When it comes to shopping there are a few things I expect in service. I have been accompanying my cousin, the bride to be to shop for some items for her wedding. It was awesome being a company not to shop for me but to shop for the best deal, look and trend in town just for her. Being out of focus feels great esp when you know ya comments matters much.;)
So we’ve been shopping and these week’s focus was on Indian costume. We went to shop for bangles. I am pretty particular as a customer personally. I expect good service. And also the sales person to be at least friendly, comfy or helpful. Or else I would get pretty irritated. I know me. You turn me off and the clothes you offer me turns me off too. Unless it has its own language. Than Gee.. sales person is lucky.:P yeah yeah so maybe I am a little demanding. But I seriously don’t think anyone would really want to buy from a pushy rude and demanding sales person. Shouldn’t it be the other way round? *shrugs Give me the best deal. Offer me a few alternatives. And I will pick the thing that appeals to me. Isn’t that how its suppose to swing? I remember a quote hung around the company that says, ‘customers are always right., Ok I see the point. But I see it further when I am a customer myself.lol.
Why this drama? Went shopping with my cuzzy and entered a shop that was totally disrespectful. Did not give alternatives. And just plain pushy. I tot it was pretty unacceptable. To think we tot it was one of the best shops that could offer us the best products, deals and services. But gee..i was alittle taken aback by the sales person. My cuzzy had in mind to purchase the product but did not due to the missing set that would probably reach around next week. I guess she sees it better to see the new sets in before making a big buy. Than again, to our surprise the lady demanded that we buy her products now. I tot she was pretty rude and big liar. I realized that she was putting up her marketing skill probably thinking that she could sweep up with her rough tone. But too bad. Working in the working world we just felt the swing she was trying to pull. Snap shot turn back. We just told her we would come back pretty much turn off with her attitude. We kept our cool though. That’s the wisest way to move.
While strolling down, we saw another shop selling the same products. We decided to take a peek and see what they have to offer. The service was so much better. So much alternatives. And great prices!! The look is awesome too! What more would you want seriously. I realized that being a shopper I know what I would like as a customer. And the importance of not being a pushy idiot and transparent liar by thinking you can swerve people just by ya stupid tone or facial expressions. Customers will just walk away, possibly with rolled eyes and raised eyebrows. Like whatever.
Another thing abt me when I shop. Esp when I am getting something I am infamiliar with.I like to browse a few shops before I settle for a final deal. There will just come a point when something is captivating. Being a company is awesome. AT the end of the day, what matters is the bride feels the same pinch of good lookingness and also that she looks extravagantly pretty!!;)

5 Flavours:
Amy I so kno wwut u mean. Im just like u when it comes to shopping and service. It matters alot to me. Im a tough customer and I dun settle for less. Being polite isnt too hard so if they arent polite, I make sure they r aware of that.
**You turn me off and the clothes you offer me turns me off too.
thats so true!
It happened with me once too..went shopping for Indian clothes n bangles (just like u and ur cuz)..the girl there was too pushy and rude. I was nearly going to buy a saree from that shop but she lost the sale cos of her attitude. And later I found a great saree in another shop for a much better price. Big mistake ha! As Julia Roberts said to the shop assistant in Pretty Woman :)
Never lower ur standards Amy just cos of some shop ppl..always keep em up!
Good post.
Keshi.
The shopping lady on the prowl!!
I'd rather just narrow down to what I wanna buy, I go and I pick it up.. Haggling really isn't my forte.
Keshi: Helloo Sweets..Ironic ain;t it that both of our experiences happen to be in bangle shops.:P hehehe. its really their loss honestly. Thanks for the encouragment Keshi.;) Cheeries!! *Huggiz*
J:lol..You're a guy i can understand why it ain't ya forte. Sides, i don't haggle man..lol. i am far from that.i think my forte is more on variety and the best price they can give me.
yeah..we seem to think alike and now we shop alike too LOL!
Keshi.
