I currently work at an electronic’s store where this is a reality. God, I hate it there It’s offset by how nice some of the colleges are but the sales person tactics that you need to use when the manager is in the store are like 50 questions with each needing 5x no as an answer, or you need to push harder.
I almost vomit at the site of consumerist uneducated environment hating people who do blindly believe what they are told.
I try my best to educate some of them so that they make educated choices and are not swindled.
We are told to push a certain in-house brand that is just Chinese crap that always breaks is with 200% markup.
Same with the extended warranty.
The best thing is I have more knowledge than any of the staff there. I’m always told when I suggest something to a senior employee in front of a customer that they “know” what is better, and it’s unprofessional to correct a more senior college.
A clown show of sorts.
