That sounds like what happened with me at Best Buy.
I'm just playing a Heavenly Sword demo at the PS3 booth and some guy working there walks up behind me. "Okay, I wonder how many times this guy's played the demo. Better yet, how many times has he watched other people play like this," I thought.
As I walked off mid-demo, I was checking out the PS2 games and he walks up and asks if I need any help. I say no and keep looking. A minute later he walks up and asks if I have a PS2. I just look at him, say "yeah" and walk away to the PS3 booth again.
It's not as bad as your story, but the way he seemed to be pressing himself onto me was kinda weird.
[QUOTE="EnigmaticBeauty"]The point is, the customer can ask themselves if they want help or not. The whole point of being a sales assistant is to assist, not badger and interfere.Schumach5
Have you ever worked in retail? Just taking a shot here, but I'd say no. Employees are FORCED to be pushy and seemingly clueless as to when to stop. The reason I quit working retail. It's completely stupid, but it's business, and it works. If employees don't meet a certain amount of reserves they get penalized. Yes, things SHOULD be the way that you say they should be, but that's not the way businesses are ran, get used to it or buy online.
Before I started writing full time, the only job I did was working in a Library. I understand that is what the job entails, that is why I tell them to leave me alone, if they don't... I complain. I like shopping in peace, not having to listen to some guy saying how wonderful a game is. Another thing is, most gamestop employees don't know much about videogames, I once asked a Gamestop employee, when Bioshock was being released and his reply...
"Err I'll check the computer, bear with me"
Bioshock... only one of the biggest games of the year and he needed to check the computer and a lot of them are like that.
