Yesterday i went to the MAC in the bay at my mall. I had been going, almost exclusivly, to the free standing store upstaires since it opened, but deicded to see if my fav. MA was working.
Let me just start off by saying that the new girls at the bay counter seem pretty incompitent. I went in in Dec (26th?) at the end of the day. The counter was dead. I had a gift card and wanted to spend it. Earlier that week i had purchased the Spiced Chocolate quad, so i wanted to get another CoC quad if they had. I asked the MA, she said "no, we sent back all our CoC". I thought it was funny, cause i had been in like 4 days ago. I mentioned that and she was like, ya it was sent back. I didnt fully trust her (but ihad no reason not to) when she mentioned it to someoneelse. They were super confused. Finally i just asked her if she could check. She went in the backstore, nothing. I told her that earlier in the week they were in this drawer (i pointed) and sure enough there they were. annoying. Anyway, its been that kind of thing going on since the store opened.
Yesterday i was on my way to catch my bus, but passed by the Bay, so i poped in. They had all these LE shadows out (they usually have them tucked away). I saw Top hat and wanted it. Then i started debating bewteen Glamour Check and other things. Anyway, this really confused looking MA walks up to me and asks if i need help. I told her i would take Top Hat. Then i asked where the paint pots were (they changed the set up of the store). She showed me. And started muttering under her breath about bases and stuff. I asked her in her opinion, if you already have a netural base, would it be wiser to get blackground or another neutral( i dont own any paint pots). She starts goiung on about reubenesque.... clearly it's pink. I said, no, like this (painterly) or blackground. She didnt seem to understand. I said do you have blackground (at this point i was decided) she starts looking at blue and green pots. I had to tellher it was black. Finally she goes in a drawer, and pulls it out. its practicially empty. She said you want this? I said yes. Goes back and get a new one. Then im waiting in line at the cash, and i see a box of pigments. I asked if they were LE ones, she says yes. /i aks for Meuseum Bronze if they have it. She picked up every single colour including some yellow (?) and a silver glitter. Anyway, it took me forever to get rung up and the service was awful.
She had mentioned she was freelnce, but shit. I was so annoyed by the service.
