I don’t get why everyone is being so negative given that you’re likely to be successful in your own right and possess the skills to forge strong relationships with people.

First, yes, the salespeople at the boutique are rude, so it is different than how you say the UK is.

Second, I don't want to "build a relationship" with people selling me material items. That's not to say that I am not friends with some sellers in the watch world or that that doesn't inure to my benefit now and then, but I'm busy, I don't want to chat up or send cards to or pop by a store so that I have the ability to have them take my money. If anything, it should be reversed.
