Not always the case. Often location or branding is what counts. There could also be a 'cartel of bad service' across similar shops.
Many shop assistants are college students. How are you going to stop these people from leaving?
Maybe they are the best staff you can get. Over the last few years, it has been pretty difficult to hire staff.
I find Tesco (various branches) terrible for this. Sometimes there is no price and only an "out of stock" notice even though the goods are on the shelf. I wondered if it might be down to the outsourcing of some (a lot?) of shelf stocking to suppliers rather than it being done in house? Anybody know? It wouldn't be so bad if they had price checking scanners around the store allowing you to check the price yourself.Just off the point a bit. I noticed a lot of poor pricing of goods in Superquinn Blackrock with no prices at all for some products and other products not matching the prices displayed.

For a shining example of how customer service should be done, I'd recommend going shopping in Singapore
... barked at me that they were really busy
I personally hate it when shop assistants don't leave you alone. I was in a well known clothing store in Dundrum recently when i asked twice downstairs & once more upstairs 'if i was okay?'. Like, go away!
That is because wages in the American retail sector are more commission driven than over here. Minimum wage there can be as little as $2-$3 dollars, therefore earning commission is a necessity.I was greeted and asked if I wanted any help. When I declined, I was left alone and when I required help, they couldn't do enough. It was totally different to what I have experienced shopping in Ireland....
