Whats worse is when the person you get to help you doesnt know anything and they have to keep ruuning back to the other sales people to get answers to your questions...

I guess i only browse when i don't have money, when i do have money and i am in a shop i am there to buy and i already know what i want.
Pisses sales people off somewhat but meh.

I know, what is worse is I know the owner from when he was a mechanic in the store and I have bought at least two bikes from the store.
No more though.

While on holiday in Oz, I thought I'd check out leather jackets in Nerang, as the street was loaded with bike shops. Triumph dealer was at the end, so seemed like the logical place to start.
After browsing jackets, I noticed the price of their Speed Triple and asked the salesman sitting at the desk if that was a run out special. As he was about to reply, a voice behind me said "No, that's the normal price" and then started a sales pitch on the Triple. When I was able to get a word in, I said "Yeah yeah, I'm quite familiar with them, I own one, but they're quite a bit cheaper here than at home in NZ". Realization that I had no intention of purchasing a bike must have set in and just as I started to say something else, he turned his back on me and started a conversation with a guy standing behind him. Of course I wasand turned to the salesman sitting at the desk. He looked rather embarrassed, got up, walked away and disappeared out the back.
I left the shop shaking my head, laughing and wondering if I wanted to keep looking for a jacket. Well of course I did and my faith was soon restored down the road with a really helpful friendly parts guy. Turned out he was from New Plymouth!!!

it is the same over here. You usually find that the poncey shops ignore you as if that what is expected.
As much as I am not a fan of Honda I must admit the guts in the local Honda shop were great, no bloody fantastic about helping us with a topbox and intercom system. Although they didn't have the topbox that we wanted they spent ages doing a smart bodge-it job attaching a smaller topbox to our back plate. And to top it off they gave us it all for only $25 which saved us a fortune.
We got the intercom system cheap as chips too. I will admit that should we need anything else in future those guys will get our business for sure. I have working in customer service roles and appreciate when people go the extra mile. I do not believe they they do it because they have to, I think that some people are just good at thier job abd want to provide excellent service.
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have you found? The same old fears.

Having worked in the retail sector for a long time I generally have found service not to bad but what has really got me checkin prices and quite often now buying parts off the internet(overseas) is pricing , two examples exhaust rings locally $14-00 each , via net set of four landed $16-49, small rubber part quote resonable price but only have stock at other branch (I'll wait) parts arrive, thats $**** a 85% increase on quote !!!! I shop around on internet most of time now!
