LOL. Yeah, I guess I didn't mean it like that. I always comparison shop everything, especially larger purchases. I think I didn't do a very good job of explaining what I meant.  What I meant is that if you are in a sales position (which is part of what I do) a lot of people will just use you and waste your time. It makes me angry to see fat fucks clogging up the lines at a deli to get free samples when they KNOW they aren't going to actually buy anything. It makes me angry to see fat fucks at bakeries wanting to taste this or that knowing that they aren't going to buy anything. It also makes me angry to see someone walk into a department store and take up a sales' person's time asking all kinds of questions about this dress or that makeup only to overhear that person say as they turn around "well, I just needed to find out about that but I would NEVER buy it from here anyway because they're too expensive".  I might walk into a store and look around and ask a few questions and decide that the store is indeed overpriced but I am not going to spend a lot of time in a store, come back several times, etc... if I know the product or price isn't right. When I give out prices to people at work it is extremely upsetting to lose an actual sale or make another customer wait because you are otherwise occupied with someone who is just there to waste your time and has absolutely no intention of buying. I have no idea why some people do this. They are wasting their time as much as they are yours. If I give someone a price and they think it's too high or if they don't like the product that's fine, that's my job and I have no problem with that. I just threw in that little disclaimer that we weren't trying to just use the salespeople in the store (waste their time) only to get information and then go make the purchase elsewhere because when you do make sales that one really gets under your skin.
