Have you had an encounter with JB Hi-Fi where the sales person has been overly rude, offensive or using pushy sales tactics?
Should this be an acceptable way of shopping?
Recently bought a high ticket priced item $2000+ Apple product and the sales assistant although offering me a price match with Officeworks, was rude saying "you're spending $2000, what's another $130 for buying a genuine adapter?" I told him "No,I can buy a third party one that has more features and is better priced" He then returned with "You should be less worried about spending more money and more concerned that that's a third party product and could void your warranty if anything goes wrong"
Firstly, it can't void my warranty if the port decides to give way.
Secondly, if I say no, that should be the end of the sales pitch.
Should it be acceptable for sales people to be pushy, rude, offensive, falsifying facts in order just to gain commission on a sale?
I tend to just go in, get what i need and get out. Most of the time i tend to window shop and just reply with a 'i'm fine or 'just looking' with a stern look seems to work wonders. You can be rude back, ya know!
