This is why i buy MAC products online, i love MAC products, but i absolutely hate the service i get from them. I think its the same in Singapore and Malaysia, employees from MAC are very snobbish, i walked in and no one bothered to serve me because i wore plain t-shirt and jeans, and they only bothered to serve people who dress “impressively”. Not only that, the employees were mocking me behind my back, and only stopped when i glared at them, and also only then, they came forward and provided assistance. I have went to most MAC counters in Singapore and 2 from Malaysia, and only 1 in Singapore was okay. Maybe its just in Singapore and Malaysia, because everytime i go somewhere else like Hongkong, they serve me readily. I hope MAC would do something about this, everybody hates their service attitude

Hey ladies, I’m sorry to hear about those horrible experiences! Well actually it is a mac policy thingy to only do one eye because they do makeup services and in the past ppl chose not to have the service as there were many people who just get a free makeup session. So we have to try to understand that business standpoint. I might agree some sales personal are simply horridious, I have had some really great experience with a couple of mac assistant.

Actually they are the same the world over…
France and London…the same..
If you are dressed like Liz Taylor or had the face of Liz Hurley, they gush all over you…
Hallo…if I have the money to travel half the continent to your country I surely have the money to buy your stuff even if I dont dress myself up – both face wise and dress wise…
Just boycott their counters…

My dear, u guyz havent seen nothing yet… mac’s hospitality here in malaysia is terrible.. I went to mac SOGO, and told d lady there i needed mac studio fix, can u imagine wat she me, dat my colour is not available for test trial, so i should pick up a colour dat she ‘guessed’ should be my colour. so i was suprised, i mean dis is meant to be a registered Mac outlet…its not done anywhere in d world.. i could as well have gone to a fake low classed place, coz i felt so degraded and insulted… i mean WHO doesnt know, dat u hav to test ur make up first B4 buying it, especially an xpensive brand like mac?? even d way she acted was totally bad… Mac is terrible…

so far i’ve only been to 1borneo KK’s branch. This MA call sylvester greeted me. he is damn nice. he served me and gave me advises. when there are other customers coming in, he’ll ask me to wait and he’ll be back in a while. he was so so so polite. i asked him about some foundation stuff and i didnt expect him to give me a sample! it was so nice of him. I’ll definitely go back.

I was going to purchase quite a bit at Mac but have also run into snotty, rude, counter workers and would rather spend my money elsewhere.

Yeah i had the same experience twice… Bought compact powder which was 2 tone dark frens thought i went for extreme sun tanning… i agree that MAC SA sucks big big big big time… I feel like slapping them.. especially the B****es..

But they earn good money and i guess it’s this pride that made them into they are now.
