What’s with the salesmen at laptop retail stores?
Recently, i went to take a look at laptops in retail stores, and it felt like the saleman was pressurising me into buying models i have no interest in.
Told me that the laptop he recommended was light with a lasting battery but the laptop was tiny (then of course it would be light :/) and the battery rating was suspiciously low.
I tried to look at newer models but he kept steering me towards the older models with lower specs.
Eventually I just said thanks and walked away, and he promptly started complaining to the saleman in the other section on how customers these days don’t know how to choose laptops.
What’s your experience with these type of salesmen? Do they give good advice or am i just overly skeptical?
(I bought a laptop online in the end)
Netizens’ comments
- Which is why I just buy my electronics online. The salespeople usually don’t know much or may try to push certain brands their boss tells them to hard sell.
- commi$$ion
- Do your own research online and just purchase online. An apple can become a golden apple through the mouth of a salesman.
- Probably told by the manager to push certain products which they intend to clear.
Which is why I often do my own research before going down. With all the sales talk, it gets pretty confusing if you don’t know what you’re looking for.
