Rank the Salesperson






In my previous post I mentioned how the Gremlin/Laundry Fairy had fun destroying our dryer. True to my word, we went shopping for a new one to have it replaced.

I thought of this question as I meandered through the appliance section of Sears yesterday with my husband trying to dodge the instant attraction the "Blue Crew" had for us, like sharks to chum:

 Who is the worst: Car Salesperson, Furniture Salesperson or Department Store Appliance Salesperson?

All three make my skin crawl the instant I walk through the door. It's almost like they can smell the fear. I wish I could wear a sign that says "Hi. I'm just looking." but I don't think that would even work. I feel like I can't even kick a tire, sit in a chair or open or close a door without the vultures breaking from their suffocating formation: constant circling.

My rank of annoyance?

1. Furniture
2. Appliance
3. Car

How do they rank in your book?

  1. This of course has no reflection on my Uncle who IS a car guy...he is certainly the exception and would buy a car from him any time! :)

  2. The cars guys make me the most nervous - I want to run when they start walking towards me. I'm OK with the others. I think it's simply a matter of comfort zones. I know a lot more about furniture and appliances than cars, so I'm more afraid of being steered in the wrong direction in the car lot. Dropping by from 31DBBB :)

  3. Haven't shopped for either in a long while so can't really comment LOL
    Oh but I can comment on the lack of sales people when you want one that is annoying. It is upsetting to go a store and need help and can't find anyone. That annoys me more than overzealous salespersons.
