Does talking to sales persons make you uncomfortable?

My father in-law gets stuff mailed to him with the return envelope prepaid. He stuffs everything back into it and sends it back to them on their .43 cents. (.43 is that right or has it gone up?)

I have heard people doing that to credit card companies since when you get your bill you get all the advertising for other stuff with it.
 
Once I needed a new CB radio and went to radio shack to buy one. I noticed one was 140 dollars and another was only 60 dollars but yet they both have the same features and are both radio shack brands. So I went to a sales rep and asked why is one priced so over the other? Then he just read down the list and I told him that he just read the same thing but in a different order. Then he said he didn't, then I asked well why is one priced greater than the other then? And he said I just told you. That's when I left to another radio shack and bought it there cause I didn't want the guy there to get any sort of sales commission.
 
I hate those middle mall walk way sales people. Especially when I got hustled to buy $300 of Dead Sea cream. No idea how it actually happened, but the girl was super pushy and I bought. One of the very few times Ive been scammed.
 
Dudes, I get pretty anxious every single time I go shopping, especially clothes shopping. I feel immense pressure, I even start sweating heavily.

Grocery shopping is a bit different, but to this day I still cannot "shop". I have a mental checklist of things I need, which are more similar to mission objectives, and I go in to compete the mission.

I do all my clothes shopping online now. This got particularly bad in Sept/August when I had no job and unlimited free time. If I was at a computer, I was online shopping for things.

And when it comes to people asking me for money, I am really terrible. I was sitting in my car in a parking lot once, and some guy asked me for some money to help him work a job in a city an hour away. "Gas money" he said...I gave him $20. TWENTY DOLLARS. Without even thinking. I then watched with a sickening feeling in my gut as he walked away and approached another person.

He could have easily gotten to where he needed to go with that $20. God, I'm a ****ing idiot.

so one Saturday morning there is a knock at my door. I open it to find an AMAZING looking woman and she asks if I would like to watch a demo for some vacumm cleaner (probably kirby or rainbow, can't remember). I say sure and invite her in and watch the whole show knowing full well I will not be purchasing this expensive vacumm. This lady has the lowcut shirt on with the push up bra, skin tight pants and everything. Well my wife was upstairs sleeping the whole time and came down on the tail end. She was not very happy with me and stated "you know full well if that had been an ugly lady or a man you wouldn't have done the demo." I sat there dumbfounded and couldn't answer because no matter I said, I was already in trouble and didn't need to dig a bigger hole. Just thought I would share so none of you make the same mistakes I did

As for being pressured, I don't get bothered by it too much. It is there job. I will just politely let them know to leave me alone and if they hover over me, I will just leave and go to another store.

This sounds the beginning to a good porn.
 
LMAO, I work just of Oxford Street in London so I get appraoched about 5-6 times a day so I'm very good at saying no to people. I know when I go to lunch in a minute I'll get appraoched by at least 2 people as I do every day.

I can see why single women and elderly people get scared though, I've had two men in my home before, a window salesman and someone from British Gas quoting for a new boiler and they were pushy to the point of aggressivness. The window guy in particuar had another man with him and was trying to give the impression that he wouldn't be leaving without a sale even though he was quoting double the price of competitors. The gas saleman was telling us to ignore the APR on the credit agreement as it was irrelevant.

I'm a guy in my 20's, 6'2", 215lbs and these guys are using intimidation tactics on me! Imagine what they're doing to the 85 year old 100lb old lady down the street? The problem is that unless they swear or actually touch you there's not much that can be done

But Tony, deep sea cream? LMAO, I know I should be more sympathetic but that's funny, did it improve your skin tone and give you a smooth radiant glow? ;)
