[nfbwatlk] Shopping with a clerk

[Jedi]

Yeah, i could see calling ahead to a store where you know it's likely 
to be busy or understaffed, particularly if you really like to give 
that store some business. I could even understand calling ahead if 
you've got a big shopping list. But for one or two items, or for a 
store that's well staffed at a non-busy time? That's a bit ridiculous, 
especially if other customers aren't required to do the same thing 
whenever they need help for something.

But as a matter of reference, I'd recommend Trader Joe's to any of you 
with one in your town. I've never had a problem geting help there, and 
the staff are specifically trained to be extremely courteous to 
customers no matter what their needs might be.

Respectfully,
Jedi
