As salemen, you should probably try to idk sale something. Not sit behind the counter or just stocking all day when there are possible customers in your department that with a bit of discussion you can probably get them to buy things they didnt even come in to get.

If a person is not working off of commision, I don't really consider them a salesman. How good would you expect your service in a restaurant if your waiter worked off a shitty salary rather than the opportunity for a nice tip from you? I don't blame them for being apathetic towards their jobs. I would be too in their position.

 

You still get poor service and im sure you still get evil looks from them when you give them a bad tips for bad service.

But the thing is, A lot of people don't want to be bothered by sales staff. For them, good service is being able to go in and get what they want without being bothered by the help.

What service do you expect, do you ever walk into a games store not knowing what you're going to buy and wanting to strike up a conversation with the sales clerk?
