Went into a store only yesterday and not a staff member in sight, walked round and there's 2 young chaps busy behind a display,.....busy at chatting about a footy game the night before. I looked at them and it would have been obvious to blind Freddy that I was looking for assistance, but did they take notice.....not a chance.
So forgot about ladylike behavior and whistled....long and loud, then called out "any one here know how to assist customers, or give a damn?" As the boss came racing over I told him I was done, and would not be back, and walked out the door. They lost out on couple of computer programs worth $375.
Mind you it isn't just the people serving who don't get what service means, it is those who should be training staff to do a good job. I figure if the bosses can't be bothered training and checking staff out, then I am not doing it for them.
As for ordering medium rare steak....hell some of mine tries getting off the plate and moos at me.
God bless
