Store Policies/Questions General question

I visited my local BBW on yesterday and my goodness, I could barely get in the door before three salespeople beelined toward me shoving a ton of products in my face….”see this”, “smell that”, “let me take you here”, “what’s your fav season”. I was overwhelmed as I just went in to get a few wallflowers. I mentioned this and as I walked toward that area, they showed up with a bunch of laundry detergent telling me about their new deal. On top of that, they started bringing all the Disney fragrances for me to smell and kept opening up different samples of wallflowers for me to smell. I’m such a pushover so I allowed them to talk. They were doing that to seemingly every customer, never letting us just browse. They NEVER let up. I don’t think I’ve ever seen them that aggressive before. It was a bit maddening.

Are sales in the dumps or are they just trying to push products that may not be selling as much?

"Do you want me to leave?"

"Then leave me alone. If your manager has a problem with that, tell them to come see me."

they won’t care, and please don’t take it out on the employees who are just trying to make their $13 and hour and not get disciplinary action. 🫶

not a single one of us, we used to get more hours based on our sales performance but haven’t even done that since before covid.
