I think our own asian also look down on yellow skin pple. I have these bad experience many many time leow. One typical example, when i asked for a particular model they will not hesitate to tell me the price of the watch first prior showing me the watch..

The funny thing is that more often than not these days it is the Asians with the money and the Ang Mors who are window shopping. Some shop owners have told me their observations too .

My own experience selling my stuff on ebay the last 10 years bears this out.

10 years ago the highest priced items were sold to americans.

5 years ago it was a mix of europeans and N.Asians (Jap, korean) ... with some americans.

1-2 years ago it was 10% Europeans, maybe 50% N.Asians and about 40% PRC.

Hi all,

Let me share my experiences with you all, I went to the above mentioned watch shop on sun to check prices for the Rolex Explorer II. When I was walking in, an Angmo walked in as well. 2 of the staffs saw us and guess wat both of them approached him while I was left out!! I know I was wearing jeans but that doesn't mean I cannot afford or not potential customer.

What is this sia?? Now I will never step in again.

Anyone exprience such bad services before??

I've stopped being bothered by this kind of thing. My reasoning is like this:

1) Can you blame them? If my livelihood depends mainly on completed sales, btw 2 possible customers, I also zoom to the one which I think is more likely to buy (whether white, yellow, black or green skin).

2) Have you tried selling stuff to a Singaporean? I sell stuff over the internet, mainly through ebay and yahoo auction ... and I tell you, our countrymen are one bunch of fargin w**kers. I recently put up my used E2 at an advertised price that a bunch of you guys commented was a good price. It was eventually sold but you wldn't believe the kind of nonsense I get via email/ pm (e.g. I think your watch only worth S$2k cause it's used so nobody wants it so you lucky to get S$2k at all... can I pay by installments to be completed in 2009... let's get it authenticated at RSC, I, as seller, to pay etc etc). I recently sold a toy off ebay to a local collector who subsequently accused me of "misleading" him and being "dishonest" when he was the one who got his facts entirely wrong (e.g his grouse was like saying that I misrepresented that the kermit was a limited edition) . Nvm, I offered him FULL refund, I drive to HIS place to collect the toy at a timing to HIS convenience twice. He said no need because "too troublesome", and then ask me can give discount???

3) You cannot stop ppl from judging you based on your appearances. When I first started working, I noticed immediately that I get better treatment when I'm in my office attire as compared to my standard weekend t-shirt, berms and slippers attire. So, if I receive good service, I make it a point to thank the person and remember his/ her name and next time, i will recommend him/ her to friends or buy from him. If service is krap, I just walk. Cannot even be bothered to tekan him/ her, cause it's a waste of my time...

so, relaxxxxxx, no need to get worked up over something like this...

[Oceanklassik]

Haha... nice to 'hear' all the experiences...

Maybe we can start a rating thread for the various Branches and SAs...

Cant agree mre. Lets do it !

i very much agree with you. as a sales person, job is to have sales. so cannot avoid this kind of treatment if too young like Darkangel. no disrespect to him, but when an adult and a teenager walks into say an AD, the sales person will zoom in on adult because logic thinking says adult is more likely to get a watch compared to a teenager.

as for appearance, those who met me will know that i dress sloppy for work and gathering. likewise why i keep going back to a particular AD, they not only offer the service im looking for, but also keep me updated on things. however, there was once i whack the branch manager because of the service he provided. no excuse.

aiyah... so many stories to read. its interesting to see how people react.

normally i just walk out half way while they are talking if i find the staff to be a bit rude. i did that once in SLS, where the staff act blur when I was speaking english (since Im not able to speak mandarin) whilst trying to upsell me on something that was useless, and since my eng accent not "local" so to speak, they think can carrot chop me.

selling to asians in perticular is toh hui (vomit blood). they research, look, take their time to decide, and ask more questions, go away and think, come back and ask ask, then look once more, touch, go away.................... spend so much time and never buy. then you get those who buy and come back and find trouble with your wares and want disc, free gift, refund, etc etc.

so far all my experience in ADs (s'pore and overseas) are quite nice. i think got many reasons
a) i always dress in business attire
b) that TT really does get the attention of the SA and give them impression of "substance" (not showing off, but true sadly)
c) i do not talk normally, since i give the impression that dont f with me, i know what i want, and you better not pull fast one
d) my face not accurate of my age - so they think im older then i actually am.

to be honest, i have dismissed potential customers due to their premises, dress, etc. it is human nature and cannot be helped. imagine if we spend all day with every customer, we kenna earn nothing (i also in sales). therefore we play dirty and do judgement.

having said that, my father once wore really short work shorts; a shirt (tucked in) and carry a cheap Oz army bag. and the staff at THG NAC treated him really nice. quote him price with discount, and promise of further discounts once confirm purchase; also the shop busy with people and he still find time to talk to my father. so there are some nice people around, just need to find them

It's just luck la...I have to say. Maybe that day that sales person havent reach sales quota then treat u abit better lor...hahaha
