How does it make you feel when a store agent keeps coming back to you every 5 minutes asking you "Can I help you?" Do you feel pressured or uncomfortable because you cannot shop at your pace,or do you feel reassured that someone is willing to assist you in making selections easier?

Honestly, I really hate it whenever a saleslady gets near you and ask that question and after that she'd provide suggestions you don't even want to hear. This is especially when I'm looking for a particular thing to buy. I know what exactly what I want to buy. In this case, the saleslady would just be pissing me off. Another really annoying moment in stores would be someone following you just to well "assist" you or whatever. And at times it's weird that those salesladies aren't there when you need some assistance.

Around here, they make you feel like their job is to get on your nerves by following you through the store pretending to be moving things around on the shelves when they are actually being told to make sure you don't steal so they try to help you as quickly as they can so that they can get you out the store..its so annoying to me!
