L'Etoile and Rive Gauche are constantly comparing - where it is more profitable and cheaper to buy, where the assortment is more interesting, where the discounts are better, where the original is sold, and where are fakes, where the consultants are better. I have been a client of both retailers for many years, I remember as a student I was saving up for lipstick, saving on lunches, and dreamed of a card with the maximum discount.
Let's make a comparison with you today, write your opinion in the comments, share your experience.
Quality of service
I propose to start with sales consultants. In my opinion, the quality of service is higher in Rive Gaucher, although I often come across excellent girls in L'Etoile. What is important for me in a consultant: competence, politeness, lack of obsession. There are already legends about the snobbery of the sellers from L'Etoile, with different attitudes depending on the clothes and the type of client, many have encountered. In Rive Gaucher, I never came across arrogant consultants, in L'Etoile it happened.
In terms of competence, sellers in Rive Gaucher are more comfortable with me, but there are also such mistakes that the best solution is a review site. As for obsession - it is impossible to impose something on me, when I hear even a hint of it, I cut it at the root. I am as polite and friendly as possible, but I know how to set boundaries.
Conclusion: giving a point to Rive Gauche
Where is cheaper - in L'Etoile or Rive Gauche
If we talk about prices without stocks and sales, most often in Letual a little cheaper, the difference can be 32 rubles, and maybe 2. Here a more psychological moment works here, sometimes you compare prices and pay attention only to where the figure is lower.
If we talk about promotions, you need to look at and compare specific ones, it cannot be said that if certain brands offer discounts on their goods, it will always be cheaper in Rive Gaucher or only in L'Etoile. And there, and there, there are super-profitable offers, but there is one name. Don't look at the discount numbers, just look at the prices. 35, 40, 50, 60 and even 70% do not always correspond to the truth, sometimes this is a good (no, bad) enticement. We do not lose our heads. But when there were discounts everywhere, most often I bought more profitable in L'Etoile. Not always, but more often.
Conclusion: let's give a point to L'Etoile.
Other points
If we talk about cleanliness and order, Rive Gauche is unambiguously in the lead, I would even say that he leaves this issue by a large margin. L'Etoile more often and louder notifies about discounts, there is a real apocalypse going on there before March 8 or the New Year, there are a lot of people, there are few of them. And even without shares in Rive Gauche, my city is still cleaner.
Conclusion: Rive Gauche score for cleanliness.
If we talk about the availability of testers, there are problems both there and there, but in L'Etoile there are more empty ones. The special pain of my city of Saratov is one L'Etoile store, where you can find Killian. Young girls sellers literally smell sweet with them, but then the testers are in real trouble. Empty!
Conclusion: L'Etoile lost 1 point to Rive Gauche
As for fakes, there are always people who shout that there are only fakes in L'Etoile, and in Rive Gaucher too. Someone stands up for Rive Gauche, someone scolds him even more. Such people usually have an acquaintance who worked there and told the whole truth. In fact, it is not so easy to trade with a leftist, it is punishable by laws and it is not easy to turn things around by pushing Dior's leftist party with a bribe. This is a topic for a separate article.
Conclusion: and Rive Gauche and L'Etoile receive a point.
As a result, Rive Gauche won in my comparison with the score. Share your opinion whether you agree with me on these points or not. Thanks for your likes! Subscribe to the Business Cosmetic Bag in Zen) Add to my Instagramso as not to get lost.
