How does SB even allow this? They got my 80 year old mom to spend 400.00.

It's against ordinances or something like that to do this on public property. So they stand in the alcove and it's "legal". But they always step out of the alcove

Were you able to return everything?

These kind of places give you an insane run around trying to return things, which makes it nearly impossible.

Nope, I went into the store and complained that they took advantage of an elder. They gave me the owners phone number. He refused a refund. I almost called CJ Ward’s tip line. Wish I had.

"I love your [insert clothing item]! Where did you get it?"
I'm a mildly schlubby-looking guy in my mid 30s so they don't talk to me at all when I'm alone, but anytime I walk down State with my GF they go after her like ants on a sugar cube.

Edit: I just looked it up on knowyourmeme. Well played. and I feel much older having to use knowyourmeme.com

Just walk by and stare blankly at them as you pass. Remember these types read body language so don’t even swerve if they try and get in front of you. I almost knocked the guy over at the one they just opened in Solvang. Shits annoying, and smelly.

I’ve seen a business open up in Paseo/Downtown and fail within a month. The turnover and vacancies are so bad yet, these assholes have been doing this for over 6+ years. I remember when they had a kiosk and then were able to upgrade and move into that store.
People complain all the time, it’d come up in monthly meetings at the mall back then.. Security team is told to enforce the policy and keep them from leaving their proximity, but they always break the rules. Essentially they get a verbal slap on the wrist and maybe a small fine (but I doubt the fine).
As long as they’re able to afford and keep their rent, the mall will never get rid of them. As long as Downtown and Paseo have high turnover and high vacancies, I suspect we will see more of this, (if there isn’t already more than (1) store doing it).
Combine :
(santa barbara factors) high rent, mentally ill living on the streets, and pushy vendors, ridiculous codes and restrictions on design, signage, and a refusal to change/grow
(Global Factors): Rise of online shopping, economy, you name it
= This

If I was a store nextdoor to one of these guys I’d be pissed. I think it’s a shame that Paseo would even rent to them, and it shows their lack of respect for their long term tenants.

Over priced makeup and apparently, they got VERY pushy - there was this one and another one next to the french press kittycorner from the museum of art.
