Unsuccessfull Shopping Trip

[Phil]

If you ask them they are usually helpful although I have not yet spoken to a particularly knowledgeable one. I never find them rushing forward but then I don't like pushy sales assistants anyway. I usually just say "Just having a look" and leave. Is that good kilt shop still there in Renfrew Street? I am going back 20 odd years now but it used to be a good one.

I too when shopping, much prefer to be greated politely and be given a chance to peruse a merchants wares without having someone breathing down my neck.

This is something I have raised before and Hamish undertook to pass it on to Howie which he did.

Upon several previous visits I had had similar experiences but upon my last one last October I felt that things were much improved and for once bought something there.

It's not pushy to greet a visiting potential customer and asking if they require assistance. It doesn't hurt to be polite and helpful.

Emphasis added by me to stress my support for this idea!

It is sadly becoming rare in the entire world to see sales staff that understand this.
