The Salesman Curse

Whenever you walk into somewhere and are looking to buy something that is going to cost you some serious money like the Audi R8 or a brand new cooker or perhaps even a new HD television, is it just me or are all the salesmen always trying to get you to buy the most expensive thing out there and they will never, ever take no for an answer.

So let’s look into what kind of salesman is the worst out there.

It really depends on what you are after but unless you are buying something quick like a computer game then you will usually find someone running up to you the second you get in the door because even this people tend to get commission on the things that they sell you. The major issue with the sales people is that either they are people that are very stuck up or you cannot understand a word that they are saying.

Then they will always think that you are stupid and know nothing about the product you have come in to buy which is why they will always offer you the most expensive packages out there. The great thing is that when you do actually know something about the things you are buying it can be really funny to see their reactions when you correct them or tell them that you do not want the most expensive item because you know for a fact they are trying to sell you it for its price.

I in fact once walked into Game to hear the question, “When is the Xbox 360 out”, to my amazement the guy behind the till said, “Let me go and check with the manger”. I immediately interjected with the correct answer which is why, when I was at a store selling games in my earlier years I waited to be asked rather than approach people for no good reason.

The next part of this article will talk about the car salesmen who always try to sell you those very poor used cars among the new Audi for a surprisingly worrying cheap price.
