I was amazed that he actually came over and tried to take over, but it makes a kind of sense if there was a commision involved. I wonder if their supervisor found out that he tried to poach her sale? In any case, this makes me glad he wasn't the closest salesperson around when I was ready to go.

I was a minimum wage slave. However, I could have lost my valuable job if I didn't sell the required amount. I'm sure if commissions were involved, the already catty and competitive atmosphere at the place I worked would have been off the charts. There is nothing wrong with being left alone while shopping; I detest pushy sales people and tried to be un-pushy when I worked there. In situations like yours, where no one really "helped" the customer, it was just the luck of the draw who happened to be at the register and got that sale.
