What? "...their helpful staff you". It doesn't make sense without the word 'assists'. What do you mean?

It's evident that the sales staffs had been trained to be persuasive and convincing so that they make sales, So by avoiding them you may save alot of money on unnecessary purchases.

Sales staff aren't bad people. They are doing their job. If a person falls for it, it's the person's call and not the poor staff.

So I would just enter a shop with a long face and be hostileeto sales staff because I don't want to do impulse purchase. Can't do that.

On the other hand there can be cases when we can expect better deals and discounts when we are friendly with the staff

Recently, 2 store clerks were not very polite and/or were not having a good day.

The 2 said that my debit card was refunded. I was polite and asked if they were sure. The 2 acted as if they did not want to be bothered.

About a Random Act Of Kindness...

You know those debit card questions that ask you how the salespeople were to you? I chose the big smiley face selection.

I felt like saying a few choice words under my breath.

My debit card was not refunded until this morning!

that could also be possible. They would even be the ones to inform you about a price reduction.

I rather have sales rep that are my friends Some are very honest and would never push you to buy what you don't need. They would rather let you know the availability of things that you highly need.

I am not friendly with sales staff. Especially the ones that are hawk for these multi level marketing companies. They can easily persuade you to because they use manipulative tactics.

Even when you are frowning, some crafty sales staff would use strategy, penetrate through your harshness and still push you to buy what you didn't want. Have self control.

That's my philosophy, and I swear, everywhere I go I get fantastic service. Shop assistants just want to be treated with respect and a smile doesn't hurt - same as everyone!

Some of them are already maltreated by their bosses. You don't know what that smile of yours means to them.

I agree. This is a very small thing but can be really useful and it doesn't cost to behave well with everyone

This is one tip here that I feel does not hold water in modern civilized existence. You can't adopt a posture if harshness all in the name if hoping to savw.

We need to check with different stores to get discount on products but another theory will say we get better deals on stores from where we buy all the time

It is not something that is compulsory. It is not part of the code of conduct of purchasing.
