Yeomans

It’s a wonder this shop does any business. The owners could give masterclasses on how to repel customers.
I went in two days ago, looking for a summer jacket. It was mid-​morning and quiet. The owner (I assume) was busy scanning in some new stock and chatting to an acquaintance. It’s a tiny shop, so he couldn’t have missed me, but there was no greeting or even eye contact. His assistant (wife?) also ignored me.
To see if it would cure my sudden onset of invisibility, I went away and looked in Millets and Mountain Warehouse. Neither had anything suitable but the staff at Millets were at least helpful and friendly. The one assistant in Mountain Warehouse was too busy to offer much help.
I returned to Yeomans. The owner had finished his scanning by then and, after a pause, managed eye contact and a question about what I wanted. I led him to a rack of jackets that looked possible and told him the size I was looking for.
He found one, stuck it on a hook without even removing it from the hanger and went back to his counter. There were no other customers at the time and no more scanning to do.
The jacket didn’t fit but I was so fed up with the attitude by then that I wouldn’t have bought it even if it had.
A few minutes earlier I had bought some shoes at Track & Trail, just up the road. That’s a shop that understands customer service. (See my review on here.) They didn’t have the kind of jacket I wanted, otherwise I’d never have tried this place.
