Do they really need such an excess amount of employees standing around, basically begging to help when you are just trying to look around?! So annoying! I got so annoyed when I was in there earlier that I decided not to buy my items. There were more employees than customers in there. I understand that a lot of corporations expect the employees to ask every customer if they need help, but seriously, how are you going to ask someone if they need help with anything two seconds after another employee within earshot just asked the same question!? Are they trying to scare people off?
