and not realized how famished you were. Keep a granola or candy bar in your pocketbook at all times.

That is appaling that the store would not help you - and it's a women's store. Shame on them!!

Re: Nearly Fainted

I think you should contact the headquarters at NY & Co and let them know that they wouldn't help you....

Re: Nearly Fainted

That's a good idea. I really should contact them. I shop there and give that store so much money----I think I am going to look into it right now!

Re: Nearly Fainted

wow, what mean people! If i get to warm in a store lately i get the same way, DH and I were out shopping today, and we had to leave bc he saw me getting icky with waiting in line....Feel better

Thats just disgusting what they did not letting you use the bathroom. I would definatly call corporate and complain.

Re: Nearly Fainted

What store?

I am truely sorry that this happened and this will be brought up to store management & customer Service.

At this time of year with all the new hires sometimes the policy gets in the way of compassion.

Regardless, the least they should have done is gotten a chair or something.

To think, NY&Co has started selling via the web but some dingbat newbie ( at least I hope it was a newbie) doesn't realize when someone has a problem.

Forum Mail me for followup

Re: Nearly Fainted

I am glad you are OK and SHAME on the store employees for not helping you out! I would contact a manager right away!
Again, Im glad you are ok!

Re: Nearly Fainted

So sorry to hear how you were treated, I would definitely write a letter That's happened to me a couple of times - I've learned to always bring snacks with me. Once I eat something I feel better.

Re: Nearly Fainted

Thanks everyone. I am definitely going to call and put in a complaint. It was ridiculous.

Re: Nearly Fainted

what mean people. How are u feeling

Re: Nearly Fainted

I am feeling better. But now a little nervous to go shopping by myself. I know that sounds crazy, but it really threw me off yesterday. Plus, ever year my mom and I go out shopping the Friday after Thanksgiving, but she said that maybe I shouldnt go this year because it will be so crazy.

Thanks for asking!

Re: Nearly Fainted

The same thing happened to me and it was low blood sugar too! It's been happening more lately. Have a snack in hand just in case.

I can't believe they didn't let you use the bathroom I would complain.

Re: Nearly Fainted

I'm so sorry that happened to you. Some people are unbelievable! I agree that you should file a complaint. I'm glad you are feeling okay now. In addition to the low blood sugar, it could be dehydration. I have fainted in the past from dehydration (pre-pregnancy) and feel faint now if I do not drink lots of water. Make sure you always carry a small bottled water with you just in case.
