The key fashion item of this season appears to be the white shirt, but hey it never went away really. Nothing beats the clean white shirt for effect, there are some super ones on the high street. Selection is important crisp and neat or frilly and linen. Looks great with jeans, but must be clean, red wine stains are a NO.
According to You magazine in the Mail on Sunday 27/08/2006 Wallis has been reborn, a great shop that I have always liked so if even better I shall make a special trip to see if it lives up to the hype. Still this shop can be on the expensive side.
Yesterday I popped into Sidcup for my pre chemo blood test and stopped in at Woolworths, well really this takes the biscuit. The lady in front of me was being served (half heartedly) by one member of staff while a rather younger member regailed us all (by accident) about her torrid dream, its odd references to hating her mother, her father drowning, her feeling of low self esteem Blah Blah Blah, not sure she had been drugged or was drunk, she did not stop for breath. Her colleague moved on to me and served me in the same half hearted fashion while listening to this drivel and offering worlds of wisdom to this - wreck. She barely batted an eyelid in referrence to me. Is this true multi tasking? shop assistant and councellor all in one deal, cheap sessions at the counter!!!!! Actually this is not what I call customer service. One member of staff who appeared less that capable of managing her life distracting a second member of staff. The cruncher was when said patient said "I really don't think I am being listened to" oh really, I beg to differ.
It may seem that I have been a little hard, the girl clearly needed help, but not on the shop floor in the presence and hearing of customers. There is a time and place, her friend would be wise to advise this young person to seek professional help.
