I went to town this morning - to the shopping centre, and I was stopped about 10 times in 2 hours by people trying to get me to sign up to stuff....... LOVEFILM, npower, eon, and chuggers from 3 different charities.  And then when I went to bhs for some shopping, they tried to get me to subscribe to a storecard, same in H & M and also New Look.  Then 2 magazines and 2 catalogues tried to get me to subscribe to them.  I am so sick of walking around my own town centre, minding my own business, and being bloody well hounded everywhere I go!  


Anyone else been finding this?

I get plagued on the phone by such sellers, thats just as bad. You feel horrible for turning them down, knowing its their livelihood. I told my bank Lloyds tSB not to call me at home - they ignored my request, so when I got a new number I didn't tell them.

 

Selling has become way too aggressive and in-your-face these days I agree

Yes it has Rosie... And I know for a fact that the chuggers (charity muggers) are paid about ÂĢ50 (or more,) every time they sign someone up to the charity they represent.  If they were so passionate about the charity, they would do it for free.  

 

When I am with my 2 teen daughters, there is always some young guy from lovefilm or something, who tried to sweet-talk us, like we are sill gullible little girlies, who will be swayed by a half decent looking 21 year old male.  Pathetic.

I walked down our high street this morning. There was someone giving out leaflets and one was thrust into my hand, a few yards further down there was a bin    It was a religious leaflet

Funnily enough, since ive had this cold nobody has come near me. I think its the look im giving them coupled with the deaths door appearance. working a treat.  Had to pop into clintons this morning really early to get a birthday card and they were actually handing out free advent calenders that they hadn't sold at the door Result!
