Such sweet responses. I can't stress enough that this was my only negative experience in a LOT of shopping. And any of you would have experienced far worse in the UK. My friend and I were bowled over by the quality and friendliness of the service we received in all but this one shop, in huge contrast to what we're used to.

I want to personally apologize for the rude behaviour of that person in Boulder. I am appalled by the treatment you received and if I were you, I'd write to that store and explain why you will never set foot in there again. Come to New York! We're much more friendly!!

Annesthreads, thank you for coming to visit our country. So sorry you had a bad shopping experience. Just know that you weren't ignored because you were a visitor, they do that to the locals as well. I have walked out of several stores and a couple of restaurants after being ignored by staff. I just figure they do not want or need my money and I'll happily spend it elsewhere.

I've ran into that type of attitude a time or two (not very often). It has happened when I was in a good mood so I ended up staying and not walking out....but I'm usually not that patient. I'm glad that the rest of your trip wored out well. :-)

I'm so sorry you had a bad experience there. Hopefully the items you purchased were worth the wait. It is so sad the way some folks are just not polite anymore.

If it was Harriets,it is normal for them.I don't shop there anymore. If you come again, I must reccomend The Hen house in Idaho Springs!! Linda is the sweetest person and all her help love to help you any way they can! Sorry you had to endure the poor service!

Oh, my hope it was not the one across the street from the Quilt Museum in Bolder......I reccommended that one because when I visited there (5yr.ago) the owner was the only one there and she was wonderful. I remember a huge Millineum quilting machine and on the wall, a Jackie Robinson 'Fuschia' quilt.....the printed border fabric and all the conpanion prints.
Sad that you had such a sorry excuse for 'help' at one store.......there is one grocery store here that is like that , they always seem to be arguing about union problems and only even look at you when they say paper or plastic ( even though my reusable bags are right there in the cart ) I drive the extra mile to a friendly store, now. Hope you come to visit again soon and experience 100% smiles !!!!!! |
wonder if it might be a good idea for you to tell us the name of the store......if I were the owner I would want to know and do some retraining.
