Bucherers Covent Garden…
I went into Bucherers Covent Garden store today to purchase a Rolex. I’m disabled and rely on a walking stick. The gentleman that opened the door for me was a true gent, he asked me to remove my cap (which I always do when entering indoors) and my sunglasses, no problem. The other members of staff, totally ignored me, the girls stood there chatting oblivious that I needed a member of staff to help me.
When a member of staff did acknowledge me (a Far Eastern male) I asked him about a Rolex Perpetual with the blue face, they are hard to get hold of, he sarcastically replied “I’m not a watchmaker”. Then I asked him about a Rolex submariner, he just pointed to the display.
I’m a very proud South Londoner and I have a very thick South London accent, the staff in the store where the snottiest and the most arrogant shop assistant that I have ever come across. I’ve just lost my wife, the last thing I needed today was snotty nosed staff looking down their noses at me!
When I purchased my Cartier from Watches Of Switzerland, I was treated like royalty. If this how Bucherers treats their disabled and customers who don’t speak with a stuck up accent shame on them! I will spend my money where it is appreciated, watches of Switzerland!
