[QUOTE="Party Monger, post: 1891459, member: 12884"] Is not just about online vs offline its about organized retail vs mom&pop shops and family business that are big but still run personally. Lets take for example clothes- I used to go to this shop, which is a very big clothes retailer in my city. When I used to shop there, the idiots that show clothes used to be more arrogant than most of our bosses, making snide remarks. They made faces when you ask them to show more, or when you want to try more than two-three. My parents used to nudge me to try just one or two and buy everything I need quickly. Those idiots used to recommend me stuff that was extremely stupid and doesn't fit me even now that I have grown two sizes. :banghead: Parents trusted them and they had a good collection but the use for me was NIL. Enter Lifestyle. I have never visited that shop again though my parents still go. I go to Lifestyle and try as many as I like in multiple sizes to see what fits the best. The employees are almost dying to help me in what ever way they can. I kid you not. This lady was getting me stuff from various brands once she understood what I liked and was such a big help and did it with a smile. And this has been my experience every time even though i prefer to do it alone most times. And you can just roam around pick stuff you like and try, cant ask for more. Even the prices come to same after discounts and I don't end up with 1 in 5 pairs that are good, All my clothes are amazing with variety and spread across brands, colors and even sizes(since i'm between medium and large). It is a huge help and i cant wait to show those bastards the middle finger if I go to that cunt of a shop again. Clothes Shopping is no more a traumatic experience for me atleast :D Maybe I am a demanding customer but I absolutely recommend LifeStyle for anyone for clothes shopping. Even ttheir in-house brands are premium with decent price-tags and great fitting. And its not remotely downmarket like bigbazaar and even pantaloons and reliance clothes mart or what ever they call it, with just 3-4 trial rooms >.< These guys had close to 20 trial rooms on mens floor. Though its less at times like on Diwali, most times its very accessible. And everyone just wants to help you :D With regards to online is the same with electronics like pen-drives, modems, books, etc. For higher value purchase I have figured out places in city that have a good mix of price and service and since I know a lot of stuff and they dont have much scope to bullshit they generally behave and play fair. All you need to do is check online once for prices and forums for the latest hotstuff. I will switch to something like flipkart etc for phones and other electronics when they are more experienced in dealing with sittuations and matured to a profitable model.
