best case scenario : comes back out with the Starbucks I registered almost two years ago for

Good luck with the visit but the only Starbucks could be of a different variety

Smart man. Happiness is a function of expectations.

If it’s a Goldsmiths you should at least get a free beer out of them ��

Never new Rolex ADs sold coffee but good luck if you mean a Rolex watch.

Clearly friendly face approach is not working, try an opposite approach!

I expect a class act like Dennis would be successful.

Well, times have changed. I used to be able to rock up perhaps wait 10-15 mins if my contact was busy to then have a chat but new faces in there now with my contact, who was the manager, retired.

She handed me over to someone who would look after my registration (who subsequently left) and I was put onto a new person.

Was told the person who's list I am on was upstairs and to come back in 15..came back and they were now with a customer.

What really nailed it was what happened next, woman said contact, who is the new manager, would be at least 30 mins and I said can I book an appt for later today then told they were busy all day with almost an impatient 'just leave' feeling about it. She offered to check my registration list and pass along that I had popped in but I declined and said I would email as I'm aware the manager is solely responsible for allocation decisions (confirmed by my previous manager contact) and left feeling rather awkward.

That is 9 years with this AD and 5 watches purchased but in retrospect I should have made an appointment but feel at this point I have zero connection with them and just back to a guy walking in off the street vibe.

It doesn't sound like you were very welcomed at that visit. I hope you get the call for your LV soon.

That’s pretty disappointing. If there is another AD nearby, I’d reach out to them
