The real-life equivalent of this is one of the main reasons why I prefer to shop online (except for groceries). It's just not possible to study the products without a "Can I help you?" salesperson popping up next to you after a minute.

- michaelcampbell 6y agoI love our local Ace Hardware (and I have a soft spot having worked part time for one many decades ago), but the amount of "can I help you" when you walk into the store is almost suffocating. To their credit, they do leave me alone once I get past the initial onslaught, and are GENUINELY helpful if I need help after that and seek someone out, but yeah, I feel you on this one.
- jimktrains2 6y agoI'd counter with nearly everyone goes away if you say "no thank you, just looking" and there is a non trivial amount of time that I actually do need help, the person is fairly helpful, especially at my local hardware store and smaller stores.
