Shopping local just bit itself in the bum!
This afternoon I went to Stevens in the Plaza to buy the red silicone utensils I saw online, they had all of the ones I wanted except the FLIPPER. I asked Aaron behind the counter if he could get one for me and without hesitation, a slight arrogance in his tone, he said NO. I asked if he can click and collect or get one from another store etc - NO. I proceeded to take the ones I could find in-store and came home to buy the flipper from their website and pay the shipping on top - which is fine.
However - in a day and age, where we are being asked to shop local I expect the customer service to shine, I enjoy a good shopping experience and will tend to return if it was a good experience, however, if not you have lost my business and I will happily shop from AliExpress, Amazon and other overseas markets...for a fraction of the cost to buy it at a shop local....think about that!
