Just the other day, I was at one of their branches and wanted to see if they had a particular brand of perfume. Not much customers in the store. As soon as I lifted a bottle to test the fragrance, a pesky sales assistant came up to my side and asked me if I am looking for something. I replied, "Looking around only" in Mandarin and proceeded to look around the store. I could sense her and ANOTHER sales assistant following my behind. And then I walked out of the store. Without buying anything. I dont see why I should be followed like a criminal by aggressive, stupid assistants and yet the same time, pay $$$ for their salaries. :) The SASA sales assistants in Singapore operate the same way too.

I am using that daily too ^^ Tine, for the Cellnique’s Pro Sebum Gel, I think you can get it from Burma Road Cellnique’s Facial treatment Centre or another Symrou Beauty Centre which located at Jalan Perak near Sunshine Jelutong.

It’s definitely cheaper in Malaysia. Plus, I have to say, I was impressed with the service I received at the MAC store at Gurney Plaza, Penang. They’ve definitely stepped up. Hmm I wonder if they read my rant? [...] [...] Yep, it’s the MAC #217 (blending brush), which is going into my collection of makeup brushes. It’s definitely cheaper in Malaysia.

Probably few times but i ignored em. Probably because i already know wat i want when im reached the store, so i just tell the SA what i want and they get it for me but most of em are very helpful and nice. But there was one particular incident in MAC Lot10, i was enquiring whether they have a stock of Loud Lash mascara, she replied in one word "No". Puzzled by this i asked her again whether it is out of stock or been discontinued, she with the most unfriendliest face replied me in one liner AGAIN "out of stock". WTH..then out of nowhere, shes forcing me to buy Plushlash instead, i said NO coz i need someting waterproof, she answered me with the 'smartest' answer she could think of "its not like ur swimming all day, why do u need a waterproof anyway?" i swear i almost smack her face on the spot. I was really pissed off then stormed out of there. 'Magically' i met her again recently and she (still..?) working in MAC but this time in Sogo, basically my friend wanna get a powder but judging from her sarcasm, my friend rather buy cheaper drugstore brand than waste her money getting such lame service. Too bad, i forgot to check her name tag. Well for SASA, all of the outlets in KL & Selangor that i went, all sucks big time - all of their SA are rude, snobbish and i think they really really need to improve their services & be more customer oriented rather than 'being in their own world'. Most of my friends agreed with me, all they get for spending money in SASA is BAD SERVICE!. wat the ~ Last month, i went to SASA (as my last resort..i usually try to avoid SASA) to look for a body bronzer...and the SA looked at me with 'ONE KIND' and talked in cantonese with her other 'stupid' colleague - TRANSLATION: "wat the hell shes talking about?"(she probably think that i dont understand coz i speak English to her) while laughing at each other and looked at me like im some crazy lady then shoved a moisturizer to my face. -- im not a violent person but seriously, she deserve a punch in the face with that kind of attitude..I wont go to SASA ever again!

It's like they're forced to promote stuff, and don't seem to understand simple english sometimes. Not to mention snotty at times. Shameful!

Hear! There is a thin line between being helpful and being a pain. There is another thin line between being useful and being rude. MAC and Sasa never learnt how to balance on that thin line. I have stopped going to Sasa but even if I do go, I'll just say I'm browsing and ignore the SAs. After a while, they leave me in peace. My last 2 visits to MAC were largely ignored by the SAs allowing me to browse in peace. I think I wore my invisibility cloak that day ;) Hear! Hear!
