I detest this form of retail sales, and has even prodded me to buy more things online in order to avoid these gnats.
You aren't the only one. Every try grocery shopping with kids when they strategically place the bubble gum and candy bars right where they can reach them knowing mom is unloading the cart, watching the register, and paying the tab?
Radio shack, who wants contact information even if you're buying a battery.
I tell them I’d rather not and they let me skip the personal intel briefing and just go ahead and make my simple anonymous purchase. I don’t care for any catalogs or to part of a customer demographic with my personal contact information data available to be sold or traded with third parties.
I hate shopping period, and absolutely hate it when retail sales follow me around the store asking me constantly if I need help...I want to look around first and focus, then if I'm ready to buy, fine, but if they keep coming over to me, it disturbs any focus and I leave...and go somewhere where I can seriously eye browse and think about the product...picture it in my home, etc.
I do a lot of online shopping and am never really dis-satisffied.
Do you work at Dillard's? I was curious why you started the anti-Dillard's thread.
What i hate, is well i take my time shopping, read lablels, look at everything, sales items, new items etc, in grocery or a retial store.
I hate the fact, that these days, you cannot take your time reading lables or looking at certain items of interest. Without, having eyes on you. That drives my Italian Temper, CRAZY. Then they come to you, may i help you with something, you seem to need help. No i don't i like taking my dang sweet time, and that is my business.
To avoid so much of the crap, i do buy online, have sites i have been dealing with for years, make deals with them, get bargains, can't if you do not ask, and i get my deals and then some, which in stores, i could not do.
What i hate is the store is going to have a huge, sale, or going out of business sale. Lo and behold, the prices seem to get raised, before putting the prices down. A manager in a large major department store, even confirmed my suspicions on this.
You think your getting a hek of a deal, your really not. Or guess what, the business never went out of business.
I hate employees, that are of no use, you ask them a question, and they are like, ha what! drives me nuts, so much of time, i am telling employees infoirmation i know of that they should know, as i just did with BESTBUY. I knew 2 new model microwaves that were out, and the model numbers, the checker, tried to tell me there store did not have this item, it did not exist. Oh yes it did. He checked this book, and there it was, had to be special order a new samsung microwave the largest one out there, but they had it, and i knew it was on sale, the checker did not even have a price for this. What use are they.
Petco had a sign "Do you want to save an animal's life?" as their prod to add to the debit card a donation to xx charity.
Of course I want to save an animal's life, but I resent being asked in that particular tone. It cost them a donation.
