I came here expecting to walk out and purchase several items that I had been looking for during my trip to Ecuador. Upon entering the store a man begrudgingly opened the door without even greeting us. He proceeded to follow my husband and I as we looked at several items and we even attempted to ask a few questions which he seemed annoyed to answer. Interestingly enough, a white foreigner was in there receiving lots of positive attention and we overheard the staff even giving her lunch recommendations. I left without buying anything because I felt so uncomfortable. Is there a reason certain customers are getting excellent attention and others are treated with disrespect?

Me parece que tienen esa mentalidad de porque ellos pagan a una empleada, se rebajan si atienden a un cliente. Fui con toda la intención de comprar pero al ver la mala atención al cliente, realmente me salí decepcionada. Esta de moda las RRSS pero la cordialidad siempre será importante al vender...
