I bought a shirt the other day - I wasn't going to, but I had a voucher that was going to expire in two weeks, and I had to get something nice for this 21st I am going to next weekend. So I'm in this particular store, I see three shirts that I like, well, quickly whittled down to two, and that one was too light anyways, but I need to try the shirt I liked in medium.
The guy brought me some sandals to try on, to have a look at, this new season's stuff is nice and comfy - yes, it is, and yes, the sandals that I am wearing are crap, but that is the whole point, I don't think I will ever get fancy sandals, but I just came in to get a shirt, I don't want and more importantly do not have the money for $90 sandals.
Oh, but we are doing a deal in watches at the moment, half price for these ones, what a nice season's range we have - no, I am fine - oh, but you are buying a 21st present, maybe the person would like a nice watch. Umm, no, it's a workmate, not only is a watch too personal a choice for that sort of relationship, but I have a set budget in my head for what she is getting, and a watch, half price or not, doesn't come into it.
No, I didn't say that stuff to the guy, but I thought it - I hate oversellers, and I hate it when people at work say I am in sales, no sorry mate, customer service is my primary concern, sales is for those people who have the confidence to sell, I might have it, the confidence, but I don't really care one way or the other.
Anyways, I ran away from the store with only the one shirt that I was meaning to buy in the first place, and may not be back for a while. It was kinda lucky that the guy didn't hit my secondary weak point with clothes shopping, ties.
