I cant remeber the name - Is it Cardi's furniture right on the RI line going down 95?
We walked in looking for a couch, saleswoman came up, asked if she could help - we said the typical "just browsing" response.
She tailed us thru out the store.. Always about 50 feet behind...
We start to leave, noticed her getting closer, we sped up, she sped up...
She didnt give up till we hit the doors .... "Excuse me!!! Excuse me!! during the entire escape.

I think it's common in furniture stores. They work some kind of rotation, so if it's your turn, when your mark comes in you make sure if they want to buy something you get your commission.
I have a 17 year old daughter working in another aspect of sales, waitressing in a diner. She comes home every night with stories of people running up big bills and completely stiffing her on the tip. I guess I didn't realize how manyinconsiderate people are really "out there".

Desperate is right. Most sales for commision folk make zip if they don't sell. If they don't sell, they draw against what they're expected to. Tough job.

My wife has this thing about me acting odd in public.. Had I been alone, or for even more fun, someone like likwid, then it would of been more entertaining.
I love to get salespeoples hopes up... Then shatter them... Not ALL of them mind you.. just the obnxious ones.. |
