An experience to remember

[turbocharged]

Looks like Watch Arena is a better shop to deal with. Rude salespeople are bottom feeders and I will definitely give them what they positioned themselves to eat Watchlink is definitely off my radar from now on.

How about shops like Passion or JW? JW gives me the impression that they are able to sell their listed pieces very quickly! Prices can be attractive sometimes but its useless as its impossible to buy them before they are sold off.

Bro, when you go there during your holiday, these poor SE are working and making a living, they are human beings also, unless you're buying a watch, if not, by doing this kind of "ji siao" gathering will create more rude SE...

aiya,next time we organize a gathering then we go as 1 big group to the ADs to ji siao them see how...

Btw i tink i off topic too much liao..

*End of my Rants*

Sorry to all bros and sisters for my rants so far...

i am usually a cool cucumber type of person...but i simply cannot stand rude and the "see ppl no up" type of mentality of sales ppl ...If i ask politely for a simple 2 questions i suppose it is not too hard for the SA to answer them properly...afterall it is not a $100 nor $100000 watch i am enquiring on...however it is my blood and sweat $$$...i like to confirm i really like the piece that i am interested at the moment before i fork out any moolah...

i meant how long it takes to ans 2 or 3 questions or to take out the watch from the showcase...and best of all the entire shop is empty and void of people lest the sales ppl in there...

[feilong108]

i come to realise that maybe due to my image lar...but usually i simply go in to get the piece that i wanted without asking much or kicking up a fuss if the SA is decent enuff to talk to me properly.

Within 10mins i can finish the whole buying process liao...but i dun buy expensive watches to start with...

Yes, you're right and I don't find any offensive comments from you, bro...

My point was that you have to let those SE knows that they are rude... but in a way to make them feel ashame of their behavior/words without creating a scene....

When you keep your cool, and ppl will respect you as a buyer and someone just see see look look touch here and there...

for me i prefer to keep my pride intact than to see the sales person face or mood...afterall i am the one putting $$$ in his/her pocket thru a successful sales...if i have to see the sales person mood of the day before i can purchase a watch , i rather dun buy at all ....

i am a simple and average joe using my hard earned $$$ to buy a watch....i cannot see why i have to endure the smirking and sneering looks and remarks...

All the above are my personal point of view...if the mods or bros in here find that offensive i like to express my apologises in advance...

If a salesperson slaps your right face with one of his hand, you ask him to slap your left face and see what is his reaction. That's normally what I do if the person is "too rude". If you don't understand what I meant, take feilong's eg, if he ask you wait, you act blur and ask him back should you sit down and wait? If he ask you to go somewhere to check, you ask him should you go Sincere/Contina to check if you are in THG?

Also don't always have this thinking that "customer is always right when you go shopping"... don't mind to "press yourself down" when do bargaining... take TS case again, if Sam said don't bargain with him for that only $100, if I were TS, I would have say to Sam back, "BIG BOSS, I am not rich, close the deal lah, it is just that $100 I am bargaining..."

But do it politely and remember "face is ppl give you, how you treat ppl and how ppl will treat you..."


Cheers!

Not really, there is ppl that can do amazing thing wif 1 hand...

I'm a kind of guy who alway dress down. Whether shopping locally or at oversea boutique. Never been treated badly by salepersonal. Sometime, before we start to blame been ill treat or belittle by them. Best is to reflect on how well we carried ourselve" One can dressup in 3pc suit walk-in high nose. Speaking wif essent machiam ABC " U ask stupid Q > they return stupid ans. Best is done some research b4 attempted on purchase "Simple !!

I have not been treated badly before at local or oversea too... Only at this particular shop, whereby the SA take me like a joke... Today say this n this can be done after u return 2 wks later. But after 2 wks later when u return, they say cannot be done due to some xyz reason... Y cant they be straight forward if it cant be done just say so, dun waste my time waiting for 2wks then return empty handed... Not sincere in doing businese.... I think u have to experience it personally to know how it feel... N it is not 1 of those stupid Q...

well..i dun remember i ask anything stupid at ADs...simply the price and if there is ex-stock...that is all...however,wad i get usually is a curt answer at best...if not it is the usual - "i eat glass all my life" attitude...simple translation is - i am simply transparent to the sales ppl there...

Point to note: it is based on my own shopping experience locally...

Customer > Me : Hello handsome, tis Pam model got stock or not ?
Salepersonal > Sori uncle ... Already no stock long long time . U try next month lah"
Customer > me: Oh like that ... Ok lah thnx . Bye bye !
Short & Sharp !!! I like it !!!
