I've seen something new and excitingly terrible in both Sears and Home Depot recently. They have dedicated sales people whose sole job is to approach customers and try to sell them on credit cards or kitchen remodels or whatever high profit thing they are pushing at the time. They presumably work on commission based on the hard sell and they have no knowledge like the real salespeople. They're basically training people to say "No" to people who approach them in stores. Very short-sighted.
