Another NASTY AD experience

[southcarolina1801]

Well folks I've had another nasty AD experience, this makes the third time I've been treated this way at this particular store so I am definitely done with them permanently.

Tonight I walked in to check out their selection and after a few minutes the salesperson walked over to greet me. It was obvious she didn't want to talk to me but while I had her attention I happened to ask if they had a copy of the new Rolex Magazine in that I could have. She instantly replied "No, we don't have any". A few moments later I turn my head and see a short stack of them right there on the other end of the counter. I then say, "Oh I see some there, may I have one", and she says "No, I won't give you one of those" and then hands me some generic flyer from behind the counter.

I won't name this particular AD but they are in a very prominent mall in Atlanta and I know multiple other members have shared similar experiences with them before. I'm done with them, they'll never see my face again.

Sounds like Mayors. They're fairly notorious for bad behavior. I've experienced it myself here.

If you're looking to browse or purchase in ATL, I've found that the staff at Brown & Co and Tara Fine Jewelery are both extremely professional and welcoming.

Looks like we have a winner!

Tara is my AD of choice, but Brown & Co has been good as well.

Brown and Co. is solid.

I won't buy from anyone else here in Atlanta.

I have good experiences with Brown & Co. I was planning stopping in to Mayors this weekend. I guess I'll keep driving a few stop lights to Brown.

Which Brown & Co has the better Rolex inventory Roswell or Buckhead?

[BNA/LION]

Kick them to the curb!

[texex91]

Is there a Rolex policy that they have to hand them out?

I'm just curious as it's a private business.

Since your other two visits weren't well received, were you really expecting this would be different?

Might be easier to just buy from a Trusted Seller here and save your time.

Mayors in ATL seems to have a bad rap from guys here, FYI their store in Bradenton FL is great. I'll let Mayors mgt know their ATL store has severe problems. Agreed, after two bad visits I'd have punted them to the curb.

But that's literally what the salesperson wanted.

I suggest your next plan of action is to arrive back at this AD tomorrow 10 minutes before closing time while wearing two large gold chains around your neck with a digital battery-powered alarm clock attached to them. Be sure that the time is set to the atomic time of Switzerland for critical effect. These can be purchased at a very good price from stores like Wal-mart.

On your wrist, adorn a paper cutout in the generic shape of a Submariner (make sure to cut out a hole for what seems to be the cyclops). Do NOT attempt to make cutouts on the corners representing chronograph pushers as that may mislead them into believing it is a Daytona.

Re-approach the sales lady who has so carelessly insulted your ancestry. Place a $5 Canadian bill in the nearest pocket of her suit jacket. Lean into her left ear (your right) slowly and whisper, "Cerachrome, cerachrome. May your nights be filled with Rolesor."

At this point, her body should be possessed by the ghost of Hans Waldorf. Ask again for the magazine. You should, without a doubt, receive at least one copy of it.

Though this sounds strange, it actually works.

F***ing LOL!!!

Sorry to hear of your bad experience at an AD. However there are plenty of good ADs out there as many people can attest to. Go and give your business to ADs that really care about customer service.

[Peter99]

Am not sure if is quite the same in the US but in the UK if one walks into an upmarket London store, of most sorts, whether it be motor, clothes, watches, shoes etc in anything less than smart casual clothes, they don't want to know you!
I've tried it, I know! It's a question of getting you out ASAP!

This can be true, but not always. Not long ago I walked into a Mercedes-Benz dealer wearing grubby motorcycle clothes and sweating like a pig (hot day, and I commute on a bike and always wear full protective gear) and was very well received, they spend quite some time with me even though it was close to the end of the day and I made clear I wasn't signing anything that day.

I don't think it's a London or even a UK thing, just a 'snooty salesman' thing which can happen anywhere.

Yes, the UK is not the most, well, friendly place within the world for luxury goods. In Europe i tend to shop at upscale stores yet clothes and shoes are dress down casual to better blend in with the average crowd. Sometimes at first they are not quite helpful as you say, yet upon looking at my timepiece, etc, and Wellendorff ring (if they are even aware of the brand), and yes their attitude changes. Not subtle of them either. It's sad really, as worked sales for many years and never judged a book by the cover. Another salesman i worked with 'cherry picked' customers and he consistently made far less in commission.

Within the UK i do realize that 'class ranking' is still an ongoing problem that is embedded within the culture. Fortunately, there are some salespeople at stores who are wiser and more professional than others.

Vote with your Renminbi, Dollars, Yen, British Pound Sterling, Euros, etc.

Agree. I bought my first one there in 2007. I was new to watches, but they took a lot of time for me and of course, they won me over.
