As an 82 old woman I, at least expect a bit of courtesy and even assistance
from a store clerk. I got neither at this shoe store at Del Monte Center. Apart
from being a "senior" I could tell from the clerk that he could not have cared
less if I even made a purchase. He was disinterested in making an effort to
help me choose a pair of shoes. I left the store feeling very upset and vowed,
I would never recommend this store to any one in my family or to any
friends. If only store clerks/owners realized how much damage they create for both the customer, and the business when they fail to make
a customer feel noticed, or important. I worked a lot of years as a
Department Store clerk, and I know that each and every customer I
served, felt happy with the way I treated them. Shopping for most
people, is not that much fun to begin with, and if the store clerk does
a good job of taking care of a customer, it is a good outcome for
everyone. Life is not easy for anyone these days and a bit of concern,
and empathy for everyone is so needed especially, when one is old.

is not like the country I grew up in. My grandmother was revered and
so were all the old people that I lived in my neighborhood.
