Is it just me...
... or is the Arndale Centre getting really irritating with all the new little stalls with people who constantly trying to grab your attention "scuse me can i ask you", "scuse me have you got sky", "scuse me can i ask you a couple of quick questions".
I don't want to seem rude, but when I'm home I go into town pretty much every day and am getting really fed up. I understand its their job, but whose idea was it to put them all there! You cant avoid them, they are everywhere! There are at least 4 stalls now and there is no getting past them! GGGrrrrrrrr!!!! |
Re: Is it just me...
Easy, say NO, if they ask again say "do you want to come to my stall, its just round the corner, I sell hearing aids" they won't ask again
|
Re: Is it just me...
I absolutely agree with you-im fine with it all until i walk past once and decline their offers of pedicures or whatever they are doing or a try of the cheap nasty toys and then
they ask me two minutes later when i walk out of a shop.plus i would rather it was like a German market at this time of year-a nice bratwurst and some gluvine like in Manchester.....yum! |
Re: Is it just me...
There was one insurance guy who wouldn't take no for an answer the other week. I was in a hurry. I was heading to a shop. I'd told him no already but then he pounced on me again when I came out of the shop. It is turning shopping in the Arndale into an ordeal and I for one will be avoiding going in there as much as possible now.

Re: Is it just me...
LOL! I'm with flashy on this one :D I've found politeness is wasted on these people, a good old fashioned insult is all they seem to understand.

Funny thing is I don't mind it so much when I'm on holiday and you get "Vereee cheeeep bargain Engleesh laydeee" but in our own Arndale it gets a bit much.

Re: Is it just me...
Solve the problem like I do it..............
You approach them first and say!!! " Excuse me could I just have a moment of your time please"?? Get the little f@@kers attention then say............. " I am here to shop IN shops, I don't want insurance, gas, electric, PAYG mobile phones, pictures of my brats or anything else you weirdo's may stop me for today while I shop".................. This way, they will recognise you when you leave a shop and will NOT Bother you again :D |
Re: Is it just me...
OMG ............ :rofl38:
I'll get back to you on that slinks :D It's more polite than saying f*** off :D |

Re: Is it just me...
As me and Alec walked through the Arndale earlier one of the lads on the small stalls let one of those spinners off, i could see it spinning up in the air as just as i was walking past it came crashing down , i had to duck or it would have hit me right on the head :eek:

Re: Is it just me...
Got accosted by a dead sea mud woman again today! Well almost - I just saiid "No thank you" very loudly even before she'd had chance to open her mouth. She was just sort of homing in on me. I think it took Busman by surprise.:D

Re: Is it just me...
I must look too "butch" when i walk past that stall .... never been stopped by that one yet ! When they do, ill let you know cause that will mean they are really desperate for a sale. :D :D :D

Re: Is it just me...
My standard answer is 'im not 18'. How it works for nails I dont know, but I assume nail people wont approach a guy anyway. :p
Some of you older folk should try it, see if it works for the likes of sky! :p |
