you scream marigold…I am with your there…
But I have a plan, I really do think you should ring the shop, thereby getting the wretch to give you some attention! then purchase over the phone the trinket of your dreams, win win situation, you get your desired treasure and she HAS TO WALK TO THE POST OFFICE!! which with any luck will be miles away from her shop.
I have also suffered from the ‘sales assistant’ strop, in a shoe shop (very well known and on most towns high st) fell in love with a very pretty shoe, waited with patience for two girls to stop their chatting, finally one came over, I asked for said shoe in a size 7, (no giggling I am a tall girl with big feet) she went away for what seemed like a whole lunch time, came back and these words came out of her mouth ” we don’t have a 7 left, we only have a 5 I have that one here for you to try on”
the words were defiantly NOT from her brain!
I have served behind various counters in my many careers and we would have been flogged if we had treated a customer like this…
I think there should be a big black box with paper and pens outside every shop and you could write out your comments (of praise or frustrated condemnation) so the managers or shop owners can sort out the staff or indeed fire them…. we need more alan sugars in the world!
