Phoned with a query about a machine repair. Received a helpful response, with reassurance about Covid-safe systems in place.

I walked in (with my dress on) asked for a tuck in around the bust area and they measured me right there and then. I was in an emergency (event next day) and they had my alterations complete within a few hours. Very impressed, an excellent first experience getting this sort of thing done!
