      Chenonceau:

      Chenonceau, I don't get this kind of service in all the shops I go to. There was once I wanted to buy this foundation but an actress came in at about the same time. Guess what? The sales girl went to entertain the actress. The actress was really taking a looonnnnnng time to choose so i left the counter and went to the next one to get my foundation. After I bought my foundation, I had to bypass the same counter again and saw the actress left without buying anything. I almost feel like dangling the paper bag infront of her and laugh but I resisted.


      Heh! That's 'cos I shop at places where actresses NEVER go.

      This said, I was once trying to buy some steamed baos when a somewhat famous actress walked in. I was first (and the only) in the shop for 2 minutes, and had opened my mouth to place my order when she walked in, cut in front of me, placed her order and went away.

      The me in those days just kept quiet. If it had happened today, I would have told her tersely that I was there first and am not invisible.

        at some Guardian and Watson stores, the cosmetics dept promoters will approach you even if you are viewing non-cosmetics products. I know it's their job but still... it can be quite a turn-off especially so in Guardian stores where they are smaller in size so the promoters can see you the moment you step into the store and they approach you straight away. :slapshead:


        Some of these promoters will start commenting or criticizing on your complexion, pigmentation, pimples, blackhead etc. It really puts customers off. :yikes:

        The first time that happened to me I was quite young and didn't know how to respond so I just walked away. Hasn't happened to me since. Phew! But if it did I would probably give her my dagger eyes and walk away.
