What would you do?
This actually happened to Brenda one day this week:
I had this lady in the bookshop who spent all kinds of my time asking me questions and having me look things up for her and recommend books. When she left the shop without buying anything, she complimented me on how nice the shop was and then said... "I like to touch and feel things before I buy them ON LINE!"
So, seriously folks, how would you respond?
