The document summarizes Elaine's observations during visits to several stores. It notes that an Armani store had a simple, unassuming entrance but was large inside with products arranged by function. A cosmetic shop had interesting salesperson uniforms but nice staff. A jewelry shop recommended heavy lipstick on saleswomen to catch attention. A photo studio had well-trained smiling workers and a romantic rose smell throughout.

1. observations
-------Elaine

3. • Actually this Armani logo didn’t catch my
attention before I entered, the door was
open, the sign was simple, I wouldn’t
notice this store if I didn’t know this
brand…
• Everything was just.. Simple.. The
environment was not loud at all.

4. • The salesperson followed me for a few
minutes, my friend was with me, she was
not well-dressed, I could tell the unfriendly
expression on the salesperson’s face..
• This store is mainly for male style clothes,
but the customers are mainly female..

6. • Oh well, this store was pretty large.
• The shopwindow was really light and
catching (that’s mostly because I like this
style :P)
• The ceilling was high, looked like a small
palace inside, products was arranged
according to function.

7. • BUT..
• It’s getting into winter, the salesperson
were too busy with stocking ， they
ignored the customers …

8. • This is a
stylish
cosmetic
shop…
the
picture
catches
me

9. • But the
uniform of
salesperson
was…urm..
• Weird…
• (in the middle, 3
women with purple
socks)

10. But they were nice anyway 

12. • Oh this is a jewelry shop, very nice one..
Nice salesperson, good service…
• I was just wondering why the saleswomen
all wear very heavy red lipstick..
Maybe to catch our attention
about what she wants to say..

14. • Narrow space…
• (No customers at all within the 15 minutes
I was there..)
• The salesperson won’t talk to you much,
even though you were trying to speak to
her…

16. a photo studio…
well-trained workers. Smile all the time.
there was rose smell in it… romantic
smell..
the studio rented the whole building..

17. • Beautiful
window!!
!
• Um…it was an
accident I saw
them smoking
outside..
