Customer Service Starts With a Hello
I went to the Clarks store in Wolverhampton today to buy my son some trainers for school. We went upstairs to the kids’ department, where there were no other customers, but there were at least six members of staff standing around.
I walked in happily and said hello, but unfortunately, nobody greeted us back. They just seemed to look into space. I eventually asked for some help, and a young lady came over. She was actually really helpful, measured my son’s feet and recommended some trainers for him.
Unfortunately, when it came to paying, I couldn’t use my card because it was on my phone and my battery had died. One of the male members of staff kindly offered me his charger, which I really appreciated, but unfortunately it didn’t fit my phone.
I had to leave to go to the bank and withdraw some cash. However, while I was out, I decided to go to Sports Direct instead and ended up buying my son’s trainers from there.
The reason I’m sharing this is because first impressions really do count. If you work in retail or customer service, something as simple as greeting a customer, smiling and showing a little enthusiasm can make such a difference.
I’ve worked in retail myself, so I completely understand that it can be tiring and you’re not always going to feel enthusiastic. But when you’re on the shop floor, you are the face of the company. A simple “hello” or “can I help you?” costs nothing, but it can be the difference between a customer staying and making a purchase or choosing to spend their money elsewhere.
I do want to acknowledge the two members of staff who helped us, as they were kind and helpful. My disappointment was simply with the initial welcome — or lack of one.

Great Customer service!!!..We were served by Lamees at West Brom New Square Clarks.It was great service, she helped a lot and was very polite. She asked lots of questions to help us with finding the right shoes. Thank you, she was a star.
Excellent service
Will was excellent, endlessly patient in supporting us with getting our children's school shoes
Disappointed
Used to be able to rely on Clarks' stores for fitting childrens' shoes. Not any more! recently bought shoes and they did not check the width, length or fit.
When complaining to customer service was fobbed off with stupid comment.
Not the service of old but then i suppose what is?
Amazing CHAE at the Birmingham Bullring store
Visited the Birmingham Bullring store and was helped by CHAE - I dreaded going back to this store for my kids school shoes but CHAE has restored my faith in this branch. She was ever so patient and caring, took onboard my concerns. She checked the fit around my kids ankles and how the shoes bent inwards across the foot while walking as well as the depth across the top of the foot and didn’t just offer the basic response - yeh there’s a finger space at the front of the shoe - when you ask the assistant whether they think the shoe fits well.
CHAE didn’t just try and sell us what’s in stock as previous sales assistants have done, she took her time even though the store was busy and found the right shoe for my kid. Fantastic customer service, keep up the great work CHAE and thank you.
Thank you Joe.
Joe was so helpful and extremely patient with my fussy daughter. He executed all options and in the end came out with a pair of shoes. Thanks to Joe and the other 2 staff who helped out.

Very good service thanks to Tasneema…
Very good service thanks to Tasneema and Amat.I recommend coming here for multiple reasons and one is that they are very kind and positive to everyone.I just went and got a bag and shoes for my son and they actually spent their time to help us.They told us the discounts that we didn’t know about and we even started talking about our country.We thought they were Pakistani but they were from Yemen and they thought we were Turkish but we are Iranian.Thank you for all the support.

Eleanor from Clark’s Bullring gave us multiple options, we did not feel rushed and she was very kind. You are lucky to have her on your team. And Clark’s has always been consistent with service and quality anyway

Brilliant Customer Service in Whiteley.
We have just been to the Clarks shop in Whiteley, Hampshire. We were served by Ella-Mai, who was brilliant. My daughter has very wide feet, but is also 9 and starting to be really bothered by what she wears. Ella-Mai was patient and helpful, and we found a pair of shoes that worked well and kept everyone happy. Really brilliant service today :) thank you so much Ella-Mai!

Excellent customer service
I honestly cannot praise Mo at Clarks West Bromwich enough. From the moment I approached him, he was absolutely brilliant professional, friendly, patient and genuinely went above and beyond to make sure I was looked after.
What stood out most he took the time to listen, explain everything clearly and made the whole experience feel effortless. Nothing was too much trouble, and his attitude and customer service were honestly second to none.
People often only leave reviews when something goes wrong, so I wanted to make sure I took the time to recognise someone who deserves credit. Mo is an absolute credit to Clarks. Staff like him are exactly what great customer service should look like.
If you’re visiting Clarks West Bromwich, I genuinely couldn’t recommend Mo highly enough. 10/10 service, 10/10 attitude and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Clarks should be proud to have someone like him representing the business.
Thank you again, Mo genuinely one of the best customer service experiences I’ve had.
Great service at the Fosse Park store
Great service at the Fosse Park store - we were served by Kelly who went out of her way to make buying our first pair of school shoes a special occasion.
Clarks Nottingham
I went into Clarks in Nottingham recently. The shop was busy and after choosing a pair I approached a young lady for my size. Her name is Imogen and she was really helpful, and was very pleasant to talk to. Excellent service from her and a credit to the shop
