Good stuff, bad English. In this past month, I've been to Jakel 3 times. Yup, three freakin' times. Oh sudah tentu bukan with The Diver... well once, with The Diver, tu pun lepas dia kenyang makan nasi lemak Tanglin, so he was happy enough to drive me there. The two times I went was with my partners in crime la, Pretty Zienta and cuppacakes. In fact, last Friday afternoon after our free lunch-cum-meeting at Concorde's Melting Pot we went straight there. (Agak kantoi kalau orang ofis baca blog aku ni, but what the heck)
I have a lotta respect for this Jakel sales people. Now this is the customer service that most retail outlets should emulate, they will consult you on the type of colours, materials, etc.. for whatever baju that you want to make. And they're quite knowledgeable I can tell you that.
But the best thing is, the salesgirls really know how to sell, and I mean SELL. They'll say such thing as, "Kak, kain ni bagus kak, chiffon pelangi, akak putih OK pakai macam ni" or "Saya potong eh kain ni kak, pakai credit card pun boleh...." or even "Kak, this one bestseller kak - last few metres je ni... nak habis dah ni kak lepas ni takde pattern macam ni" or.. "Tak beli pun takpe kak, saya nak tunjuk je..."
They even have suave floor managers that act as "fluffers" - their floor managers are usually guys in their early 30s, with Beckam-like hair, Raoul-like shirt yang probably dia beli kat Jalan TAR and jeans that will sweet talk the garangest of makciks into buying cloths that they don't even need..... Best of all, these fluffers can even give you discounts. Cool.
But the one that got me was this:
I was looking at this REALLY nice chiffon new arrival with geometric patterns... and was really contemplating on buying. But they're a bit on the pricey side la RM265 or something... So I told the salesgirl, "Takpelah dik, lain kali..." She kept on pestering me to buy, and finally said, "Kak, nanti malam tidur termimpi-mimpi kak..."
Now THAT really got me. Sekarang aku tidur tiap2 malam either mimpi kain tu or the dress that I saw at Ikano which is an exact replica of one that is RM100 more expensive at Great Eastern Mall. Heheh...
To The Diver: jangan lupa beli itu dress OK. Thanking you in advance.

I think Jakel is a franchise business, betul tak? My work colleagues also rajin merambangkan mata kat Jakel.
Oh yes, memang buat termimpi-mimpi. That's exactly how I feel right now, plus gelisah dan menggelupur takut the kain that I want [tapi tak beli] habis.
Such wonder how kain and stuff can do to us huh.
"tolong layan 3 bakal mak mentua saya" hahaha..." akak punya pasal saya kasi free lining" hehehe
Aritu at one function I dapat voucher frm Jackel bt you need to buy a certain amount (dah lupa). I was like, beli rmxxx baru dapat rm50 off worth it ke?
PS: nak? ;)
Janji tak mintak duit shopping.
Nanti I belikan baju tu. Sebab dah promise.
Dnas, yup it's a franchise business started in Segamat if I'm not mistaken. Orang Johor, sebab tu over.
Chics, dah berapa malam I mimpi kain ni...
meandmylife, hahaha.. lupa nak letak line tu "akak punya pasal.."
nor, you should go! just give it a shot.. but memang worth it la..kain dia cantik2.. and if you don't want the voucher... you know who to call.. hhehehe
SD, i tak high maintenance, contrary to popular belief
Now lemme see.... yang floor manager tu nama dia Shaiful Izhar. Tu menantu tokey tu.... Kalau betul dia boleh kasi discount giler punya.
Ampun tuanku.. Jakel ni kat mana, beb?
