My husband and I are, ahem, opinionated and get a lot of pleasure out of sneering at ugly furniniture. Hard to do when some eager-beaver twit is following you around, saying, "Isn't this set marvelous?" I hate furniture stores with pushy, follow you around salespeople.

But to get ignored in a place like Staples is poor customer service and just plain rude.

I guess I have "poor student" written all over me and they decide I'm not going to get them any sort of sizeable commission.

What makes it worse when I go into a computer store is that I own a Mac. Karen: I've had that experience on occasion. I'll need some information about a product, but the entire floor is deserted. Yes, I had a great day. :) Michael: I've got trouble written all over me. :D Either they smelled my intentions or mistook them. The salesmen at these stores are all alike--lazy or overeager.

Sounds like trouble to me. ;) I often think these people that work at Staples, Best Buy or CompUSA have been specially trained to "sniff" out the people ready to purchase something. Maybe there's some kind of strange holographic scan field that you walk through that tells them you're ripe for the pickin'...who knows. These days, a scenario like that wouldn't surprise me. ~m A woman with no make-up, wearing a black sweatsuit, going into a COMPUSA store early in the morning….Hmm…

I can't win, but it sounds like you had a good day out regardless of the salesmen. :) I find that when I want help, there’s no one around…and when I’m just wasting time every salesperson in the shop hassles me.

LOL. Sorry. I'm usually ignored in shops, apart from tiny cameras tracing my moves. :) Did your shirt have a print on it that said: I have a hard time leaving a computer store without buying something. ? were you fully dressed?
