Abysmal
manager,
which
is
really
too
bad.
Love
and
collect
their
watches
and
wallets,
and
found
the
regular
staff
outstanding.
But
the
manager
at
this
store
is
abysmal,
and
I
have
had
issues
more
than
once.
A
watch
under
warranty
stopped
working
and
staff
reassured
me
that
it
was
under
warranty
and
would
be
fixed
for
only
shipping
charges.
I
was
worried
I
didn’t
have
the
receipt
(it
was
a
gift),
but
was
again
reassured.
I
signed
a
form
and
they
shipped
it.
Weeks
passed,
no
word,
so
when
I
was
at
Rideau
I
spontaneously
stopped
at
the
store
and
asked
if
they
could
track
it.
Manager
said
they
had
no
responsibility
for
that
-
and
without
the
card
they
gave
me
at
the
time
they
couldn’t.
I
didn’t
have
the
card
on
me
at
the
time,
but
was
blown
away
that
in
today’s
era
they
couldn’t
track
it
with
the
email
and
phone
number
I
had
provided.
But
-
okay,
the
card
was
at
home
so
I
would
look
for
it.
However,
I
was
surprised
by
the
enthusiasm
and
zest
of
the
manager
to
underline
how
she
couldn’t
help....yikes.
Fast
forward
to
weeks
later
my
watch
comes
in
the
mail,
complete
with
a
$70
bill.
I
called
the
store.
Same
manager
eagerly
passes
off
responsibility
to
the
service
centre,
tells
me
I
should
have
been
asked
to
provide
proof
of
purchase
(I
wasn’t
asked
to,
and
indeed
at
the
time
reiterated
I
didn’t
have
it),
and
that
it
still
wasn’t
her
problem
and
I
should
deal
with
the
service
centre.
She
was
unprofessional,
eager
to
be
obstructionist,
and
I
honestly
felt
bad
that
the
service
centre
and
a
customer
was
being
held
responsible
for
a
store’s
error.
I
did
deal
with
the
Service
Centre.
They
reimbursed
me.
I
will
likely
buy
Fossil
again
because
I
love
their
product.
But
I
will
never
again
give
business
to
the
store
at
Rideau,
and
I
can
imagine
that
those
polite
and
professional
staff
members
suffer
under
such
a
poor
manager
-
if
she
treats
a
confused,
concerned
and
polite
customer
poorly,
one
can
imagine
it’s
worse
for
staff.
Strongly
recommend
buying
from
another
store
or
the
Tangier
Outlet.
Despite
my
“happy
ending”,
it
wasn’t
worth
the
angst
at
Rideau.
