Rude, distracted and extremely arrogant, the woman who served me was more interested in ducking and weaving around to look at people exiting the store to make sure they hadn't stolen anything. Very bizarre behaviour. And there appeared to be more SAs than customers which made her look even more ridiculous - surely the other 5 could keep a discreet eye out to allow her to concentrate on serving a potentially paying customer. Definetely won't be going back there again. Oh yeah, I know which one you’re talking about.

It's easily explained in my case though: I love perfume. I'd rather buy something I like now instead of being good and waiting like I did for The Body Shop's Aqua Lily which I can no longer buy in the shop in Adelaide!

I got a strong feeling that that perfumery wants to protect its testers from people who come for randon spritzes, as you can do with abandon at Myers and DJs. The treatment I got was a mixture of condescension and outright rudeness. It was full of customers tho', especially as it was the lead-up to the Spring Racing Carnival.

Sells a lot of bling-y jewellery as well. One SA was pleasant but as for the other ... It’s in the Royal Arcade – hope that narrows it down enough? Sells a lot of bling-y jewellery as well.
