Of course maybe if I bought something that could actully be serviced... I do not blame them for pushing their service plans. Thats where they make their money.

I don't blame them either, but I do not want to be badgered about it. Ask me once, I will politely decline if I don't think the product warrants it.
Just to be a bit kinder to Best Buy, all of those happened at the Evansville store. The one in Lafayette is not as bad. They ask me if I need help, and leave me alone. They ask about service plans once, and that is it. I dunno what it is about evansville's store....
I bought my mom and myself some new sunglasses at Lazarus this afternoon, and was getting badgered about signing up for a Lazarus Card to save 15%. That convo went like this:
Sales Lady: Would you like to put this on your Lazarus Card?
Me: No thank you. *I put my credit card and ID on the counter*
Sales Lady: Would you like to open a Lazarus Card and save 15%
Me: No thank you.
Sales Lady: Are you sure, you could save...
Me: No thank you. I would like to use my Mastercard.
When I worked at American Eagle, they had us badger people about signing up for Clear Cards. I'd ask once, and that was it. They would try and give us incentives for selling the most of the cards. I really didn't care about incentives (make your own schedule, etc). I just came in, helped people buy Christmas gifts, and went home. I assume Lazarus is a similar situation by giving sales clerks incentives. Such a shame.
