I'm really qu...Hi Stellina,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by! I'm really quite disappointed by this collection as I think MAC is capable of much better quality but it seems that most of their energy goes into creating hype and pushing out limited edition collections at a frenzied pace, which tires consumers out at some point. <BR/><BR/>Hi Mac-reject,<BR/><BR/>I understand your situation. I've read many account of bad shopping experiences with MAC SAs. Not all of them are awful but quite a few of them do have this attitude that they are an ARTIST and not a sales person whose job is to serve the customer. But if the customer is not happy at the end of the day, then they're not really doing their job well at all, in my opinion. <BR/><BR/>With MAC, I usually don't need any assistance from the SAs as I know what I like and what works for me. So I usually browse slowly by myself and test out the products and after I've decided what I want to get, I call the SA over to help me make the purchase. So my interaction with the MAC SAs are usually very brief, like just to ask the prices or when new collections are coming in. I don't usually ask their opinion on products or even how the products work since most are straightforward or you can get the info online. If they ask me if I need help, I usually tell them no and that I'm just looking. <BR/><BR/>Don't let their attitude strike fear in you. Just be confident in yourself as a consumer. They are there to serve you, not the other way around. And you're paying for their service too. Of course you're also more likely to get good service if you're friendly with the SA and smile at them. <BR/><BR/>I usually buy my MAC products at Tangs as I have a Citibank Tangs card that gives me 10% rebate. But I've read many complaints about the bad service at Tangs Orchard, like they're not interested in the customer at all. But I believe that the attitude does vary depending on the individual SA. Just be confident and be nice to the SA, chances are they'll be nice back. And if they're not, just take your business elsewhere since there're quite a few MAC counters around now. <BR/><BR/>Don't let the attitude of the SAs deter you from the products! I believe that the quality of the products is more important than whether I get good service or not since at the end of the day, it's how good the products look on my skin that I really care about!Haruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409492495992394247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116364122805043717.post-23473912908064556002009-02-20T17:31:00.000+08:002009-02-20T17:31:00.000+08:00Hi Rougedeluxe,I often have problem buying from MA...Hi Rougedeluxe,<BR/><BR/>I often have problem buying from MAC counter. the SA often appear to be high handed and "snobbish" even. So i seldom.....have MAC! I have the money (though not rich jerk haha) I surely can afford but their attitude strikes fear in me to buy. I often hover, pace up and down around their counter and never quite step in and buy anything. And there is not much spree on MAC too. what is your take on this, Haru? how do you purchase your MAC? any MAC branch with friendlier SA?<BR/><BR/>I want to be a MAC freak but they need to give me better reason to do so!! hahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5116364122805043717.post-41671768123653335592009-02-20T01:03:00.000+08:002009-02-20T01:03:00.000+08:00Hello from the U.S.A.,This debuted here last week ...Hello from the U.S.A.,<BR/><BR/>This debuted here last week and I was also unimpressed when I saw the actual products. I bought a gloss but that was it. The shades are geared toward the very young (not surprising) and most are appropriate only for clubbing. I agree that the accessories are very overpriced, even in our currency.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
