I once got indifferent service from an over-hyped bike shop here in the cpt northern suburbs... And then afterwards didn't start a thread about it. True story!

On many occasions, did I receive the same no-care service from CWC Green Point. 

Certain staff members just don't care about your business enough I guess. 

 

But, on some occasions, I've had very good service from the same shop. It depends on who is there to receive you on the day. 

 

Not a shop issue, but rather a staff issue, unfortunately, your employees carry your brand and public perception with them.

Flip me, I am no great fan of CWC, but is it reasonable to take the trouble to write a whole post every time you get indifferent service?

 

Having said that, with the ease and speed of online shopping (maybe not currently as speedy in SA as other places, but no doubt soon will be), as well as the changing expectations of the younger generations, retailers that don't quite quickly work out how to make a visit to their stores a great experience every time will really suffer as people will generally opt for the easier option if there is not a compelling reason to actually visit their shop. And, if they try and compete exclusively online, they need to recognise that their competition suddenly becomes a global competition, where those who can offer price combined with no questions asked backup will ultimately Come out on top.

 

One or two less engaged and committed employees negatively impacting the perceptions of 40 or 50 visitors to your business every day could lead to hundreds of people leaving with a negative opinion every week. Extrapolate that to months and years and you quickly realise the impact that this can have on a retailer. Poorly engaged employees are only like that if leadership allows them to be, so there can be no blaming them for this situation.

 

Sorry, ranting a bit. Hope it makes sense

I regularly buy from CWC online. I have been to Greenpoint store 3 times while on holiday. Each time I left without buying anything. Only once was help offered. I don't go there anymore. I buy online and have the stuff delivered 2km away! To me CWC is an online store that has always given me good service. The shop is exceptionally meh.

And don't forget the handwritten notes you sometimes get with the online orders  :thumbup:  :blush:

^^^^^^ This ^^^^^^

 

Except it is 600m from the Greenpoint store.

 

This branch is tiny compared to the Online and main store (both of which I still use) but is regularly slated for it's poor customer service.

 

Each time Greenpoint is raised, the faithful come out and defend the owners and each time I wonder whether the disciples have actually experienced the service levels in the Greenpoint store or are basing their defence on the rest of the business.

 

Either way, the disproportionate rate of complaints about the lack of attention and interest from the staff in that store ought to have been addressed by now.
