Annoying, pushy salespeople at Malls

    How annoyed do you get at those pushy salespeople at Malls? You know the ones that usually have a kiosk in the center of the malls as you walk. If you make eye contact with them they immediately try their sales pitch, and it is always useless garbage they are selling like overpriced lotion, wristbands that they claim give you better strength and coordination, overpriced soap, and other garbage.

    I don't understand why the malls let these scumbags set up a kiosk there. The stuff they are selling is usually 5 times cheaper at Walmart or Amazon. Not to mention the cell phone jerks who start yelling "whats your current monthly plan" to you halfway across the mall.

    One of these people got an attitude with me when I refused to let them hook me up to some electronic machine that measured cholesterol or something. I should have knocked his entire display over.

    The other day I had a cell phone guy put a cell phone in my hand and say "here you can have this" but it was a scam just to get me to talk to him. I was eating a pretzel too, he interrupted my meal. But he wouldn't really let me have the phone unless I signed a 2 yr contract.


    That's what I do, but they have been yelling and getting attitudes about that lately, like they are looking for a fight or something. I usually just walk by and try not to make eye contact with them, but they sometimes will follow after you to try to sell their garbage.
