I've noticed that they seem to push products when I go to a MAC counter rather than to a freestanding store.
I've had good and bad experiences with MAC MA's but mostly good. 7 months ago I lived in Clarksville, TN and my friend and I would take trips to Nashville (which really isn't that far) to go to the freestanding MAC store at Green Hills Mall. I LOVE them there!! They are absolutely amazing. One girl began to recognize me because of my way of going shopping there. Before I leave the house I make a list of everything that I want to look at and swatch. Everytime I've walked in there, I've always been greeted and asked if I needed any help. I tell them that I'm just looking and they'll see the list in my hands. They'll let me look through my list while working with other customers (which I don't mind at all cause I can take a long time doing swatches), but during the time I'm there they still always make eye contact with me and check in on me occasionally to see if I need any help or just to spark up a small conversation. They are by far, my favorite MAC store.
When my husband and I moved to Fort Bragg, NC (where I am now), I had to come to the shock that there are no freestanding stores in NC (appalling I know!!). There is however, a MAC counter at the Belk store which is only about 5 miles away from where I live (a lot closer than 50-60 from clarksville to nashville). One of the girls at the counter was very sweet and very helpful but the other one was a complete dits at times. However, since I've frequented the counter, she's started to recognize me and I think she's realized that I know more about MAC makeup than she thought I knew, and I've actually began enjoying going to the counter there. Granted they don't have stuff like the pallettes or the pan eyeshadows, but it's not like I don't visit Clarksville very often or anything. Anyhoo, the biggest difference I've noticed between the freestanding store and the counters, is that it seems like they try to push the products more at the counters than they do at the stand-alone stores. Maybe its just cause the MAs at the stand-alone store already know who I am but that's how it seems.
