Irritating SAs & Other bad shopping experiences
« on: October 25, 2009, 04:37:47 am »
Don't you just hate it when you go inside a certain store and then a Sales Attendant would just follow you and look at what you're looking.. super dikit sa iyo na parang may nanakawin ka?!?! Nawawalan tuloy ako ng gana tumingin sa isang product kasi instead of feeling comfortable to browse around, i get conscious tuloy. Like... HELLO?!?! can u just stand in the corner and wait til i call you IF ever i ask/need some help? hindi yung buntot ng buntot.. tapos tingin ng tingin sa iyo at sa bawat bagay na hinahawakan mo sa loob ng store. Parang gusto kong sigawan ng.. "hindi ako klepto now get the hell away from me!" hindi ba nila alam ang meaning ng personal space? It just pisses me off! am i the only one?

sorry..di ko po alam kung saang thread ito nababagay. share nalang your own bad shopping experiences.

Sis to be fair may I suggest that we post both GOOD & BAD shopping experiences para hindi naman masyado maging negative ang thread mo :)

Good:

TBS Podium: Mabait the staff and they make efforts to cater to your every need, knowledgeable pa.

Shiseido Glorietta: I just went to test first a few items and they served me japanese green tea. Well mababaw lang naman ako but to me it was good service. Hindi sila pushy chaka they know their products and proper decorum as an SA/MUA.

So far wala pa naman akong bad experiences or wala pa talagang nagregister sa akin na ganun ka bad kasi I just think that they are doing their job perhaps too well that nakakalimutan na din nila ang personal space.

Isip pa ako :)

sa Landmark Makati:

wala masyado tao that time. I got 3 slacks different colors and design pero yung fabric almost the same, isa lang ang large, isa medium, isa small. since alam ko naman di kakasya sakin ang medium at small, pinakita ko sa SA yung 2 sabi ko request for large size. i wanna fit all kasi sayang naman kung di ko magagamit. di ako mahilig magfit, pero wala naman pila sa fittim room, so try na rin.

Nung inapproach ko ang SA, sabi sakin, fit ko daw muna yung large, tsaka daw ako humingi ng iba large size pagkatapos magfit, pareparehas lang naman daw yun. eh gusto ko fit kasi di lang naman sa kasya ang basis ng pagbili, yung fit (like hindi lalababuttcrack etc.) or bagay sakin color. so sabi ko parequest na lang dahil gusto ko i-fit talaga. aba sabi sakin "bibilihin nyo po ba lahat?", grabe talaga galit ko sa SA.... sabi ko "wala ba ako karapatang magfit?" di ko na matandaan yung iba na sinabi ko.... lol...

nirequest naman nya, pero haller, muntik ko na patawag manager dun ah... parang nang-asar lang sya...

good: sa landmark din, pero sa 3rd floor. I had to buy 2 native bags as pasalubong and super nagmamadali ako. The SA brought the stuff I was buying and mega-effort sya maghanap ng counter na maiksi ang line.

bad: (napost ko na sa kabilang thread) sa healthy options, greenbelt. eventhough I was infront of the counter, talagang inuna yung customer na typical rich looking old lady. Kaya nung bumalik sya sa counter sabi ko, ganito pala dito kailangan mukha kang rich looking para ientertain ka.

  -- GOOD : Skin Food Mega, kasi super sila makaasikaso ng customer.

      BAD : Beauty Bar Trinoma. Grabe kung makatingin, feeling ko tuloy para akong klepto. Tapos hindi ako inaasist, as in nakatitig lang.

Oakley @ sm megamall.

