High Pressure Salespeople
i cant stand it!
i go shopping to unwind and to keep my mind off of stress...im looking at a rack and this sales woman comes over and questions what im looking for, how great this dress would be on me, etc..
i make the mistake of telling them im looking for a dress for a Sunday afternoon wedding and they all come over grabbing dresses for me to try on
before i know it, the whole store staff is grabbing dresses for me.
i tell them, i need to look at whats in my closet and that im just browsing. to throw them off i ask when they are open on saturday (im NOT coming back saturday)
they tell me to "Try something on so if you come back, you can just buy it"
i finally say no.
when did shopping become "make up excuses to get out of the store but not hurt anyones feelings"
i am sick of it. i just want to browse. if i need help, ill ask!!!!!
anyone else sick of the pressure from salespeople???

Re: High Pressure Salespeople
I usually have the OPPOSITE problem! I don't know if I look young or if I dress down when I go shopping, but I can never get the salespeople to give me the time of day! However, I am sorry, I am NOT getting "done up" to walk through the mall for 2 hours on Saturday morning before I hit the gym.

Re: High Pressure Salespeople
I use shopping to unwind too. I can't stand it, all these people up my butt and too the left... I can get really snippy. My line now is "when I need your help, I'll ask for it".

Re: High Pressure Salespeople
There's a Kenneth Cole by my office that I won't go into anymore because of that. Don't these salespeople know that "just looking" means "go away and leave me alone!"

Re: High Pressure Salespeople
That is really annoying. I used to work in a clothing store that paid commission and I would never "attack" the customers...if the salespeople knew any better, they would just wait for the customers to come to them...I hate when they are pushy and up your b u t t..

Ditto in Macy's. I couldn't believe they were yelling at me. Then nobody would ring me up they were all pissy with me so they made me stand there with my shoes for 10 minutes. I was not putting down those Michael kors shoes, if they weren't on sale and so cute I would have threw them at them.

Re: High Pressure Salespeople
Everytime someone askes me for help I always say I am just looking. I actually try to avoid Macy's to buy shoes because their customer service stinks I think in that department. They all have attitudes and get nasty with each other, especially the one in Roosevelt Field. I use to work at the Limited and we were told to greet every customer and ask people but I really didnt like to do that because if people needed help they asked.

Lmao! My friend had the same thing happen to her in the shoe department in Macy's. 2 people helped her b/c she couldn't find the original person and they both got so mad at her and basically said something similar. Lmao. She didnt know the rules....
And as far as annoying salespeople, yes, I have had many of those experiences, and it sux!

That's what I do too. I HATE being helped by salespeople unless I need them which is rarely. It annoys me to no end! So i usually just very abruptly say - im just browsing- to whatever they ask me and keep looking and that always works! They say well im here if you need - i say think you and keep walking. whatever you do - DON'T make eye contact or be too nice

Re: High Pressure Salespeople
I just walk out of the store... I hate PC Richards... we always have salesmen walking and following us.. ( they work on commission) so its like hunting to them.. I make sure I say very loud and clear... " Ugh, I hate when people follow me.. Ya know what.. Lets go to best buy.. They aren't as annoying"

I absolutely HATE when salespeople do that to me.
Because of it, I usually just walk out, and they end up losing my business, even if I did want to buy something.
Like you, I like to shop to relieve stress, and that just makes the shopping process stressful.

The shoe department in Macy's is the worst! Those people are very rude. I have done that too and gotten the attitude, but you know what F them!
If the first person didnt take a 1/2 hour to come back in the first place, then we wouldnt have to put 2 people on the same job
