1/5
I had a very disappointing experience at this store. I approached a sales assistant for help with a (CFL) light bulb, hoping to determine if it was a standard size. Before I could finish my question, she rudely interrupted, stating that she knew nothing about light bulbs and that the store was not a DIY store. "She then condescendingly suggested that she could come over and type the information into a monitor." I completely taken aback by her lack of professionalism.
A male assistant informed me that they did not have the bulb size I needed in stock. I mentioned the rude behavior I encountered, and he tried to defend her by saying the store was busy. However, I feel that instead of dismissing my question in such an unhelpful way, she could have asked a colleague for assistance.
To make matters worse, I later discovered that the local hardware store on Priory Street, which was far more professional and polite, confirmed that light bulbs are generally a standard size. I ended up purchasing the bulbs from there instead.”
When I returned to the store to inform the assistant that the bulbs were standard, she shouted at me, insisting she would help earlier by typing out the information, but couldn’t tell me which size was correct. I calmly asked her to lower her tone, as there was no need to shout, but she stormed off and, before I could ask her name, she yelled out, "I'm done." When I did ask for her name, the only response I received was "Sam." This was an incredibly frustrating and unprofessional experience, especially during the holiday season.
