This is a relatively small blinds shop situated on Clarkston Road that I was dragged into about a year ago. The story goes that the mother suddenly decided she wanted all blinds in the house and was going on secret surveillance mission to investigate when my dad was working.
On one of these surveillance/investigative missions, I was recruited under the guise of 'going for lunch'. This did eventually involve lunch but first there was a forty minute trip to here. The staff were extremely pleasant and very chatty.
However, I did feel they were rolling out the sales patter a little bit too much. Though, the mother didn't notice thing and thought they were just being very helpful. While I thought I recognised it as trying to secure a sale; something which I reckon I can sniff out pretty easily after almost a decade of working in customer service roles in one form of another.
Despite the smallness of this shop, they did have a decent range of stock and products which was nice. The prices, I think, were reasonable; although this is not an area which I have much experience in and one which the mother seems equally ignorant in.
In the end, no blinds were bought so I'll let you make of that what you will. Worth having a look and definitely a chat with the staff if you are considering the purchasing of blinds. read more