 I asked if there is a new stock for the backpack that I was eyeing at the rack. Walang namamahala.I asked someone, Kumakain daw yung in charge dun. DUH!! buyer ako! they cant say na kumakain kaya ano? wala silang gagawin? pinatawag ko yung namamahala. Then when I was inspecting the back for damages.. ang daming trash sa isang pocket! may stains pa.  Then while waiting for the manager may dumating na girl. Tunganga mode. I asked if she can help. So sabi niya oo daw. sabi ko mayroon kayong new stock ng bag na ito? alam niyo sabi?
 " ma'am stain lang po yan, galing ibang bansa po yan, imported po yan.. etc.. pwede po yang labhan.. matatanggal naman po yan"

 eh I was irritated sabi ko" anong kinalaman ng pagiging imported sa stain niyan? kung ikaw ba ang bibili ng bag worth almost 3k gusto mo  ng may stain? kung ikaw ang bibili malamang pwedeng pwede na yan, pero ako ang bibili! kaya di pwedeng pwede na yan!" tameme siya!

worst siguro for me was in tutuban. my sister and i were looking at those mood rings chuva and we were really going to buy some but we couldn't decide which ones to get. finally, the lady there got annoyed and said, "bibili ba talaga kayo ha?!" with this really snooty look on her face. eh parang napahiya kami so my sister lashed out at her and said, "hindi na. nakakatamad na eh." then they traded insults and as her final move, my sister threw the ring she was holding. harhar. badtrip eh. :P

generally, i like the SAs at rustan's kasi maasikaso sila, lalo na yung SA ng melissa at yung mga SAs sa kids clothes section.

but i've had one not so nice experience at jill in rustan's makati. simple lang naman, hawak ko yugn isang blouse, sabi ko patingin ng size XL. matanda na yung SA at parang tinatamad siya pero pumunta sa stockroom para kumuha ng stock. pagbalik, mali na yung style, mali pa yung size tapos parang ayaw niya na bumalik sa stockroom para kumuha ng tamang item. umalis na lang ako.

sa apple & eve sa galleria naman, there was this SA attending to a customer standing beside me. humingi ng size yung customer, sabi ng SA, ma'am di kasya sa inyo yan. iniwan ko na sila, nagtingin-tingin pa ako around the store.

medyo madami na din akong pieces from apple & eve kasi maganda yung fit sakin ng XXL nila. i was holding on to a few pieces na that i wanted to try on tapos nakita ko na this dress i had came in another color pala so i asked for my size. di ko napansin na yung napaghingian ko pala was the same SA na kausap nung customer sa tabi ko earlier. aba, ang sagot sakin pareho ng sagot niya don sa isa - di kasya yan sa inyo ma'am.

eh meron akong ganon eh, ibang kulay lang, so alam ko kasya sakin yon pero nagi-insist siya na di daw kasya. nagalit ako sa kanya, sabi ko ayaw niya ba makabenta kasi lahat ng tao sinasabihan niya hindi kasya yung mga damit nila etc etc. tapos sabi niya ich-check daw niya kung may size XXL pa. sabi ko never mind tapos nilaglag ko sa floor lahat yung hawak kong damit at umalis ako.

but the SAs at apple & eve are are nice naman, very attentive and matiyaga. pero siguro kasi namumukhaan na nila ako kasi madalas ako pumunta don.

i also generally like the SAs at m&s, la senza, nine west, janylin, dorothy perkins, kate spade, gucci, lv, mix, powerbooks, fully booked, and madami pang iba.

i noticed though that if i'm carrying a designer, mas attentive ang mga SAs kesa pag naka generic bag ako. and mas attentive din sila pag madami na akong bitbit na pinamili kesa pag wala.

hinding hindi ko malilimutan yung experience naming mag-aama sa isang store sa quiapo at bata pa ako nun pero tumino talaga sa isip ko yun.

mag christmas nun at siempre ibibili kami ng tatay ko ng pamasko so tingin kami ng shoes yung ate at kuya ko kasi mahilig yun sa mga may tatak so medyo mahal sya. sinabi ng tatay eto miss pahingi kami ng size ?? para sa ate ko na rubber shoes sabi ba naman ng sales lady mister mahal ito kaya mo ba? grabe nilait ang tatay porke ba nakapang bahay lang kami lahat nun ang ginawa nga ng tatay ko  nilabas nya yung dala-dala nyang pera at nag-umpisang magbilang sa harapan nya. ayun napahiya din sya at sinabihan nya yung sales lady na next time daw wag syang titingin sa kasuotan ng mga mamimili saka trabaho nya yung mag-assist kaya dapat ibigay nya yung best nya.

