Ramsus, I think LDS meant that only as an example, whatever your type is... think if that was the salesperson, then would you feel enticed?

The very pretty/handsome isn't a factor with me. Hey I am over 50 *gasp* and I'm not interested in the flirting game anymore. If they are friendly and sincere, AND I need help/assistance then I don't care what they look like. If they know their job AND the product(s) then help me. If you don't, then get a job where you do know the product(s).

I worked in Retail/Sales for 13 years. And I was NOT on commission. Being friendly, sincere and knowing the products that I was selling enabled me to help the customers. If they were just looking, then I backed off and let them look. But I kept just close enough so that when they did need help I was there for them.

I am not impressed by surface looks or by enhanced super white toothy smiles, never have been. When I am shopping, from the quick stop to get bread and milk, to shopping for a computer or kitchen appliance i.e. big ticket item, I want knowledge and honesty. They could look like a troll and drag one foot for all I care, I'm not in the market for their good looks and smiles.

Was it the bit about not knowing who Pamela Anderson was, the bit about her not being my type, or the bit about the gun that tipped you off?

Oh, and JB, I'm completely imune to females. I spent the last decade working on removing all of those feelings from myself. So I'm happy to say that no, I would not be more likely to buy anything based on the appearance of the salesperson.

Errr... this is going off topic but... that does not sound to good

Pretty Sales Women

The last time a man 20 years younger than me flirted with me I married him. Actually since I am a sales woman I try not to flirt to make a sale I don't think it's fair and besides I'm no Pam Anderson. I would say I look more like a larger version of Kate Mulgrew (Star Trek Voyager). I always try to look and sound sincere in selling an item to a guest and I always ask if they need help and go away if they don't.

I've seen all types of sales people over the years for many different types of merchandise. I'm always more inclined to trust the more mature employees. I'll take a straight-forward, knowlegeable grandparent type over someone who'd be a candidate for a Calvin Klein ad any day.

One thing that noone mentioned here yet is how salespeople, especially of autos and real estate, judge us customers on first sight based on appearance. If a customer doesn't look like he/she has money, they sometimes get inferior service.

I agree with you, fugitive 247. I find the same thing happens to me in upscale fashion shops. I remember my cousin and I going into a very chic bridal boutique. The sales girl came up to us and gave me a look down her nose and said "We don't have anything in your size". I'm a big person. My cousin then said to her that "she" was looking for shoes to match a dress she had. This silly girl then said "I'm sure our stuff is much too expensive for you." Now we were both in T-shirts and jeans but we didn't look scruffy. My cousin is a college professor and makes more than this little twit will ever see. We looked at the shoes and my cousin said "this stuff is too trashy, I'll call Gucci's, they know what I like." The sales girl's mouth dropped. She practically fell trying to show us a better line that she had, but it was too late, we just left.
