See title.
I constantly feel like any interaction with a sales person is just a big con. Whether it’s a car, insurance, an apartment, internet, or a specialty item that I’m interested in but not an expert on. I always feel completely lost and uncomfortable and like no matter what decision I make I’m making the wrong one.
Yes, even when I dabbled in customer-side of retail, there’s alway some pressure to sell the more profitable stuff, even when I wanted to help the customer. Many places will have even less scruples.
