“Shirt -stripes” is unambiguous to a system, yet the first result on Amazon(.ca) is a striped shirt, and the 3rd is sweatpants.
That's the sort of thing I'd expect Amazon to be doing?
“Yes, I would like an unstriped dress shirt please”
“How about this striped shirt?”
“No thank you, I would like an unstriped dress shirt please”
“I have some lovely jogging pants”
“Ok, I need to be clear here, I would like a dress shirt that has no stripes”
“Can I interest you in a white undershirt? People who buy dress shirts usually buy undershirts”
....
T: I think pink would look good on you, and it's very fashionable right now.
You: Just bring me some yellow shirts to try.
T: Oh, I got these, and brought this pink one anyway; try it!
But, of course Google isn't making fashion suggestions. But then, ... the tailor might also be just trying to shift excess stock or be on a bonus for selling that particular high-cost shirt.
They can certainly also bring some stock to shift, or offer suggestions while I’m trying something on, but if they aren’t listening when I make a direct request or when I clearly say no, then they aren’t really there for me, their customer.
I’m an odd one that I already know specifically what I want to buy before I search for it, but I’m certainly not the only one (and I think everyone has done that at least once).
