Encounters

I have just had Meg at the mall looking for her new glasses. Why oh why is it that all the shop assistants I came into contact with looked like they were 16 years old and new about as much about the product as a work Expericence kid.

I was in the empty glasses shop for 10 good minutes before I was forced to ask for some help. I wanted their advice about shape, style and colour (Meg has red hair and pink glasses don’t look so hot!), but when the assistant took a pair off the shelf and handed them to Megto put on herself, I had no confidence in her ability to advise me at all. When I was a small child being fitted for glasses, the guy always put them on me, checked their appropriateness and had other suggestions. This kid today looked to me for guidance and to tell you the truth I really didn’t want to buy them there because as the “experts” I sure didn’t geel like I was getting any expertise.

Anyway, we ended up with the Barbie frames, Meggie loves them to bits, and we can pick them up in a week 🙂

  1. Completely understand the situation. I’m looking forward to seeing them on her too!!! Eoin and Roisin will be jealous though!!!

  2. ARGH that would of been frustrating! I emember having to go shopping for new glasses when I was little and what a ‘fun’ experience that was!! Can’t wait to see a picie of Megan sporting her new barbie frames!! 🙂

  3. Those glasses sound cute!

    But I know what you mean. It is so hard to find good customer service these days. People don’t know their product, they are too busy chatting with other stuff members to help etc etc.
