    I have the opposite experience, I have to keep telling people that I don’t need help. I don’t know if I just look that helpless or clueless.

      They’re just trained to approach you pretty much no matter what. Leaving people alone means youre missing out on opportunities for good business I guess. Just annoying to me, especially when I was working at one.

        The best idea I’ve ever seen was a documentation about a shop that had baskets of different colours. One meant “talk to me, I may need help” and one meant “leave me alone, I know what I am doing”. That is a great idea for everyone.

        Now I’m imagining you at work and the jackasses from the Northside store come flooding in and asking customers if they need help. Like a home depot turf war, with customers in the crossfire, running and screaming.
