Pushy salesmen. Do you crack under pressure or feel less compelled to buy?

[Mickey Eye]

I walked out of buying a widescreen TV a few years ago because the sales person seemed to think it was her mission in life to force an extended warranty on me.

walk out... use google research product.. come back and buy whatever it was without the salesmen.

I never walk into a store without knowing exactly what I want to buy and what I'll pay for it. That is the Ferengi way.

i love the salespeople at best buy, they're all friendly and knowledgeable. Especially those "Geek Squad" guys, they're awesome!

love = wish painful death upon
friendly = stoned high school dropouts
knowledgeable = know jack about sh!t
awesome = effin worthless

less compelled

 

[Fritzo]

I research the hell out of something I'm going to buy. If a salesman is involved, it's probably a major purchase, so it's in your best interest to do this. With the Internet, I usually end up being more informed than the salesman, so they don't tend to get pushy.

i never buy stuff from salesmen...unless its something useful, like a nice vacuum or somehting.

I never talk to salesmen, they are a useless annoyance that anyone with a brain need only call when time for them to get something off the top shelf. Car salesmen are useless also....I already know what I'm paying before I ever get to the dealership.

I concur...

agreed....

I'll walk at the drop of a hat.

Whenever a salesman comes near me and opens his/her mouth I immediately speak and say "I'm just looking". I don't give them the chance to give pressure. I typically go to at least 3 stores before making a big purchase to compare goods/prices, so I am being honest.

Then if I do have a question or want to buy, I'll go to the salesman who didn't approach me.

If you push, you push off.

 

[radioouman]

I never buy from the salesman. However, I do keep asking questions and leading him on like I will buy, and then I back off and walk away.

 

[Patt]

I never buy if a salesmen is pushy. I'll give them two pleasant rejections before turning and walking away. Same policy for telemarketers.

 

[hypn0tik]

I hate salesmen. I used to be one last summer so I know a lot of tricks they use. Now I just avoid them or I play their 'game'.

 

[djheater]

I generally want to punch all salespeople in the face.

I'm a "leave me the fvck alone" shopper. I can appreciate being asked once If I need any help, and when I say "no thanks" you better leave me alone or I'll leave.

I take a LONG time to shop and I don't like being distracted while I'm making my decisions...
