Walk by and tell them you haven’t finished the last 2 boxes of Thin Mints you bought.

They will appreciate the humor.

This reminds me. Have y'all seen the people sometimes outside of grocery stores trying to get you to donate to an organization that supposedly is related to teen suicide?


Yes.

Except these people seem to have a permanent spot set up outside of the post office that I visit. Why would the post office allow this?

Just say ‘EF ATT’

60% of the time it works every time.

Neighborhood Wal-Mart finally prohibited soliciting.

I broke down and bought a box of scout cookies and the price was outrageous.

Then there are these church/recovery missions that are selling every type of novelty item.

I look down at my phone and say:"Talking with you is not on my shopping list."
Never break stride.

I normally just say I'm good and keep on walking and that's the end of it. I was in the electronics section the other day and one of the frickers just appeared next to me when I was looking at monitors. It was like this:



This kid had the audacity to try and give me a fist bump. I just looked at him, he was seriously committed to the fist bump and left his hand out there for at least 5 seconds. He then tried to hit me with the "i just have a quick question for you" as I vacated the area. Not only did this prick not even come close to getting a sale out of me, but he also cost Costco one as well. I ended up buying another monitor on Amazon. I've never had one walk up to me as I was actively shopping and try the stupid pitch before, legitimately pissed me off.

I usually say I got ATT already. However, there was one time it didn’t work. She apparently was the regional manager, some emo lookin chick, (not that there’s anything wrong with it) and she worked sometimes there, Sam’s and Target.

She looked up my bill and found I was paying over $200/ mo too much and was able to change our upgrade status to buy new phones. Because we had stuff to do, she got us new phones, and a new iPad, set them all up for us and all we had to do was delete our old phones and the new ones were installed. Our bill didn’t go up and she apologized on behalf if ATT.

Now I have her cellphone number so anytime I need something , I call her and she takes care of it. She brought my wife a bunch of shite from Target the other day.

Those people are usually the beginners. But every once in a while, they like own the company. So be nice to them.

"I'm good, thanks" and keep walking.

This is easy.

Just be a man and say “no thanks, I’m not interested”

I pretend like they are Secret Service and they just disappear.
