Anthropologie - Palm Desert, California CA 92260 - The Gardens on El Paseo

So my wife and I spend 30 minutes at the Palm Desert store selecting items (7 tops and dresses, home accessories) and proceed to dressing room. We get there and a clerk tells us that the dressing rooms are closed. We remind her that the store doesn’t close for 45 minutes and she tells us that those are “Covid rules.” That they have to close the dressing rooms an hour before the store closes in order to sanitize each dressing room. Keep in mind there are no signs anywhere in the store until you get to the dressing room door that this is one of their self-imposed rules. In fact it’s not a government mandated at all; it’s a decision Anthropolgie has made to inconvenience and piss off their customers. It worked. We are longtime customers who won’t be back. Clean the changing rooms after you close or before you open, not when customers still have 45 minutes to shop.
