Bridal Dress shopping SHOULD be a fun and joyful time! At Gallippo's it was ridiculous...they were impolite, negative, and angry. I called to set up appt. letting them know we were coming from an hour and a half away. I let them know right away I already had my dress but I had every intention of possibly finding/buying TEN bridesmaid dresses and BOTH mothers dresses. First there was a $25 fee per bridesmaid to TRY ON dresses. I had 7 girls and both mothers with me. They chipped in so one girl could try dresses on. The entire time we were ignored and cast aside (i think mainly because I already had my dress). We had the bridesmaid try on ONE silly dress because that's what its about-having a good time and not being stressed. The owner marched in the dressing room (all of the employees did without knocking several times) and yelled at the bridesmaid, saying that we were wasting all of their time and other brides were waiting (which no one was). We paid $25 so why couldn't we try on all the dresses we wanted...I wanted to make the right choice! Before we left my mom asked for the manager's name and the number to call because she wanted to tell them how badly we were treated. The owner, who she was talking to, basically started screaming at my mom telling her how awful we had been and wasted the stores time and told us to ""GET OUT, we don't want your business anyways"" I don't know who turns down business in this economy but she obviously didn't care. I wish I had read reviews before I went. I wouldn't have wasted my money and gas driving up there. DO NOT GO TO GALLIPPO'S.
Cons: Rude Customer Service, Especially Owner
