required to have 600-900 words)

As I entered, I noted a huge selection of boxed dinnerware and 2 team members, TM3 and TM4, bringing out more boxes

and re-organising this display. TM3, moments later, began talking to TM5 about product placement and store stock, they

continued this conversation throughout my visit. Only once, did I see TM5 offer assistance to a couple, who were

browsing nearby, but they declined. TM4 continued bringing out dinnerware boxes and was seen only offering assistance

to another couple, who were browsing the knives display cabinet. Initially, the customers declined, but 5 minutes later,

called out to TM4 saying they now required his assistance in finding “a top of the range knife block set” and the team

member proceeded to go through the different brands inside the knives display cabinet. TM1 and TM2 were both behind

the service desk, serving customers. There were 2 customers at the service desk, each being attended by a team

member and there were 5 other customers browsing the store. I was not acknowledged when I entered, by any team

member, even though I was standing in the proximity of TM3, TM4 and TM5 at any given time. When I was looking at the

dinnerware, TM3 and TM5 continued their work related discussion, while TM4 continued stacking dinnerware boxes, I felt

invisible. Even with my closer inspection of the dinner sets to read their contents and setting details didn’t alert any team

member that I may need assistance. It was 10 minutes without any acknowledgement, I continued browsing the store,

which I noted was well stocked with items well placed and aisles were clear to walk through. Both TM1 and TM2 remained

busy, serving customers at the service desk or they were approached by customers with enquiries, continuously. Noting

TM1 had just finished with a customer, I took the opportunity to make eye contact and approached her for assistance. As

I approached, the team member offered a pleasant smile and said “hi” I said “hi, sorry, I do know you are busy” she replied

“that’s okay, how can I help?” I explained that I was looking for new dinner set and asked “do you know if they come in a

setting for 8 persons?” The team member immediately informed that the settings came in either 4 or 6 and that I would

need to purchase 2 of the one setting to make up the 8. The team member asked if I wanted porcelain or fine bone china,

I asked the difference and was told that the fine bone china, although finer, is actually stronger. I implied that this would

mean it is more expensive, the team member said “yes, it is, but it will last you a lot longer, probably a lifetime.” The team

member described the fine bone china being stronger as there is ‘bone’ in it and less likely to chip or break than the

porcelain. The team member walked me to the dinnerware boxes, I commented “I see these are all in white only” to which,

she asked “yes, mostly white. What colour were you after? As we do have another setting over here” and showed me the

‘Rhubarb’ range. I was told there was also black and white in this range however they had sold out and an order was due

in soon. I was also shown the ‘Maxwell & Williams’ in floral design, but said “I think I might stick with the white as it is a

timeless colour” and the team member agreed and suggested that I could add colour by buying individual pieces in the

‘Rhubarb’ range, such as a large salad bowl or small bowls. We returned to the white dinnerware boxes and the team

member recommended the ‘Maxwell & Williams Cashmere’ 20-piece setting, which was currently on sale for $89.95 from

$129.95 or the 16-piece setting at $79.95. Also recommended was the ‘Maxwell & Williams European’ on sale for $99.95

from $145.95, however these were for plates only. The team member pointed out that the settings varied in contents, with

some including mugs or cups. While I was contemplating on how to make up an 8 person setting, the team member

mentioned I could buy individual pieces to make up the setting however, reiterated the value in buying a set compared to

individual pieces, showing me a plate at $9.95 would cost me around $80 for the plates alone, similarly, giving another

example, by showing me a side plate at $4.95 and that overall cost. The staff member also pointed out additional items to

complement the dinner setting, i.e. sugar bowl, milk jug, teapot, cake platters, advising that these would always be in

stock, so would be easy to replace or add to. I was told the dinner sets were dishwasher safe and come with a lifetime

warranty. The team member also pointed out that the ‘white’ in the fine bone china was a ‘true white’ and consistent

throughout compared to the porcelain. I told the team member I would consider buying 2 dinner sets to make up the 8

person setting and asked how long the sale was on for, she said “umm, normally it’s on until they are sold out but I am not

sure.” TM3 was nearby and TM1 asked her about the sale end and TM3 presumed it would continue right through until

‘Mother’s Day’ at least. I told TM1 that I would think about it and come back again, I thanked her and said “I will continue

to browse as I want to buy some measuring cups and spoons.” The team member offered to show me where these were

located and also helped me make a decision and carried these items for me to the service desk. Whilst processing the

sale, the team member again reiterated that 2 dinner settings would be the best way to go and especially now while they

were on sale, also suggesting that they could be placed on lay-by. I thanked the team member again for her help, saying

“I will come back with my husband to help choose a setting” she smiled and said “thank you, have a nice day, see you

again.” The store was fairly busy with customers seen approaching team members instead of waiting for them to

approach, so understandably, I was not soon approached. Overall, initially disappointing, as on entering there was no

acknowledgement at all and not even while standing or browsing next to any of the 5 team members. However, this

shopping experience was redeemed with the overall friendliness and helpful assistance received from TM1. The team

member was informative and had a warm manner, she was attentive and did not rush me through my enquiries, even
