I haven't had a truly atrocious service experience before, (well I did have one at Illamasqua but they were lovely and resolved it), but when I was in The Face Shop recently this sales assistant followed me like a hawk and everytime I swatched something and put it back, she would pick it up and unscrew and rescrew the top or wipe it off like I had fucking syphillis. I actually meant to blog about that, so maybe I will in the next week or so.SilhouetteScreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958299527498383584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452160975199954137.post-72500669796666882242011-07-28T20:59:25.933-07:002011-07-28T20:59:25.933-07:00That sounds about right....myself and my fiance ha...That sounds about right....myself and my fiance have had similar experiences with Best Buy.

You guys! I'm so sorry to hear all your s...OH!! You guys! I'm so sorry to hear all your stories, but THANK YOU so much for sharing! This is SO important. TOO often we are upset for a day and talk to maybe one person, or maybe not even anyone about situations like these. For them to STOP we have to start openly discussing them, in the hopes that people will open their eyes and see that we are ALL human and deserve a certain level of mutual respect.<br /><br />I'm not talking like we should go back to <a href="http://www.elegantwoman.org/victorian-etiquette.html" rel="nofollow">Victorian era etiquette </a>,(how cool would that be though!) But.. honestly.. we are so beyond even caring how loud our music is for our neighbors or holding the door open for someone that a little extra effort in the polite department wouldn't hurt ANYONE. <br /><br />Thanks again!!MrsKittyKaBoomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14849815055833352593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452160975199954137.post-40352748055285727652011-07-24T09:02:37.848-07:002011-07-24T09:02:37.848-07:00That's a horrible story. So rude of him!
Once...That's a horrible story. So rude of him!<br /><br />Once at my dermatologist's office there was a new nurse, and she did a chemical peel on my face incorrectly, only dotting it in certain places (you're supposed to cover the entire face). I asked my dermatologist about it when she came into the room, and she had the nurse redo it, but left the room as she was. When we were alone in the room together, the nurse started bitching at me.<br /><br />"Oh how do you know where I put it if you didn't see?" Her tone took me aback. I didn't say anything bad about her, and I didn't think poorly of her. I just thought she was new so she made a small error, and even her boss (my dermatologist) didn't seem too upset by it, so I didn't understand why she was being so hostile. Obviously, the way I knew was that I felt where she touched my face with the stuff without spreading it at all.<br /><br />Anyway, I explained this to her very politely (I was still surprised by her sudden anger and thought I must've misinterpreted her tone or something). She argued with me, and I explained she couldn't have put the chemical peel on x parts of my face, because my face makeup was still on (it would've come off with the peel).<br /><br />She started outright berating me for wearing makeup. I was really upset, because the other nurses had (firstly) never made mistakes with my peel and (secondly) never been anything but really fun and friendly (I knew most of them quite well since I've visited every month for two years). She told me I "wasn't allowed" to wear makeup to the office anymore. Uhhh? That wasn't in her authority, and had never been a problem: they usually just asked if I was wearing any (and quickly wiped my face down with a makeup remover if I was) before the peel, which was another thing she didn't do.<br /><br />I left the room before I started crying, thank goodness she didn't see me. The receptionist, whom I also knew very well by then, stopped me to ask me if I was alright before I left, and I explained what happened. She offered me a tissue and thanked me for explaining telling me that they have no way of knowing what nurses behave like when they're alone with patients except when patients tell them, and apologized on the rude nurse's behalf for me, offering me a tissue. She also told me if she were my nurse in the future, I should feel free to refuse to go with her and wait for a different nurse instead.<br /><br />I still go to that office, because I don't think it was really their fault that this new nurse was, for lack of a better word, a complete bitch. And for the record, I think there were probably others who complained about her, because I *think* she's been fired.Vijayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12961350286256584428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452160975199954137.post-19844996238498842032011-07-24T03:58:35.319-07:002011-07-24T03:58:35.319-07:00How terrible! I honestly don't understand how ...How terrible! I honestly don't understand how someone can disrespect other people so much. What is the world coming to? :( I feel for both of you! And gosh, sales people seem to get very angry when you wait patiently for them to serve you while they are obviously wasting time having chit chats. I have waited for at least 15 minutes in a perfume store that I had made many purchases from, only for a girl (in her 20's like me) to serve 2 people ahead of me when I was clearly there first. When I turned to my friend and said, "I don't think this girl is going to serve us", she looked at me, gave me a filthy look and sniggered. To be honest, I was pretty upset by her behaviour. I didn't complain that night, for the same reason you did, I called the following day and was told by the manager that she had noticed this girl being rude in the past and that she would be "let go" and I was offered a discount on my next purchase, but I have not returned and that was a couple years ago now, one bad experience puts you off forever. Being treated nicely in store is something you should expect, you are there to hand over your money! You worded your letter very well and I hope to hear the outcome :) Good luck!LittleBudgeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01627190422658113183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1452160975199954137.post-5225141907272727422011-07-23T22:30:26.060-07:002011-07-23T22:30:26.060-07:00Ugh, I'm sorry you had such a terrible experie...Ugh, I'm sorry you had such a terrible experience. I personally hate shopping at Best Buy because of the terrible customer service and frankly because the associates don't seem to know their products very well. Also, many times it has felt like I have been treated differently just because I'm female. This is what happened a few weeks ago:<br /><br />The fan on my power supply in my computer died which caused my whole power supply to overheat and die. I usually buy from Newegg but I use my computer practically 24/7 and didn't want to wait for a power supply to be shipped. So I went to Best Buy. I went in and asked an associate (several were standing in a group and none made any effort to stop their conversation among themselves and ask if I needed help) where they had power supplies. He said, "Oh you mean the the little bar with outlets in it that you plug things in to," in a very condescending way. This pissed me off. I told him just as condescendingly, "Um no. And I think you mean power strip, not "little bar with outlets in it". I said, power supply. You know, the ones that go in a computer and have a little fan on them and have lots of wires and make the computer work?" He just glared at me and pointed in some vague direction. It took me 30 seconds to find the one I needed. When I was leaving I walked by him and I gave him my sweetest smile and said, "Thank you so much for you help! I don't know how I could have done it without you!"<br /><br />I don't claim to be an expert in computers or even really know how to fix them, but I know what parts do what and basically what parts are compatible with what other parts. Much more knowledge than this guy was giving me credit for. Seriously, I think even my mom knows what a power strip is... Let us know if Best Buy responds back. I want to know what they say.Jessi M (Lacquered, Painted, Polished)https://www.blogger.com/profile/05296350642692065400noreply@blogger.com
