pretty in pink. I am sorry to have to say this, but you have to stop being so negative about everything! There are good and bad things here in Cyprus as there are anywhere in the world. Maybe you frequent the 'wrong' places!

Customer service...there is no customer service, it doesnt matter what shop or business you enter you get a rude response. hum customer service, what a larf

Your post... what bollocks.

Read the thread why don't you...?

like I said "what a larf"
if it was worth reading I would bother, I simply made comment to the first post, is that okay with you, you ole git

No, because the third post completely negates your first post...

On the other hand, too many smiles and superficial sweet talk doesn’t cut it with some of us!
I don’t go to shops to buy useless PR stunts, but SOLUTIONS to my problems so if the person serving hasn’t got the technical knowhow, then looking like Ronald McDonald isn’t going to save them!
And neither am I interested in being treated like (phony) “royalty” because I don’t come from a royal family and only expect to be treated fair & square!

I am with you on this one! I hate being ignored just as much as I hate being followed - happens all over!

I never had a problem with customer service in Cyprus apart from that girl at the e-shop store in Limassol who is almost always rude.

Well said! I was reading some reviews for hotels for Spain some time ago and I was amazed how many people (British and Americans mostly) would give a lower rating to the hotel just because the people at the reception were not constantly smiling!

Their sense of judgment sucks!

What the world needs is a lot more speed and efficiency and a lot less superficial smiling and baloney!

If they’re smiling too much they’ve either got something to hide or they’re looking at a monkey… either way I’m offended!

I must be one of the lucky ones when it comes to buying in Cyprus.With the exception of the developer who's "after sales service" is non existant to the point of bullying everything else we purchased from white goods to heaters,fly screens and furniture we received wonderful service that sometimes made me wish the same could be said of the UK.Delivery was on time,and fixed in and tested before they would take the balance of payment which was considerable in some cases.I felt we got value for money and all were Cypriot bussinesses.
Supermarkets also are very helpful and on my birthday they valetted my car for free at our local petrol station.
Only grumpy person is the owner of peyias supermarket behind the church ( you know who I mean).

What's with all these needy people that need soothing encouragement to go shopping? You either need to buy something or you don't.

well i know you lived in UK Ms Trunchbull so you know its not about "soothing encouragement" its about level of service and knowledge of the product.. you also know that there is a thing called politeness and manners, or dont you?
Do you think staff in John Lewis or Harrods are soothing encouragement?
because their profit levels show that people enjoy shopping there.
You are right, you go into a shop to buy something, end of.
However if your served by a salesperson who is on their mobile the whole time whilst serving you, doesnt even look at you, checks their nails or fiddles with their hair, points to the bill total on the till display and just puts your change on the counter and then ignores you completely...... are you happy with that and will you go back again?

yeah now that is shite customer service when you dont understand what they are saying, but hey equal rights and all that when applying for a job in the uk!!!!
