Snooty sales women in Selfridges?

I don't know if it's just me.. but I feel so paranoid every time I go into Selfridges (manchester city centre one). I went there today to go buy some makeup in MAC and even the women in MAC are quite unfriendly... It makes me feel nervous and as a result, I bought something in MAC today that I don't even want lol. Stupid me.
Anyone else feel the same? :confused:

I'm always in the London Selfridges and love it! I always find the staff really friendly. I have also been to the Manchester and Birmingham ones and didn't have any problems.

they are so two faced! i go in there with my mum, and they are the nicest people EVER, wanting to do anything they can to please us, then i go in there on my own and they seriously look as though they couldnt care less! the people on the MAC counter in the trafford centre selfridges are really nice though, i've been there on my own many times and they are nice and polite :smile:

Why would you feel like that? Your custom is as good as anyone's.

Because I live on £22.50 a week, and it shows.

I always feel like some of the other customers are more judgemental/ stuck-up than the sales assistants. I quite like Selfridges, it not all mega-expensive although it does have that rep.

Umm...how tall are you? I'm pretty sure Keira Knightley is only 5'7'', which is about average for a girl.

Have never been to Selfridges but the Harvey Nichols and Harrods staff are lovely. The only time a member of staff has really given me bad vibes was one of the ladies on the Estee Lauder counter in the Exeter Debenhams - she looked at me as if I was something that she'd picked off the bottom of her shoe :frown:

It has to do with those two posts.

I've had wonderful service at the London Selfridges and Harvey Nichols... Harrods a little less attentive though..

I guess it depends where you go and how you're dressed. Once in Jane Norman i.e. not overtly expensive, in Covent Garden, I was just wearing jeans, a stripey t-shirt and a baggy top from River Island (it was one of their cheap stretchy ones but it was 2 sizes too big for me) and the Security Guard watched me the whole time I was in the store (it was only tiny as well!) and when I was looking at some clothes near him, he started cracking his knuckles presumably to intimidate me. But how rude! :eek:

I've never had any trouble in Selfridges but then again I do sometimes take on a look that gives the impression that I'm seriously interested in stuff so that the staff get the impression I can afford things even if I can't. I just hate it when you're in a shop and people are giving you looks that say "you obviously can't afford anything here" but I tend to find you get those more in the shops that are for a specific designer or more expensive clothes make.

It's all about how you act. Walk in with your head held high, knowing exactly what you want and as if you own the place, but be polite and pleasant to the staff and all will be well. If you have to ask a question, try to ask it sounding as if you already know the answer. Confidence (or apparent confidence) is the key to everything.

And if you get bad service, bloody hell, write and complain! Then you might get some vouchers or something, and the person who was rude (who should be wearing a name badge) will get told off.
