A memorable trip to Black’s in Bromley…
A memorable trip to Black’s in Bromley ahead of my trip to France to walk the Camino de Santiago.
All three assistants in the shop were a great help, particularly the young man who served me and took the time to talk through every stage of my preparation, talking me through all my options and great length and earning my trust when he made it clear he wasn’t trying to upswell me. More of this please. A shop assistant who is actually interested in me and my story as a customer. A personal touch which made my time at the shop today enjoyable and not a chore as retail shopping so often is. He added a personal touch and went the extra mile to help me, even sharing a bit of his story along the way.
The only trouble is, I didn’t get his name!
He’s a Sheffield Wednesday fan who works at the Blacks in Bromley. On my receipt it says “Asst: 009:” and “Clerk: 007:”
Let him know!
And furthermore, he was patient and understanding when I decided not to buy everything on my list as I couldn’t find what I was looking for - he wasn’t pushy and he was more interested in my buying the right equipment for my trip for what they had in store on the day - not trying to trick me into buying stock that’s gathering dust.
Anyways, just a pleasure to deal with and it left me feeling a part of my local community and even more excited to start my Camino.
Thank you,
Benedict

Visited blacks in Bromley today to buy a pair of Magnum boots. Assistant was very helpful and attentive to my needs as I have a really bad leg. She was very knowledgeable of the product I requested and nothing was a problem to her. I ended up buying 2 pairs thats how good she was. Happy days! Look after this one she's a keeper!!
