Crikey - sounds just like my experience a couple of weeks ago.

Wow - sounds like a certain large telecommunications company I am acquainted with.
Hi can you give me the nember for Mrs Smith in Melbourne.
How do you spell Smith.
S>M>I>T>H>
Where did you say that was?
Melbourne.
Mmmm. Aaah. Do you know what state that is in?
Grrrr!
Don't you just want to throttle that type of sales assistant. As if it isn't hard enough going shopping with a toddler!
Heavens to Betty!!
Hopeless people. You really need to know what and where your wanted item is before you set foot in that place, I reckon.
People like that probably shouldn't work around sharp things. How can those people not be more helpful to the pregnant lady with whingey toddler. Don't they have any decency!
I was feeling pretty zen-like 'til I hit hyperventilation phase as you both turned to face the Clover display. Just mention the two words 'spot' and 'light' and I'll be maniacally grabbing for my voodoo doll.
OHMYHECK, that is terrible. Just wow.
I am yet to have a good experience in that place.
oh you poor love! OLFA, best ever. Love mine and it has a cute floral design.
I've learnt to become the expert at my store and tell people which aisle or where to go.
I love that I found the template plastic for quilting that I'd been looking for weeks for in the knitting book section, priced and supposed to be there because of course you buy your quilters template plastic as you look at your knitting books! NOT!

I am attempting a personal boycott ... for similar reasons as you have so succinctly and eloquently outlined ... I love that I have to drag my toddler around the superstore as only every 5th trolley in the stack has a toddler seat and since you have to insert a coin to get the bloody thing I would need 10 bucks in 2 dollar coins and the motherload of patience.
Yes, not a satisfying way to shop. My problem with THAT shop is that I get overwhelmed wandering around looking for stuff for so long, that some of the crap starts to look OK, and I end up with all sorts of bits and bobs except one of the things I actually went there for.
Sooo frustrating! And even more so when you have no other shopping choices!
hmmmmm, I can picture it now. I think I even know what store!! Now picture that kind of customer service in EVERY shop you go into and you will understand the life I am living?
Wow. That made me laugh awkwardly. Funny in the way you said it, but painfully true of my own experiences too!!
Some people have no idea what to say when you want help or advice do they!!
