Yes, I have to say I do like to browse to see what’s out there and touch everything (that’s a thing of the past, eh?) and rely on kismet. Altho, with this shop, it’s a little bit like that because of their windows... of course, it’s also buying straight off the mannequin which, you know... can sometimes be kind of tragic.
I don’t much like going into a store blind and only getting to see what a shopgirl brings you. I’d be a terrible haute couture customer and have found a good number of boutiques tedious for that reason in the past. You know, the kind that are empty except for one outfit and a chair, lol.
...It’s funny, I watch a bit of the restaurant review shows and someone always says something like ‘they make you feel like family’ or ‘you feel like a regular the moment you walk in.’ And I always think, ‘I’m not sure that’s entirely a recommendation,’ lol. I mean, can’t say I’m keen to be bossed around by and obligated to the whims of strangers.
But there have definitely been SAs who’ve directed me towards winners that I’d never have known about. I don’t suppose it depends on their skill, whether I like it or not. People who throw everything at you in hopes that something will stick are difficult.
