If you walked into a shop would you find it offensive if the person serving smiled and said 'Tremendous'. Not necessarily refering to your cleavage but just acknowledging that you looked good. Offensive or would you take it as a complement?

Well you say not necessarily referring to my cleavage - so is there room for thinking he might be referring to it? - the word 'tremendous' in it's self is acceptable - but any remark about my cleavage is unacceptable....
Having said that - if i walked into a shop and someone said anything complementary about the way i looked - i would probably **faint** lol

It seems pretty cheeky and like a come-on. If you want to pay a compliment, a non-offensive way of doing it would be to say, "You look beautiful today." "Tremendous" seems like objectification. You can avoid that by addressing the person as a full-person and not just her assets.

Depends on the guy...if he was like...ancient I'd probably be like..eww.
Most guys I think I'd take it as a compliment though, unless they were particularly creepy. Life's too short to be offended by things like that.

I think that it is a inapropriate comment to make when a person first walks in to a shop - even though it's well intentioned. Hello , can I help you? should suffice.

It would depend on what the shop was selling, and what mood I was in. If I was in a good mood then I wouldn't be offended at all.

I don't think I would be bothered either ay because I would be a customer - I don't think it is really an offensive word!

I would take it as a compliment but I might think he is a bit of a pervert as well! It really depends on the context it is said. i might think he was trying his luck!

Salespersons should not comment on customers' looks. Their main objective is to serve and to assist.
