All of this "how long does it take to get a response to a text" just comes across to me as overthinking. For me, when I am shopping, I want my SA to be focused on me, not their phone. I would imagine that other clients want that as well, so for me, it's okay to wait a while for a response and I generally will caution when I do text that it's not urgent and they can get back to me when they have a few moments to focus on me.

Sometimes we say or do things that cause more damage to a friendship or relationship than we realised or intended, because they carelessly reveal something negative about us and what we think.
When that happens it takes a long time for those words or actions to be forgotten.
They cannot simply be put right with and apology or explanation.

A 100k wishlist is like a child looking through a toy catalogue and sending it to Santa at the North Pole.
But 'this', to quote Elliot in ET, 'is reality'. The deed was done; the damage was done; justifying the amount because of the base level prices misses the point of the observation. Once credibility is lost it takes time to regain: small careful steps not false gestures.

Sorry but the SA had immediately responded to that list initially very positively. You think this is source of the problem?! And also positive response immediately for looking out for their time when I said it’s long term list no need to get all just yet. We were then chatting all was well until the appointment time Was to be confirmed.

I like to think I’m a reasonable person, of Course always allowing that they are Very Busy. i think it was just that they always responded so fast before, that I had unrealistic expectations

Yes, I do. The source, compounded by all the other little things like the vacillation over the watch (which you will now justify).

There is vacillation over the watch in this forum only! I only responded to them once about it and it was yes I want the watch.

Unless I’m not the only one who thinks store staff check these forums.

If we believe that SAs read these forums, running ideas like this over a public audience was probably not the best thing to do.

So I’m not the only person who thinks store staff might check these forums. In that case I completely agree with you that they may have been turned off by my postings about the watch and I was ready to accept that.

I object to you misrepresenting anything I have written.
The comment that you selected to quote was nothing to do with anything that you wrote and in a different context.
You must have trawled through everything I have posted to find something I have written in the hope if discrediting my observation.
.
I did not state that store staff were, or might have been, turned off by your postings about the watch.
My observation about the watch was based on how you had described what you had done and the thought processes you shared on here.

It is manipulative to conflate the two.

I think what people are trying to explain is that it may not be that you are having a hard time but, rather, a normal H experience. And, if you are unhappy with the pace, Hermes may not be the company for you as their sales model is unlikely to change any time soon.

lol let’s let readers decide for themselves. Oh wait I forgot it’s mainly a mindless echo chamber in here where newcomers are gained up on. not talking about actually helpful responders of course.
