You have to inform five different sales people in the same store that you're just browsing.

I have left stores before because of that! I'll generally tolerate the first two, but the third one? Third strike, and I'm out of there. What that tells me as a consumer is one of two things: 1) you as a salesperson have nothing better to do, or 2) you think I'm a shoplifter and obviously not to be trusted. Either way, it's really very demeaning.

One time, though, I did have some fun with one salesperson that I could NOT shake. I sent him to the back to look for some obscure item, knowing that it would be a full 5 minutes before he got back with it that I could shop in peace. When he came back, I looked at it, said, "Oh, no, wrong color," and sent him back looking for another one. By the time he finally got back, I was checked out.

Cheers,
