Pushy salesmen

[sara]

The next time I go to the mall I have going to wear a shirt that says, No I Don't Want A Cell Phone! I dreaded every time I walked past a phone kiosk. I tried to walk fast and not make eye contact but they still kept yelling out to me. Next time I'm pretending I don't speak english.

Well I'm a cashier at Meijer and the past couple of days I've worked, I had to try to get people to sign up for a Meijer credit card that they use in the store. I'm sure people were very annoyed coming into a shopping store and being hit up for a credit card.

My daughter works at Meijer in Flint, Mi. She works in Receiving. She likes being in the back rooms because she doesn't have to deal with customers .

I love Meijer! Going there to return all of my mom's bottles and cans and using the money to buy booze for my party tomorrow.

I know what you mean. And then you tell them, "I already have a phone." and they say, "What do you pay for it?" HEY, THAT IS NONE OF YOUR F**KING BUSINESS A-HOLE!

If it's any consideration, know that those idiots don't like doing that stuff anymore than you have to hear it. They are taught to be pushy and forward and they are trying to make $$$$ and maybe commission and/or points. Points they probably earn towards something their company offers.

There is this others kiosk at the mall where I believe they sell lotions, I am not sure what it is, but I look forward to passing it just because the person is all happy and smiling and saying, "Can I ask you a question?" I say, "NO"...or I just wave my hand at them as I continue to walk by.

I act quite moody when they come up to me as I walk past any of the kiosks at the mall. I act moody and say, "No, I'm not interested" so they get intimidated. Seriously, if I were interested in purchasing something, I would go up to them. I hate when they come UP to me.

Yeah we don't want to do it any more than you want to hear it. It's just because we have to.

o0o I dislike those girls VERY MUCH. They always spray it on me and it gets in my mouth, Janice, I don't know if you've ever tasted perfume, but it's McNasty. On top of that, by the time I walk out of the dang place, I smell horrible.

Jesus, I make myself smell nice BEFORE I leave the house. LEAVE ME ALONE

/end rant.

I've had a few simiar experiences, especially while buying CD's or DVD's. I ask to speak with the manager and when the manager comes over, I calmly let him or her know why I will not be buying anything in their store and I leave. Customers should not have to put up with that kind of rudeness.

That was awesome. I can't stand those pushy salespeople either. I walk very fast and cover my face. I do like Sara's idea of pretending you can't speak English.

That's about as annoying as eating at Wendy's and bums asking you for money while you are eating.
