Dispelling Register Rage

manual call forward queuing

In the VSMD article on “Register Rage” by Robin Donovan, salient points are driven home about the newly “monikered” phenomena known as “register rage.”  The article points to the glaring omission by retailers who while embracing cool, new, grandiose ideas are ignoring the basics – such as –“stained carpets, dressing room doors with broken locks, blaring ads over a junky sound system and helpless salespeople.” All reasons why people would never come back to a store or in the extreme case be so fed up as to exhibit register rage.

Retailers need to be honest and be consumers in their own stores.  Is the store welcoming, is it clean, does the store offer a pleasant environment to be in – are customers being handled in a fair equitable fashion at checkout, how long are customers expected to wait in line – or is there room for improvement?
