Phone shops

So I'm back after a lengthy absence. Woohoo. I know everyone will be so excited and all.
 
But here's a question for you. Why is it when you go into a mobile phone shop to browse you have three or more sales clerks breathing down your neck and drooling on your shoulder but when you go in actually wanting to talk to someone there is one member of staff currently engaged talking to someone who has a million questions each more stupid than the last ("So if I push the buttons on the front that dials the number then? But how do I know what number to dial?" etc). Or in my case this is only after having first trawled round the 3 Vodaphone shops in my area only to find all closed and wandering for another half hour trying to find another one. Not at all frustrating. Eventually gave up as work don't take it too kindly if you take lunch breaks that last all afternoon.
 
But now to top it all I went back to the shop yesterday to try again only to find a hand written sign taped to the inside of the door saying "Closed due to unforseen circumstances."
 
Sod it. Didn't want a new phone anyway.

    Actually I do really. So am going to find the nearest shop and throw a tantrum, lyingon the floor, screaming and kicking till someone talks to me.

    I find stamping your foot works wonders!!

    I find stamping your foot perhaps slightly petulantly works wonders..................you will either get laughed at (hmmm...) or they will panic and run to your assistance!

    You very rarely find a small store clerk that is worth a shit these days. Most of them are morons and have not a clue as to what they are doing. I usually ask to speak to a manager or supervisor. Try to cut out the slow middle man!

    Now who would laugh at you Stivvy? O:-)
     
    Gena: you must have a better quality of manager/supervisor. Round here they're just as inept but with a higher sense of self importance.
     
    Silver: Thanks. Good to be back. Murphy or Sod definitely.

    As a mum I noticed a fail-proof method of getting service: take pre-schoolers with you, and preferably the one kid who can and does undo the straps to let himself out of the buggy. Let the kids wander and play. Do not tell them "Don't touch".
     
    Watch the clerks Run to help you!

    Tappa: That's a good plan. Though I lack an important ingrediant. Perhaps you can start a business accompanying people who want quick service, with your child, into shops.
