Personally, if I want help, I go straight to the counter, otherwise, I'm a big boy and will ask for help when I want it. Sometimes I don't speak to anyone unless I need it, and I like that. Better than them getting me as I walk in the door.
This is the right approach IMO. When I go into any shop, if a salesman leaps on me the minute I'm thru the door with his "Can I help you?" the reply is often along the lines of "Certainly. Fuck off & don't hassle me". Over-eager & condescending salespeople should be put in their place.
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
