Perhaps if Chris hired in the odd Celebrity Lookalike

For crying out loud they are sales people not personalities
Bruce Forsyth would be expensive to employ and probably
not too gen'ed up on Pentax gear anyway

Like a 'Who's Who' of butterfly's all very well captured.

I like the ladybirds best and the flash reflection isn't
taking much away from the picture.

The original complaint was:

"Is SRS in Watford under new management...just wondered as
we went in to their shop today and didn't recognise anyone
in there... "

Just because the OP had previously been to the shop, doesn't
put the shop under contract to always have the same staff
on the sales floor indefinitely... In any case Chris has
said most of his staff have been with him a long time and
I'm sure that it was a case of the OP not recognizing
them.

I've only bought from SRS over the phone, but have always
had excellent service from them.

My local dealer (now gone bust) used to assume that
everyone came into the shop to have an argument
with him

Complaining because they didn't say "Have a nice day!"
like Messups do!

A private email to Chris would have been better and
more tactful rather than tell the whole world.

If anyone complained about any member of staff, one of
the UK's top portrait photographers use to always reply
I'll sack them immediately which used to make
the customer think well they weren't that bad and they
used to calm down and say something like.... I wouldn't
go that far... it was probably partly my fault anyway

It's a pity that Chris has to waste his time answering
silly posts like this one

Are you sure you went into the right shop?

Did the sign above say SRS or "We Saw You Coming"

Nice shot... a very underrated lens

Spend the money on drugs and include a 100m sprint
and double decker bus jump at 50m.....
Aim for a World Record of around 4.5sec...
Give a 500kg Special Gold Medal to the first person
to do less than 5 secs.

Aren't they all on their extended summer break!

When did their 30 day Easter break end
