<p>[QUOTE=&quot;srkjkd, post: 318716, member: 7248&quot;]I worked in a retail jewelry store from 1985-1989. i would do sales, some goldsmithing, running the account books for store- financed customers, and was also able to be a part-time coin dealer and appraiser while working there. the majority of our customers was due to&nbsp; service and hospitality. we were able to do repairs on jewelry&nbsp; as well as having a watchmaker (repairer) on staff. we were able also to handle estate appraisals due to having a&nbsp; GIA (gemological institute of america) graduates. people could maybe buy a ring cheaper at a major chain jewelry of dept store, but they couldn&#039;t get the service and education. incidentally, the store is celebrating 49 yrs of operation w/ sons as owners. the main store is still at its same location and the second store in a nearby, larger town is celebrating close to 28 yrs.&nbsp; All of this&nbsp; simply due to treating every customer the respect, honesty,&nbsp; courtesy, and excellent customer service. if only more businesses would be like that.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