kaya everytime na nagagawi ako sa quiapo tinitignan ko lagi yung shop na yun at sabi ko di talaga ako bibili sa shop na yan kahit anong laki pa nya

Wala pa naman akong super bad shopping experience but I hear a lot of stories about matataray na SA's especially from high end or designer stores. And I keep thinking, bakit sila mataray and choosy sa ia-assist , eh it's not as if sa kanila yung store. And in reality, it's not like AFFORD nilang bilhin yung mga tinitinda nila..

waaa!!! grabe naman ng SA na yan.. as in hindi na makatarungan ang sinabi niya ha. i really2x hate SAs na parang kung sino maka-discriminate ng customer. tama lang ang ginawa ng tatay mo. i agree with twelvth_goddess.. as if naman ma-afford din nila yung pinagtitinda nila. kaya ko i always appreciate yung mga magaganda ang treatment sa akin kahit na wala akong ayos pag-lumabas o wala akong bitbit na designer bag. i even appreciate it all the more if they still give me the good service even if i just browse around the shop or wala akong nabili. meron din talaga mga good SAs.. even when i didn't buy something.. they still say thank you and come again next time.

it's just those discriminating SAs i really hate. akala mo kung sinong maganda. hehe ;D

Wala pa naman akong naging bad experience sa SAs, here and abroad. But this thread is helpful since I know na which stores to avoid-- hirap na, baka makapagtaray ako nang wala sa oras.

I think I've already posted something in the Beauty Bar thread regarding this, but let me add:

I don't like it when they stand right next to you pero hindi ka naman tatanungin if you need assistance. Happened to me twice or thrice. As in lumapit lang really close, looked at me and then the product I was holding, and then just stood there. Parang ako pa yung gusto magsabi na, "Miss SA, could I help you with anything?" LOL.

(Body Shop and Face Shop in megamall)

yes sis! ganyan din talaga kinaiinisan ko. that's the reason why i started this thread. they do that as if parang nanakawin ko ang tinda nila? halller?! the right thing they should do if ever man lang lalapit sila is ask the customer if they need assistance. if not, then they should learn to distance themselves and just inform the customer that they should approach the SA whenever they need help and they'd be willing to asssist right away. hindi yung ganyan.. super uncomfortable ng feeling.. nakakawala ng gana mag-shop. instead na gusto mong mamili, aalis nalang.

ayoko lang sa ibang SA na masyado kung makasunod, then kada hawak ng item eh mega talk sale sila..ako pa naman yung tipong buyer na gusto ko muna tignan yung item then if may question ako, dun ko lang need ang help nila.yung iba kasi parang ginagawa kang walang alam eh :-\

I hate SAs who think you dont have money just by the way you dress.  I remember kasi parang naka plain shirt lang ako and slacks (left my blazer at the office) and naka flats.  Tapos I went in Adora and it just so happened that may sale sila.  I looked at the stuff on sale first thenwent to look at the other non-sale items. Tapos sabi ng SA, Ma'am hindi naka sale yung mga yan. Tinaasan ko lang sya ng kilay tapos I sai "So?" Parang gusto ko sabihin "Bakit tingin mo di ko kayang bayaran ang hindi naka sale?!" Obviously, she's not familiar with designer stuff...bwisit na yun!

sistah!

^ wow, even in adora ha? grabe.

ako, i usually just really hate those who linger and stare you down. once i went to bench in rockwell and i looked a a shirt that was folded. tapos binalik ko pero hindi na same yung fold, parang nainis yung SA. to be fair, it was early pa naman and ako pa lang yata yung tao sa store. talagang kinuha ulit yung shirt ang parang bumubulong sa sarili habang nagfofold ng shirt. ay naku.

eto naman good service: sa forever 21 in all branches pero madalas sa galleria. sobrang attentive ng SAs as in. tumitingin lang ako ng stuff pero sobrang happy nila to help as in kahit anong size, color and style hahanapin nila, with matching recommendations pa. ayan  tuloy, kahit wala akong balak bumili and kahit overpriced sila, i always end up buying something there. hindi na nga ako masyado tumitingin sa mga stores nila kasi nao-overwhelm ako.
