5/5 John T. 3 years ago on Google
I
drove
all
the
way
from
East
Lansing
into
Canton
to
buy
wedding
gifts
and
after
going
to
two
shops
that
were
showing
open
on
Google,
but
were
in
fact
closed,
I
found
myself
driving
couple
of
miles
up
to
Farmington
Hills.
Thankfully,
it
was
open
and
I
even
called
to
confirm.
I
walked
in
and
for
the
next
two
hours
I
was
taken
on
a
magical
tour
of
everything
a
man
should
know
about
buying
beautiful,
elegant
Indian,
and
Pakistani
dresses.
Their
repertoire
consists
of
sarees,
lenghas,
salwar
kameezs,
gagra
cholis
etc
from
different
parts
of
the
twl
countries.
However,
it
was
the
customer
service
by
salesperson
Hiral
whose
name
actually
means
like
a
diamond
and
that
was
evident
in
her
in
depth
knowledge
of
what
to
look
for
when
buying
a
beautiful
saree.
To
be
honest,
I
was
going
to
walk
in
there
buy
the
first
pretty
looking
saree
and
walk
out
but
she
was
able
to
keep
my
interest
piqued
by
stories
of
different
fabrics
were
worn
and
made.
Suffice
to
say
I
learned
a
lot
and
while
I
speak
fluent
Hindi
and
Malayalam,
we
conversed
in
English
and
she
answered
every
annoying
and
seemingly
ignorant
question
I
had
once
I
realized
the
intricacies
of
buying
a
saree.
I
got
to
be
honest,
I
didn't
realize
shopping
could
somehow
turn
into
a
transcedental
experience
of
knowledge
and
history.
Being
a
man
used
to
point
and
click
shopping
for
clothes
online,
I
realize
the
art
of
salesmanship
and
customer
service
is
not
dead.
I
ended
up
buying
a
couple
of
items
and
walked
away
from
the
store
with
fair
price
and
a
sense
of
exquisite
discovery
like
a
young
child
entering
a
magical
mythological
kingdom
for
the
first
time
and
walking
out
with
a
great
story
and
very
good
merchandise
at
a
good
price.
Also,
for
all
the
men
out
there
who
want
to
buy
something
exotic,
remember
to
accessorize
as
I
learned
today,
you
don't
just
buy
the
saree
but
also
the
bangles
and
other
accessories
and
that
turns
a
good
gift
into
an
exquisite
one.
