I got approached by one in Costco in Plano. I was wearing a Tulane polo and he yelled "hey New Orleans" at me. I made the mistake of making eye contact. He went into his spiel and and kept mentioning how he was from Baton Rouge and loved LSU. He then showed me his LSU tattoo.. on the inside of his mf'ing lip! I asked him if that's why he's stuck with this crappy job and walked away.

Never seen that but I do hate the fundraiser people that set up right by the doors.

Sam's Club as well. Actually, in addition to the typical phone companies and such - sometimes Sam's has the FULL ON carnival show. I'm talking about a guy with a mic'd headset doing a full TV-style infomercial for Ginsu knives or whatever.
Sam's in Montgomery had one who was extremely loud and covered the entire store. I asked a customer service rep would I get in trouble if I threw an egg at him? Did not get an answer.

I love being at Sam's when that guy is there. It guarantees the other side of the store will be damn near empty.

They’re in all the Walmarts in Louisiana
Especially AT&T internet service (frick them especially)
Was in the Walmart on Veterans a few months ago, and this bitch literally kept asking me who is my Internet provider as I was passing by. I told her I steal my Internet from my neighbors Wi-Fi and she shut up.

When I go to Costco here in N.O. I will often see people pushing their company's products. It could be Plantation Blinds, Vacuum Sealers, Pellet Smokers or home and office furniture.
I just pass them by and at most give them a "not interested" if they try to get my attention. It's really that simple.

I like to ask them if they have "$5 I can have" before they say a word. Throws them off their game....I keep walking.

the real question is are they barking for the yak woman?

They had the local paper at grocery stores and at a minor l ague park.
I was pretty adamant on twitter about having to hear some one yelling about a stupid tucking paper subscription while trying to enjoy the game was stupid and fricking annoying. I did not pull punches. I told them next time, I'm going to stand in front of newspaper barker and yell shite at him for the whole game.
Got a letter and email from minor league club 2 days later, who apologized and said there would be no more carnival barking ever again. 4 years since event and not 1 carnival barker to be found. Grocery store also stopped letting them hawk their shite paper in their stores.

Though I will also say that this is not a regular occurrence at the local Piggly Wiggly where I usually shop.

If they don't have free food on a toothpick I would have to ask them where the free food on a toothpick is located.

I was approached by fired up AT&T guy in Cosco trying to sell me Fiber...informed him it wasn't available in my Neighborhood. He continued to sell it

Just hold up your hand and keep on walking, inside and outside.
