Slimy salesman in any industry…
I went in to get some butyl window tape. The salesman, I guess he had no tire-kickers to bother, helped me for some reason. He went to where the item should have been as I explained that it was not on the shelf. He picked up some white clay tape and looked at it as if to study if it were actually white as it obviously looks or if he could convince me that I needed this opposite color from what I asked for and not even butyl. I finally had to tell him this is white. He really wanted to sell that white clay. This is typical of the salesmen I have seen in RV places. The parts counter person was more knowledgeable and forthcoming however.
Salesmen who are not a little sleezy do not hang around long as they don't make the sales needed to make a living.
I worked in retail once and the boss would get mad if a customer went out without buying something. He said, they came in to buy something, make sure they buy something.
