Writing
here
after
a
very
distraught
experience
in
the
Bentalls
branch.
I
was
browsing
in
the
store
with
my
daughter
and
picked
up
a
ring
on
display
(no
signs
anywhere
saying
"do
not
touch").
Was
abruptly
intercepted
by
the
manageress
who
told
me
to
"put
the
ring
down
as
there
are
not
enough
staff
to
keep
an
eye".
I
was
extremely
shocked
as
it
seems
such
a
prestigious
brand
views
all
customers
as
potential
thieves.
I
went
back
in
and
asked
to
speak
to
the
manageress,
who
happened
to
be
the
same
obnoxious
young
lady.
She
began
screaming
at
me
when
I
explained
that
she
has
no
right
to
speak
to
me
like
a
thief
and
proceeded
to
tell
me
that
I
should
not
presume
that
what's
she
meant.
She
verbatim
said
the
words
"to
keep
an
eye"
so
there
is
absolutely
no
presumption
from
my
side
-
Maybe
she
needs
a
better
grasp
of
the
English
language.
Then
she
told
me
that
they
say
the
same
thing
to
all
customers
and
she
stormed
off
to
the
back
room
and
told
me
she
will
not
stand
there
listening
to
me.
The
matter
could
have
been
resolved
if
she
apologised
for
miscommunicating
but
this
was
not
forthcoming.
Needless
to
say
this
will
be
the
last
time
I
will
be
buying
from
this
brand
if
customers
are
treated
like
this.
Have
been
a
customer
for
15
years
sadly
(mainly
in
the
Wimbledon
branch
which
closed
down)
and
we
will
not
be
purchasing
from
here
again.
This
experience
could
have
potentially
ruined
my
day
but
fortunately
was
saved
by
some
lovely
ladies
at
John
Lewis
who
more
than
made
up
for
it
when
I
retold
my
experience.
I
am
73
years
old
and
this
probably
rates
as
the
worst
shopping
interaction
I
have
experienced.
Hope
other
are
shown
more
courtesy.
