How do you guarantee you're getting someone who speaks English? Just curious which areas are better at this.

We moved south of DC over a year ago, and I am amazed at the great customer service here. We live in a fairly rural area outside of a large city and even the larger dept stores (Kohls, Marshalls, etc.) have people who know the store and are very helpful. I love it!

We also try to do most of our shopping elsewhere and on vacation, when possible. Middle class stores here pretty pathetic and picked over.

This and the employees barely know anything about the merchandise and barely speak English. Not a good combo.

I also do the same.

Congratulations. Now go back to your bunker.

Yeah. Okay whatever OP.

And have American accent? Queen's English ok or you wouldn't understand them?

Asking for retail help over the phone in this area is a disaster.

Do whatever you need to do, dude.
