Yesterday, I decided I would attempt to brave the pushy staff at my local Men's Wearhouse in order to get a better look at a particular sportcoat that had been on display for some time. When asked about the garment, the staff replied that my coat of interest wasn't available any longer, that they couldn't understand why it was still in the window display as they no longer carry them and ... would I like to try on "this handsome one in cashmere?".
"Hmmmm" I thought to myself. Maybe this was simply fate telling me that the trip was not a good idea.
"No. Thank you anyway." I said, and began to head for the door. On my way out I noticed that the original sportcoat in question was, in fact, available in my size and I still continued to exit the store.
I'm wondering, if many of you have seen products that you'd like to have but refrain from purchasing because you dislike the staff, business, etc. Perhaps some of you have even knowingly paid more for something from a shop because the staff was more helpful or genuine. Is it fair to say that quality service is one of the reasons we're willing to pay more for things?
