I am so sorry for you. Have you ever seen a 1940's movie where people go into a department store, and a clerk gushes over someone who is buying a hankerchief? Now, I am lucky to have someone greet me when I am buying a $1500 refrigerator...amazing.
I am manager of a department store that is 125 years old, and we treat evey customer with the same service they did when the company first started...Every person is to be greeted within 20 seconds of entering the store and we try to help each and every one....
