No - despite being a regular myself there is little recognition from the staff and that despite the fact they know I am staff. Thanks, Paul! I thought it might have just my personality! The wages are not very good and I imagine that the job can be hideous when the place is besieged with school trips or else legions of families during the holidays. As I'm sure you know dealing with the public can leave a lot to be desired at times! Indeed I do understand that. I'd like to think I never look as though I'm fed up with having to do something, though. :-) ut then he's not often about the place. The rest of the time a questi That said, I have encountered such an attitude when it's patently not been busy. I spend (perhaps too much!) time and money in there and the staff nearly always seem to look unhappy and behave as though serving me is a real chore. When one lady was extremely pleasant to me last week, it was an unusual enough occurrence for me to notice! I think I know which lady you are referring to. She was so "switched on" I actually wondered if she *was* the shop manager. I saw her later that same afternoon on the Admissions desk, though, so I suspected not. Now that I know the shop manager is a he, that sort of confirms it! Strangely the shop manager is very helpful if you ask him a question b on about the availability of a model or a launch date or a request to reserve something is met with a pile of lame excuses as to why it isn't possible when I know full well that certain people can get all sorts of things reserved! I've never reserved models there because, despite being a "Friend", I've never been quite sure how to do so. (I ought to read my mailing properly, I suppose!) Oddly enough, it was while enquiring about one of the new "Sunstar" RM models that I had one of those occasions when I was obviously far too much trouble for them. Then again at an Acton Open Day. Then again when enquiring about a DVD....... Perhaps I really should have written to the Museum rather than airing these things here, though....... -- Ian Jelf, MITG Birmingham, UK Registered Blue Badge Tourist Guide for London and the Heart of England http://www.bluebadge.demon.co.uk |
