  what do u think of those clothing boutiques?.. where the cheerful staff smile n greet u 'HI, WELCOMETO XXXX' (name of boutique), once u step into the shop

  maybe got chiobu leh. chiobu smile at u, make u feel happy. lol

  does it enhances your shopping experience? or make u feel uneasy? or make u want to buy?

  then for the staff, does it makes them tired to be repeating this n smiling the whole day?

  from the customer point of view so be quite happy especially greeted by pretty staff. from worker point of view should be quite sian.

  I have this personal experience at Kbox. When i reach the counter, I was attended by a normal looking lady staff which greeted me with a broad smile. I was quite pleased with it because she looks very sincere and natural when she greeted me. however, the moment i walk away, her face change immediately to a less responsive mode.

  I was amazed by the rate of change, as it is better than the acting skills of any actresses. Therefore, curious of her amazing change of reaction in such a short time, i walk back to her and ask her how she did it. she replied me frankly that she did it to every customer, as she has to repeat the same sentence that she said to me earlier (greetings) for countless time daily.

  My conclusion is this, it is absolutely normal for the staff to behave in this manner. Sometimes we do that at our own work as well when we are facing our colleagues.

  I def will feel better if i were being greeted like that. But it doesnt mean i will def buy something from the shop. I think it's a good gesture that every shop should do.

  I also dont like salesperson to follow me around the shop.

  I might get piss off and walk out of the shop.

  They should leave the customers alone.

  Uni Qlo... every few steps you take you will be greeted by their different sales staffs. Sometimes over greeting can be tiring for the customers as well because we have to respond to them by smiling ( I do that) or say "Hi" ( I do that too). I find that if I don't I might be percieve as being proud or arrogant.

  You can try saying this when you enter the shop loudly:

  What if out of the blue the whole team of sales staffs greet loudly back to you? By then I would really like to hide in your freezer.

  Of course it enhances the shopping experience.

  But nothing beats those Maid service in Japan la. If only ALL service industry is like that.

  And for the staff, of course its tiring.. but its for thier own good. Own well being and character building. LOL!

  well blame the sales commission system, people. If they leave u alone and lose the sale to another colleague, that colleague gets the commission. That's why they have to follow u to make sure "your sale belongs to them" hahaha.

  Personally, I hate it. I wanna look at the stuff in peace and not someone interrupting my train of thought anytime.
