WHAT ARE YOU SO AFRAID OF?

Distractions Actual

& Perceived

Vikki V.

Walked into [a well known electronics store] and for once I actually did need help being pointed in the right direction. Typically there are greeters, but not this morning so I looked around for help. There was one associate who was in the

corner so you couldn’t really see him and he was smiling and typing into his phone something. Smiling at the phone, not at me.

Might have been work related, might not. But it looked BAD. So I stood there looking at him. After about 30 sec he looks up and his face turns BRIGHT red and he nearly drops the phone and says “I’m so sorry, did you need something?” I asked about a return and he directs me to the other side and apologizes again.

“ Who has had a memorable store experience involving an associate or manager using a mobile device? Good, bad or ugly???

THOSE WHO HAVE SAID YES...

WHAT ARE THEY DOING?

“ Who has had a memorable store experience involving an associate or manager using a mobile device? Good, bad or ugly???

On that very same trip to [a well known electronics store], I was casually browsing the bluetooth speakers when I was approached by a sales associate. He recommended a specific option but there was no floor sample. On top of that,

they seemed to only have turquoise and pink, but not black or gray which I’d prefer. He checks stock right there on his phone and says they should have a black one in the back. He takes a turquoise one off the shelf, pulls it out of the box and makes sure it’s charged, pairs it with his phone and has sample songs already loaded for me to choose from. He leaves his phone there with me to listen to the speaker while he goes and finds a black one, just in case.

The sound turns out to be really amazing. I would never have guessed. When he comes back we test out another speaker using his phone again and ultimately I buy the one he recommended in the black color that I preferred. I walked in only to return something and walked out with a new bluetooth speaker. I was impressed.

I was at my local [Home & Garden Store] last weekend and their associate used a mobile device to quickly verify available stock for a light fixture I needed several of.

The additional stock turned out to be on top of their very high shelving. Having the device provided the associate with the ability to confirm the product was there before he retrieved a ladder to climb up and get the product. It really sped up the whole process.

When dining at fine restaurants, I like when waiters can leave a tablet containing a wine list with ratings and information about each wine. Really helps the selection process.

“ Tried out a new restaurant in town for the first time and after being seated, the waiter comes by

and simply drops off an ipad for us to order. No “is this your first time” or “here is how it works, do you have any questions” type thing.

I’m all for technology but it felt robotic. Very odd. “

My wife and I are in [Women’s Clothing Store] and she is rifling through a rack of shirts looking for a specific size/color. An associate with a tablet notices and begins interacting with her. The associate quickly determines the desired item is

out of stock and offers to have it shipped out for free from another location. The credit card transaction is run right there in the middle of the store and we walk out a couple minutes later.

I was happy to get out of there quick and my wife was happy to get exactly what she wanted. Everybody wins :) “
