Pushy sales associates
Shopping is often tiring for me. I'm sure stores are battlefields for both sellers and customers.
The worst case in action is possibly a women's cosmetics section. Although I understand those sales (mostly) girls are trying to meet their quotas and some of them are working on commission, the aggressive sales style disguised in a friendly support makes me overwhelmed. I often find myself hesitant to visit one of those counters even though some products interest me, just because I don't want to deal with the daunting sales approach.
Why don't you try online shopping instead, you might say, but most of the cosmetic products requires testing on your skin to see if it fits your cosmetic needs and preferences within your budget. And that is precisely why the companies let their sales people help and promote their customers in the "battlefields."
The holiday season is when these battles get most intensified. I didn't fight this year and I don't know if I will ever be ready for that kind of psychological war. Usually I simulate in my mind as to how I'll tackle the passive-aggressive enemies with information that could be useful for me. Or maybe I should summon a large group of friends to overwhelm them...thus the battle continues.

Are sales people just as aggressive in your country? As you already know, I don't like being treated like a cash machine by sellers, but also I understand the rather horrible situation in which they will be treated as less than humans if they don't contribute to the sales because I know this I have worked in retail (not the beauty section) before. So, I guess I will think of smart tactics to avert their attacks as long as I want their products in person....

You take the words out of us heart. I didn't know why call something we buy as booty, It's appropriate to sue your words to explain: stores are battlefields for sellers and customers. It's a good way to customers choose things in a queit atmosphere and we can call the sellers if we need help.
