There is enough evidence to suggest that the servicescape has a strong impact on consumption experiences. Similarly, most services are characterized by service encounters. That is, the interaction between service staff and customers throughout the entire service process. Therefore, customers evaluate service consumption experiences by paying a lot of attention to both servicescape and employee interactions.
