The short version is 7 seven staff members standing around, and not an ounce of enthusiasm or customer service from a single one of them. An impressive display of whisky, but that's where the impressiveness ends. Read below if you want the details.
A group of friends clubbed together for a friend's birthday in Dubai. We went in to collect, an order worth over £900. There were 7 staff standing around doing nothing. Not one of the 7 even acknowledged us. We approached one and asked to collect the order. They brought out a bag, and we said that doesn't look like everything. They assured us it was. We couldn't check because it was all wrapped up for travel. We pushed and they went back to look, and sure enough, there was another bag. We then asked for an invoice for airport security. They couldn't print one apparently. They also couldn't be less interested in offering any other solutions. When I asked for a bit of customer service, they suggested emailing them the invoice from their system, so they could print it.
It was a Thursday afternoon, and we'd just bought £900 worth of whisky. We fancied a bottle or two for ourselves. We asked a few questions, and again, it was as if we were interrupting their day by daring to be a customer. They were not interested in selling us anything or providing the slightest bit of customer service or enthusiasm.
We left having not tasted or even sniffed a whisky, and not bought anything for ourselves.
