I'm rather introverted and I very much don't want help from employees in stores. So much so that stores lose sales from me, and I wonder how many sales across the board stores are losing.
The other day I went into an Apple store to consider getting an iPad Mini. I was immediately approached by an employee who very eagerly wanted to show me how light it is, how beautiful the screen is, etc. I told him I really just wanted to look, and he agreed and left. But I immediately left the store, because I knew he'd come back in a few minutes, which I really didn't want.
I also tend to avoid shopping at Best Buy because you get stopped by no less than three employees on each visit. I know it's company policy, but how much money are they losing to introverts and/or grumpy people?
