You're Not Wrong
Even in the good old US a Walmart, Circuit City or Home Depot has an assitant who tracks you down, asks if they can help .. appears to take genuine great delight in doing so and asks you to have a nice day.
Does that happen in ASDA, Currys or B & Q ?
Yesterday Mrs DG (who wants us to have a new state of the art home cordless phone and answering machuine) spent 10 minutes in Currys in Bluewater just trying to find an assistant.
