The minute a customer shows up at the counter she is immediately waited on by a salesperson who calls her "Madam", who is only too happy to scurry to and fro to find different sizes, colors, etc., and who never cracks gum or ignores her while she chats to a co-worker about her date last night.<br /><br />It's jaw-dropping. And I'd like to think it's only pure classic-film fantasy, but I happen to know some ladies from that era who assure me that yes, salespeople really did actually give a damn back then.

So having just remembered seeing a special on TV, about their new VP of Customer Service, I just pulled my cell out and dialed 411 for Chicago, and had to have HIM on the phone before the store manager would come down from her office (in quite a huff)just so she could ask me begrudgingly "what colors and how many bath sheets of the next tier up, would I like at the sale price." <BR/>It's a cool trick if you know the home town of your stores parent company, just to drop them a line while you are standing in their cash machine getting grief for trying to give them your money.Consistently Inconsistenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05781283284705610288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128978925707271.post-54490441308072413322008-08-21T20:31:00.000-06:002008-08-21T20:31:00.000-06:00It sounds like it all comes down to an inept sales...It sounds like it all comes down to an inept salesgirl. True, the store probably didn't want to sell you the ring at sale price before the sale, but they were being cool by suggesting that in the first place. It's things like this that make me shop at Old Navy.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17168261104837286569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128978925707271.post-53811511280209197272008-08-21T09:55:00.000-06:002008-08-21T09:55:00.000-06:00HiThanks for visiting me and kind words.

I don't think you can or should ping someone else's. That is sort of their responsibility. If you are looking for a way to stay on top of someone else's posts, you can subscribe to their blog (I haven't set it up yet on this one) or you can put their blog in your blog roll. Than you can set it to show their latest posts.The cup is half full of something I don't likehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11683679457196177381noreply@blogger.com
