Bad, disgraceful service at Orchard Road shop
-
The photography shop at Midpoint Orchard's B1 floor (where you need to go down short flight of stairs from the footpath) has disgraceful service.
Man: "What do you want?"
Me: "Excuse me, how much for a 1 GB SD Card?"
Man: (says price)
Me: "Oh that's quite expensive.... how much for a 512MB card?"
Man (says price)
Me: "What about 256MB?"
Man: (says price)
Me: "Er, let me think"
Me: "Pardon me, how much for a 256MB card again?"
Man: "Do you have a budget?"
Me: "No. Pardon me, how much for a 256MB card again?"
Man: (irritated) "Do you have a budget?"
Me: "No, I need to know the prices so I can decide. How much for a 256MB card?"
Man: "You don't have a budget?! After you have a budget, come back again and we'll talk about price"

Never encountered such an attitude, be it in pasar malam or shopping centre.
In neighbourhood shops nevermind, but in a tourism area???? -
obviously u not tourist
cos tourist got another protocol -
I will never ever revisit a shop if I had bad service there. It's like you know they gonna treat u like shit and yet u still go get smear all over your face.
-
are u angry? are u pissed?
if u are,
JUST POST THE NAME OF THE SHOP -
... why go such a place to buy memory card sia... of course expnsive one lor
-
why check for prices at orchard road in the first place?
they pay heavy rentals, thus more expensive.
or am i wrong? -
hmmm,bad place to shop for electronic shops..but den again,most part timers aren't really gracious in their service...

wait ppl,are the part timers or full timers normally the ones who shows attitude? coming to think of it,it could be the full timers who are stressed about not getting a better job den start to show attitude..
-
And whats the name of that shop?
-
thread-starter, do exactly what you did in an ancient dzi bead retail shop...
I betcha the staff will throw you out in due time~!! -
give us the name.
why you want to protect the shop name?
this is the problem in singapore. nobody wants to bad-mouth a shop and pin point a shop.... thus, the shop doesn't care. -

*PS: if you dun, maybe your mother forgot to born you a brain~!!! -
The shop is at B1 level, down a short stairs from the footpath at Orchard Rd.
It's one medium sized Chinese guy in his mid 30s.
Think who he is?
King?
Just wanna him to repeat the price for the memory card, not like it's asking him to give me the price of every single item in the shop. Or run a marathon under 1 hour!
Dun wanna repeat, still act like as if he earns a million dollars an hour and that I'm wasting his few precious seconds!

he might as well put a sign at the door saying so... this is so ridiculous.Originally posted by dragg:maybe he is really only interested in tourist and people who are loaded. -
maybe he thinks that you're a spy from a competitior, coming to investigate his product pricing??Originally posted by redstone:Just wanna him to repeat the price for the memory card, not like it's asking him to give me the price of every single item in the shop. Or run a marathon under 1 hour! -
