The saying that bugs me most occurs when i’m shopping, looking at some item and a saleslady comes over and says “that’s our most popular (purse) this year”.
Big turn off. This says they’ve judged me as someone that would want the same purse that everyone else has.
Altho my daughter, who used to work in retail says that is what they tell you to say when you see a customer looking at something.

Entire books have been written on this topic....ALL of which make me nauseous. I’ve had managers in retail situations who would MAKE YOU read them and follow suit, depending on which PHONEY approach they found the most effective in TRICKING people into purchasing a given item. High pressure sales has GOT to be one of the least desirable features of the modern “shopping experience” out there. Coming in a close second is all the useless garbage that’s offered for sale.....grrr......
