destructive's latest entry and my experience at a grocer mart earlier. I'm trying to buy detergent but an over-zealous promoter person won't let me. Look, I just want clean sheet and any ordinary detergent will do. I'm not an effing Homemaker Goddess or anything like that! Quite frankly, I do not care about activated actions of Biozymes Pearls and I will not spend an extra 8 bucks on it. But noooo ... she has to harass me about it. >:O That kinda pissed me off and I only bought ONE item (my regular detergent) from the mart when I was planning to buy a few more other items. Well done, lady! You've cut down business for your employer!!
I don't know what mantras the store managers drum into their promoters' heads these days but I believe there are people like me out there who do not want your help unless we need to. So please do not follow us around like some lost puppies while we browse. You guys totally take the joy out of browsing for us. And besides, with you yapping beside me, it is hard for me to ogle, compare and browse. If I feel the pressure that I need to buy something just to get you off my back, I. Will. Walk. Out. If you look at me like I can't afford the shit you sell, I will also walk out. With that wad of cash in my pocketses. It is only fundamental. If you strip in front of me for a general examination and I start rolling my eyes and giggling, how would YOU feel?
When you approach me for the first time asking if I need your help and I answer in the negative, saying that I am only browsing, the only decent thing for you to do is take two steps back and give me some personal space to do so. Trust me, the chances of you getting a sale out of me that way is almost 100% if I see what I like. Of course, I am aware that you need to watch out for shoplifters or careless folks who break stuffs, but surely you can do that from a respectable and discreet distance. And not to worry about some other kid stealing your sales because I will usually look for the first salesperson who comes up to me when I enter the store.
But the worst of the lot is possibly the one who badgers the most and when I pick up an item which is of little or no commission to them, they just show me their nasty faces or disappear. I remember my cousin once had this huffy salesgirl who did that to him and he dug his nose and put boogers on all her merchandise. >:O He's a salesperson's worst nightmare. Another incident, he swap the L-sized men's briefs, which come in cartons, with the S-sized men's briefs. Oh boy, at least, all I did was leave. ^__^;
Moderation is probably the key. Though, I'd have to say that some of the best/decent salespeople I've ever encountered were in Brit-labelled stores like Marks&Spencers, Dorothy Perkins, Topshop and Miss Selfridge.
