One trend that I've noticed is that there is always a line outside Coach - this used to happen only during the holiday season or during holiday weekends like Memorial Day or Labor Day, both times where there are large sales featured. However, it feels as though there is always a line at Coach now, and I remained convinced that they do it deliberately to build up the prestige of the brand, although I'm sure when asked, they would reply with some type of fire code explanation:
This is how close I was to the front of the line (roughly ten people away) when the Coach saleswoman that was manning the door informed us that no one would be let into the store as someone had experienced a seizure and they needed to keep the area clear for the paramedics:
As most of us continued to wait in line, we could still see into the store - it was weird to see people continuing to shop and checkout at the register, although few actually left the store. Within minutes, the Wrentham paramedics and a fire truck pulled up:
This caused quite a scene at the Outlets and even more people gathered around the Coach store to see what was going on. One guy behind me in line joked that a person must've have fainted after seeing the prices, but this was said before we saw a young girl in her teens wheeled out on a stretcher. I was surprised to see that no adults accompanied her, but once they let us into the store minutes later, there was a woman accompanied by two other young girls, all very calm, receiving directions to the hospital from what appeared to be a fire marshal or policeman.
So in the end, everything ended well. And in case you were wondering, I did get to use my coupon on a Christmas gift for a family friend - it's never too early to start buying gifts!
