I know that it it part of the job of working in store, but it is a personal peeve of mine that I don't like to be overwhelmed by help, when I don't need it .... but this is just a personal thing, and most good clerks will realize this and politely back off until I'm ready to part with some coin .... I think that part of being a good clerk, is to be able to "read" your customers, because they are all different.

That's one of mine too Eric. If I'm just browsing and looking for ideas and inspiration an overkeen "Can I help you? Were you looking for something in particular?" will more often than not send me looking for the door.

My last three cars were Fiats pipinfort, I had a Panda, then 2 UNOs which I liked, quite economical and had very few mechanical problems. What are you driving at the moment
