Thread: I hate when sales people bug me.

I completely understand she has to do her job, but imo there is only so much salespeople can actually do. Asking me if I need anything four times in the span of 15 minutes is past being helpful.

Yeah, generally there's someone watching.

My best coworker friend has a crush on the girl trying to sell those Dead-Sea/nail buffer kits, and used to beg me to go with him....

If that doesn't melt the ice, then I don't know what will.

It's their job....haha. It's like how waiters/waitresses come to your table a bunch of times asking how things are, if you need anything/etc. Sure it gets annoying.....but I'm glad they ask. I'd rather get annoyed by them asking me a bunch of times, than getting annoyed when I can't find a salesperson, or they just ignore me.

I think that in a small store a polite "Hello. Did you need any help today?" when the potential customer first enters the store is sufficient. If the reply is in the negative the salesperson may offer a reminder that they are there if needed and that's it. Anything more is pushy and irritating and I can't imagine it produces very good results.

It helps reduce shrink. Someone is a lot less likely to try and steal from a store when the employees are following you around asking you if you need help every five seconds.

people usually act at their job how they were told to by their boss, no matter if fat hormonal bitches like it or not
