Recent experience at Double Monk

I recently went to Double Monk last week at lunch time and boy did I feel like the shop keeper did not want me to be there. I had just finished work so I'm in corporate attire, wearing some nice Italian GYW shoes but wow - he barely looked up and acknowledged me.

He barely moved from the exact spot he was standing in for the ten minutes I was talking to him, barely making any other facial expression other than complete deadpan - so odd.

I also felt he was talking down to me because he was flexing his knowledge of violin waisted shoes enhancing comfort and elegance.

Then before I even tried a shoe on, he asks me if I want to buy something today. Then I said, no I want to try them on first. He proceeds to tell me that he has no laceup shoe in EU42 in the store, so I left and then tells me I have to pay a 50% non-refundable deposit if I want to try on a shoe.

Honestly one of the weirdest encounters I have ever had.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?
