- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoYes? That's pretty much my experience.
- onlyfortoday2 5y agoLOL okay bruh
- sethammons 5y agoNot all sales is the used car guy trying to pull a fast one on you. Any decent sales experience is party A understanding the needs of party B and providing a solution that both parties accept. Good sales leads to both parties being happy. I say thank you to the grocery clerk because I want to give them money for food and they say thank you because they want my money. I'm happy to be eating.
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoThe grocery clerk isn't trying to market anything to you, they are merely handling a transaction.
- Silhouette 5y agoAnd yet there is a good chance that almost everything about your visit to that grocery store was steering you to increase the amount you spend while there. On the other hand, if the store didn't put things you might want to buy out on display, no-one would be able to browse, which a lot of people enjoy and/or find useful. So where is the line between unfairly manipulative and simply showing what you're offering and inviting someone to buy it?
- Dudeman112 5y agoIf they could, approximately all sales-y and marketing people would be happy to make 7 billion people pay them 20 quids for a pound of horseshit. So would I, the difference is they are regularly paid to try and do it.
