Customer Satisfaction?

Is it just me or ...

I went out on Saturday night to buy a new video projector (after Kharama blew up my previous one) and went into Modern Home on Salwa Road. I couldn't find a salesman so I went to Jarir. unhappy with their selection I went back to MH. I stood in plain sight of at least 6 (poss. Lebanese) salesmen who continued to chat amongst themselves. When one finally walked passed I ask "Do you work here?" he replied he did. "Well, you've just lost a sale" said I and walked out.

I went to PC One where 4 or 5 Filipino and Indian salesmen offered all the help I needed, including directions to the BenQ agent and I walked out with a new projector.

Grrr!

thing is that these sales persons are not paid enough to gain their loyality to the place where they are working ... thats why they don't care if the shop loses a sale or even a 1000 .... and they don't care if you are satisfied or not

thats how i see it, don't you agree??

My experience with Modern Home not always bad ... When no one bother to serve i will just stare at them to get their attention. It is usually works. They treat me even nicer when my 'white' husband came along with me. Lol.

We bought few stuffs from PC One ... and so far they also gave us a very excellent service.
