When I worked at Sears I was on 100% commission. In fact, last time I went there, the sales floor was the same as ever only even more competitive.

Only electronics is on hourly + commission, appliances are 100% commission.

I understand that a customer wants to know all about the mini-fridges or the freezers.
However, while talking to a college student for an hour about a 100 or a 120 dollar fridge, a person will miss out on actually making money.

What do you feel about the person who goes to a restaurant, orders a soda and sits there all day taking up a waitresses table and crippling her tips?

Try to see things from the 'evil' sales persons side of view.

I should note that like 777, I was very good with my customers.

I had 100% survey ratings.

If I was talking to the mini-fridge guy, I would give them my full attention. And tell them what ones were good or bad.

[For those wondering, if the freezer is the little box in the top of the fridge part it is going to suck. Pay a little more, get one with a separate freezer.]

However, there are 3 (sometimes more) sales people on the floor, and the some people are looking at mini-fridges and some are looking at the Trio (one of the biggest commission items) you just don't want to ALWAYS get stuck with the lower end shoppers.

Mini-fridges were HORRIBLE, the customers would always take a ton of time, and buy the cheapest one... then sure enough return it, taking even more time. If you buy cheap crap, it is going to be cheap crap.

Just remember us salesmen get nothing but shit. It is worse then being a waiter. Enough people have done the waiter or waitress thing, people sympathize. No one likes the sales men.
