​

While shopping for a CCTV camera, STOMPer Radha came across a rude service staff whom she said was reluctant to help her. She later found out that this has been an ongoing issue with most non-star marked shops in Sim Lim Square.

She recounts her experience to STOMP:

“I went to Sim Lim Square to buy a CCTV camera (full set with recording device).

“First I checked every shop to check their price offered.

“Then I decided to go to the second floor.

“When I asked the sales person about the product and price, he replied showing me only non branded items.

“I explained my requirement and asked him to show me the product.

“He refused to explain and also behaved very rude.

“So I decided to go down to the first floor to complain to the Sim Lim Square management.

“They told me that they received so many complaints about this type of shops (1st storey, 2nd storey, non-star marked shops) that they have no idea on how to deal with them.

“They then advised me to buy the product from "star marked shops", which had a better reputation.”

Sporns are heading to condemnation. Stupid housewife busybody conduct now hit main stream. Everything is stomp stomp and nothing else. The stupid stomper should just screw the shit and guts out of the salesman and walk off. Why need to comprain to info counter. Sporns are resigned to gutless, behind the scene, safe and silent protest. No wonder the FTs settling in with their presence felt.

You stupid fool have no idea on how they operate. You think there is competition which in fact is a whole building is colluding on price.

Non star-marked shops sell those china-made unbranded and peripherals.
Star-marked shops are selling all similar items.

They want to push that to you. Maybe it simple !
Maybe you look like you won't spend more than $500-$1000
Items are displayed because is shows quantity !
Shops reserve the rights to sell to you !

So cheapo for what? Still must check price on every floor and shop. If you want service, just head down to Challenger or Best Denki for good service at reasonable price.

If she wants cheap, then bear with the fucked up service.

Good service comes at a price. Which good sales staff want to work for an Ah Beng Shop?

 

[mscitw]

most 'salesmen' in SLS are your typical beng peasants. this is their day job, they are doubling as loansharks' runners in the nite e.g. splashing excrement on debtors' flat.

you expect too much from them.

Not just Singapore. I think the consumers of the world need to reconsider our shopping habits. The big megastores have got the edge because of bulk and central purchasing and able to offer various incentives like hp and stuff.

Where possible, consumers should try and purchase from family or owner operated shops -the very operations put out of business by the biggies. These shops want your business and every sale means income. Low-wage employees hired by megastores could care less, all they want is an easy time and then collect their pay. It's not common nowadays to hear, "Can I help you? Have you found what you're looking for? Thank you, and please come again."
