To not want people selling things to me when I go shopping

[DaniEvans]

Is it just me or does anyone here get cross with various sales people loitering in supermarket foyers trying to sell something?

If I want RAC cover or a new mobile phone contract then I can go and sort that out myself - I don’t want someone telling me what I need or should have when I pop to the shops!

Someone earlier trying to get me to sponsor a pet, then in another shop just as the RAC person was about to pounce I said ‘no thank you’ with a big smile.

I think what baffles me the most is it must be effective because otherwise sales people wouldn’t be there?

AIBU to get increasingly cross because I feel harassed by people trying to sell me stuff I don’t want when I go shopping?

There was a stand outside our local m&s offering credit cards for people with bad or no credit. It was pretty disgusting.
I remember seeing them talking to an elderly gentleman and taking his details down, he clearly didnt know what he was signing up for as he could barely hear!
