Years ago, I walked into a clothing store in the mall. Person
constantly came back to me asking if I needed any help. If I
paused to look at something specific, he was right there trying
to convince me to buy it.

I walked out of that store for that very reason. If they had left
me alone, I probably would have spent some money there.
