Has anyone seen any new markdowns since the 40% off promo a while ago?

We have one at SouthCoast Plaza. It has the worst staff of any store in the whole mall.

I think it's a difficult balance to maintain - letting people do their own thing, and being helpful. After all, if they were inattentive we'd complain too.
But tbh, you sound a lot like me. In the Eaton Centre I do find them too "friendly", because I'm the kind of person who'd rather mind my own business in a store and browse around, rather than feeling pressured.

I feel like this has a lot to do with what age group someone is in (at least for men). It seems like younger guys generally want to be left alone, while middle-aged and older guys tend to want to be waited on. Ex- The younger guy will browse on his own, the older guy will walk in and ask what pants they have in size X, and wait for the employee to find items and bring them to him.

I love shopping at CM. They're the sophisticated, but lesser quality of the brands that I actually wish I can shell out on. My only problem with them is that their items tend to be a bit overpriced at full retail, knowing that I can get something better. Their sales are decent... but I wish they would mark down their prices right now.

Their full retail stuff is generally ridiculous.

But definitely worth buying when 2+ or more markdowns + student discount.

The shirt is awesome and is reminiscent of w+h ss 12. I've never seen the shirt in store before. If anyone is selling one, I'd gladly kop it. Need a Medium.

Agreed.

Wait a minute. You were able to use your student discount on a sale item? CM employee told me the other day that he could only give me student discount on non-discounted stuff.

They need to establish some consistency with their pricing.

Sounds BS, you can use your student discount on sale items. Except when there's already a promotion going on (ex: -30% off sale items)

Saw the new collection at Bloor. Was browsing through it and was told that it could be arranged for me to buy a piece early, if I so desired. Said no thanks, as I didn't really see anything I wanted, plus I'm not sure I'd buy at full price if I did.

Agreed. Look at their shirts. Quality is mediocre, but the designs are nice. Then there comes the price; I'd rather pay retail for higher quality brand shirts (i.e. Gitman) then pay $100 at CM.
