Worst thing to say to a salesperson.

BillyGoatGruff · 03-02-2010 02:57PM #1

What is the worst thing you can say to a salesperson if you plan on getting their full attention. Things that makes me lose interest straight away are.

1) I'm just looking today.

2) I'm just looking for my friend/brother/sister.

3) Anyone with a sense of entitlement.

I must just be a bad salesperson.

I hate it when sales assistants pounce on you before you've even had a chance to look around a shop

You're fat and your odour offends me.

I've been eating Wotsits all days and I'm just going to sift through all the velvet ones before I decide which one to buy.

Thanks.

I'm just having a look in your store for what I want, and then I'm going to go online and buy it much cheaper.

happyoutscan · 03-02-2010 03:08PM

I'm not a complete moron, therefore I do not need your assistance in any way, shape or form so bugger off and leave me to my task. Or something like that.

I have a variant of that were usually i go to a shop ask for a product or type of product then tell the shop assistant they cant be serious with that price and that i can get it for a 1/3 of the price.

They usually retort with no you cant, and I leave the store

Depends on the shop back in the day when I had a clue about PC's and stuff it was great to watch the Assistants in Dixons faces drop when I asked "whats the chipset on the motherboard in that PC".

"I'd read about you on the Rip-off Ireland forum, and I wanted to see if you really are a bunch of robbing over-charging bastards, and it's not looking too good at the moment I might add"

"I'm definitely gonna buy something"

Or the smart sells assistant reminds you that they're store has to pay rent, electricity, staff wages, insurance, advertising, training and many many more costs besides and that if everyone bought online then the country would be in an even ****tier situation than it as now as the entire retail workforce would be without work.

Then I tell them that if the store sacked them they cut subtract the cost of their wages from the products im buying. Which in many cases would be a bonus as I find sales assistants useless especially in any tech related purchases.

Can you do any better than then that? Que angry face from salesperson.

MaybeLogic · 03-02-2010 03:28PM

I don't get the OPs premise.
Are you a salesman?

Edit; he only says so at the bottom of his post, innit?

The worst are the people that work in Claire's Accessories.

Their preppiness annoys the bejaysus outta me.

Do they have pieces of flair?

"I had some crazy kinky sex with your mum, girlfriend and sister last night!"

Not a salesperson specific thing, but nasty nonetheless....

Then show them the pictures.

AnonoBoy · 03-02-2010 03:40PM

"Do you sell creams for highly contagious skin conditions here?"

Then try and shake their hand.

Correct.

The things you mentioned are easily overcome.

Worst for who?

For customer - Good day, I'm just dying to spend my money, can you recommend anything?*

For salesperson - Fcuk off*

*(also could be seen as best thing to say)

To get attention:

'DUH I'm stoopid and need to do something with this wad of cash, can you help me?'

To get rid:

'Fuck off you dick, if I want to be screwed up the ass I'll just go and pick up a nice bum boy comin out of the joy!'

This would be a great place to work if people like me didn't have the nerve to bother you!
