It's kind of funny about the pushy salespeople... My experience shopping is very different. There's a department store, usually in malls, but a little more upscale than Sear's or JC Penny. I loved their store brand underwear. That was the only reason I ever shopped there. The whole rigmarole at this store is that you do not take merchandise up, they ask if they can assist you, you tell them what you want, and then they escort you to the register and ring you up.
The men's dept. was almost always empty, no high dollar suit buyers for them to concentrate on. And every time, I had to take my purchase up. These were not cheap fruit of the loom briefs, so there would be some commission. The last time I purchased them there, the young kid, in his suit behind the counter said, "I guess I can ring these up."
Grrrrrr......
