i hate shopping. i particularly hate shopping for shoes. i don't need to be hounded or asked a million times if i'm *still* finding everything okay. if i need help, i will ask for it. But i also hate it when i DO ask for another size and they seem all put-out.
there is the perfect balance of helpfulness minus the pushiness at this shop. while i was asked a few times if i was finding everything okay, it was never by the same person and always ended at that. additionally i saw them assisting a handful of customers and informing them of their sale. (it's currently buy one, get one 1/2 off). again, here's where i always feel pressure. "you know if you buy another pair...." (as if i can't read any one of the gajillion posted signs...) they were super-polite and just told me that if i came back with my voucher, i could still get the 1/2 off.
the next time i need shoes, this will be the first (and probably only) stop.
