The pressure is on to get a kitchen design going. Let's not even imagine how much work that is. After messing about with some ideas of our own, I say to Andreas that we need to pick out appliances/sinks etc. He's not sure why, except that I say we just need to.
I, of course, have in mind some of the things I would like. Being a trained chef, my kitchen is uber-important to me!
Off we go to a local "appliance store". After wandering about for half an hour, eye-balling all the items on display, we have to approach the counter to get some assistance. The woman who helped us was less than enthusiastic, and seemed to only know the in-depth details about one particular brand. We suspect this brand is one that she gets a good commission on. After speaking to her for about 10 minutes and not getting great information, she begins to warm up...and then announces that the store will be closing in 15 minutes. My whole customer service background and experience revolts, considering that if she took a few minutes to ASK us anything she would soon realize we have the potential of giving her a $15,000 sale.
Needless to say, we are checking out the competition next week.
