Why do I get bombarded by the girls at Bath & Body Works?

I walk in and barely have a chance to look around before they appraoch me with ';deals'; and ';offers'; and questions like, ';Have you tried this?'; or ';Oh, I see you're buying that, we also have this!!!'; Other people agree that it's a little much at times. Do you feel the same? Do these people get commission or something?Why do I get bombarded by the girls at Bath %26amp; Body Works?
No, they don't (used to work for the same company - Limited Corp.) but it is their job to approach you and tell you the current deals, specials or they will get in trouble. Just try to be polite. Those girls are just trying to do their jobs and you wouldn't want anyone treating you badly if you ever had to have that job.Why do I get bombarded by the girls at Bath %26amp; Body Works?
It is very annoying.. personally I like to shop and enjoy the scents and trying things without someone up my butt all the time, but I think they are trained to do that.
Tell 'em ';thank you';, but you need time to look around...I know you feel like telling them to ';PISS OFF!';, but you gotta be polite...they're just doing a job. Just shake your head, smile, and say ';Ok';...
yes they are commission based


but they also get bonuses


for selling out certain pin pointed products


theyre corporate aggressive in a leisure luxury consumer market


and yes


it does annoy me


they act like used car salesmen


yknow whats worse though?


the damn kiosk people on the ground floor of the mall


now THEYRE aggressive


i was trying to walk to lenscrafters in the northridge fashion center and one of those kiosk guys got ahold of me


and before i knew it i had an aromatherapy packet velcrod around my back, a minty pillow shoved under my nose and this pricks bad breath in my face!

help!
I don't know, but I totally agree. It's incredibly annoying. Just like those little kiosks down the center of the mall- I keep getting those people actually grabbing me and dragging me over so they can dab this or smear that or stick this in my hair ..... without becoming Hulk-*****, how do I fend them off?
Yes of course. They work on commissions. They have sales quotes that have to be reported to the company itselfs and then as a whole they have to be reported to the stock holders.





Nothing like making a sales person work ..like commission.
Argh I hate when they do that! I'll be reaching for something just to smell it and they'll be like ';oh, if you buy that and this you'll get a free lotion'; , its so annoying! just let me look on my own!
The soul of the business, try to bombard anyone or anything that passes near 15 miles.


Otherwise they would be fired, they should sell.
I definitely feel the same!!! I don't feel like I have time to shop for what I want before they start telling me what I want!
They work on commisison and you look like you have money!
