Four Chicks In the Park

This shop was adorable. I love little local shops and this place had the cutest stuff. I would have bought more, but I couldn't buy much because it wouldn't fit in my suitcase to go home.

I felt racially profiled at this store. I walked in with my daughter and the 2 employees actually looked us up and down and stared at us the entire time. They never once asked if we need any assistance. We didn't realize there was another section to the store and everything I saw was for babies. After a few minutes I told my daughter I thought this was a boutique I didn't realize it was a baby store. The owner heard me but said nothing. My daughter and I left. That is when we noticed there was another room with boutique items. I guess they just decided we weren't worthy of being their customer.

I walked in this cute boutique today after some extra time during my lunch. After looking at some items an employee/owner tells another lady that's there's cameras in store, to include the back area which I was in. I felt stereotype due to being the only Hispanic in the store. I don't recommend this store if you're not caucasian.

It's not often that I'd write a bad review of a small business. Normally I'd keep it quiet and hope they do better with the next customer, because they are vital to the community. But I'm so disappointed with this place and could easily see it happening to someone else, so I'm sharing. We received some fancy outfits for our baby twins. The clothes were a little too small when we received them, but the receipt was included, so I brought them to exchange. There were no larger sizes, so I was offered a store credit of about $120. I accepted the credit but did not receive anything like a paper or a gift card. I asked if I could have some record, but the clerk assured me that the information would be stored "in the system." With them unable to provide another option, I agreed. I next came back nearly a year later (having twin babies makes it very hard to get out shopping beyond necessities), checked in with the clerk, and was assured my credit was still there. Yet after looking around for toddler holiday outfits, I didn't find anything that fit the bill. I thanked the clerk and said I'd try another time. I came to the store again this week and decided I'd put some of the credit toward a Mother's Day gift. The clerk looked me up and I was not in their system. I told her this would have been from about three years ago, and she scoffed back: "We clear our system every YEAR." Ok. It's reasonable to have an expiration date on a store credit, and that would have been fine, EXCEPT that no one I ever dealt with ever mentioned this verbally or could give me anything in writing describing the terms of the store credit. Including when I had them look me up the following year and it would have been just about to expire - no warning then, either. So just like that, there goes $120. If the situation were reversed and I had stolen $120 from them, the police would be called. But when they steal from me, they can scoff at me for ignorance of their unwritten rules. Corpus Christi, we can do better than this place. There are plenty of locally-owned boutiques more worthy of business.

Great place to shop for your wife and young kids birthdays. Love the location and friendly and helpful service.
