Any mall. The people who crowd the aisles trying to peddle $500 hair straightners and $300 dead sea salt scrubs and whatever else. They drive me CRAZY!! They waste my time. If i was interested in their product, I would approach them. I do not need them walking beside me telling me about their product. Does anyone else feel this way?!

I know what you mean. I couldn't believe the price tag on the flat iron. I bought the exact same model on eBay for $40 and that was including the shipping. I can understand if they try to talk to you if you're looking in their direction. But if you keep moving and they're following you, that's just wrong. You know, they can probably get in trouble for that. Next time that happens, file a complaint with the mall's customer service desk.

They're just trying to earn a living, like everyone else. If they get a bit pushy, use that expression you reserve for an ill-behaved child, and the tone of voice that goes with it, and simply say "No thank you" in a tone that leaves no doubt that you won't buy their product. If they get too pushy, they can loose their licence if you complain to mall management, listing the merchant, the time, and the behaviors. If they're getting "happy" with spritzing stuff, simply state, in that same dead-serious tone, that if they spritz that stuff at you, you'll shove the spritzer so far up their a** they'll spit the stuff when they speak. Sometimes the mere LOOK will convince them to go bother someone else.

Yeah, they are somewhat annoying.. the ones that bug you when you walk by. It's almost impossible to get away from them once they stop you. I try to just walk by and pretend I see something in the window of a store.. and hurry in. One time I got stuck at a kiosk that sold straightening irons. I felt like just cutting my hair off and leaving quickly!! Best Wishes!

It's the woman that pounces at you with hand cream that drives me up the wall! No, I don't want your hand cream in the middle of the freaking mall when I am on my way to do whatever....I'm busy, I'm on a tight schedule and your blocking my path. Ditto for perfume spritzers. If ever there was a job that needed to be banned it is perfume spritzers!

I hate to save on the mall too. I basically like specific shops so i assume if in user-friendly terms those shops have been at a mall that's the place i might pass. i like to get in, get what i choose and get out.

I just tell them 'no thank you' and keep on walking. I completely agree with doglover about the perfume spritzers. Too much of a scent will cause me to have an asthma attack, so I literally have to either hold my breath while walking through the perfume section, or walk completely around it to get to where I'm going. It's awful.

I've ducked into stores to avoid them. i hate the dead sea salt scrub people. I know they have to try and sell their product, but if I tell you no once, I'm not going to change my mind no matter what you want to show me. They're like telemarketers, but in the flesh. lol

OMG... Those people drive me nuts!!! lol, but last year around this time, I got suckered in to the lady with the hand cream!!! And I ended up spending $50.00 (That I didn't have to spend on hand cream) because I couldn't say NO!! Needless to say, I am alot more bolder now, and have no problem saying no!!!

I can't not stand them. I usually walk by ignoring them or act like I am talking to one of my girls. I have gone off on a few. Especially the ones that try to grab my hand to put their stuff on it. I threaten one with a law suit for trying to put it on me - saying "how do you know I am not allerigic to that stuff" or " i didn't say you could touch me". I did that one day and one of the security/police officers heard me and crawled the sales person. That are just so rude.
