Having worked in sales, I very much doubt you were more annoying than the median customer.

- TrevorJ 17y agoHow true this is. I can't express how much I agree with you here.
- Confusion 17y agoActually, he might have been much less annoying, as he showed an interest and probably listened and posed proper questions. I don't think there is anything more gratifying than someone wanting to learn from you, actually being interested in what you say and asking the right questions.
- mseebach 17y agoAn honestly curious customer with an open mind gets to ask as many questions as he likes. If you're excited about what you do, initiating that excitement in someone new is very rewarding. I suspect that's what happened in the jewellery store. And that goes both ways: nothing is more annoying than a clerk who doesn't know anything, and even gets the information on the label wrong.
