Context: MC is having lunch with his office's colleagues, inside a coffee
shop. They're talking about the shop owner. The MC asked "Does she handle
everything in this shop alone?" Then one of his colleagues said "No, there are
other part-time girls working here too".

After this there is one sentence which I don't understand, so many thanks if
anyone can explain to me its meaning or correct my understanding if I was
wrong.

> MC「この店、店長がひとりでやってるんですか？」  
>  吉野「バイトの子も何人かいるよ。出来れば見せてあげたかったんだけどね」  
>  MC「吉野さんの知り合いとかですか？」  
>  吉野「いや、ぜんぜん。顔なじみといえば顔なじみだけどね」  
>  **千倉「あればっかりは見た方が早いですって」** (my guess :"I heard people says that a direct
> meeting would be faster to know someone ,instead of just describing with
> words like you did." )

> ふたりの口ぶりからして、看板娘みたいな子でもいるんだろうか。  
>  個人的には、あの店長も充分に個性的な感じがするんだけど。

question
grammar meaning japanese-to-english video-games
What does「あればっかりは見た方が早いですって」​mean in this context ? (A conversation of MC, eating lunch with his office colleagues in a coffee shop )
見た方が早い means "It's faster to see it/him/her (than to be explained with
words)". This is a common phrase used when something is difficult to explain
but easy to understand if you actually see it. あればっかりは here means "At least as
far as that (person) is concerned", "At least on this matter". Describing a
person as 見た方が早い is unusual, so he added it to avoid sounding lazy or
impolite. So あればっかりは見た方が早い implies this バイトの子 is someone who stands out in
appearance and is hard to explain in some way or another.
