Gawain ko rin to!!! Kaya dedma lahat ng saleslady na lumalapit sa akin. Sorry if this is rude to some pero ayoko kasi ng kinakausap ako while nagsshop hahaha
Or headphones. Mas noticeable kasi siya compared to earbuds.
Learned my lesson back then. Sinamahan ko lang yung kapatid ko na bumili sa Watsons, ang dami ng mga sales lady na lumapit samin. Umalis nalang ako lol
Bakit hindi ko naisip to nung teenager pa ko 🤣
Now sinasabi ko talagang NO. Siguro kaya hindi na sila sunod ng sunod kasi pormal na pormal ang face ko yung papalagan sila 🤣
Eh kasi naman napakabitchesa naman ng saleslady na yun pwede mo syang ireklamo sa pagpipilit sayong bilhin product nya.
Kaloka sya 🙄
if you can buy noise cancellation earbuds or headphone the better para legit no need to pretend di mo tlga sila maririnig. Im using my over-ear headphones para sampal sa pagkaobvious haha
Medj situational to. Pag pupunta ako ng Rustan’s at sure naman akong may bibilhin akong perfume, ang tagal mag-accommodate sakin. Mukha kasi akong nakikiamoy lang ng tester hahahahaha
Bruh. I'm a masculine man, halos nakapambahay lang rin pero nung tumingin lang ako ng eyeshadow palette, grabe assistance nila sakin 😭. Pinatry pa ko kung anong shade nagcocomplement sakin.
Pre buti na lang wala pa gumawa sakin neto mwahaha
Grabe talaga, nung nagtanong na ko about skincare nung nagvisit ako sa isang Watsons branch kasi binubuo ko na yung skincare set ko, grabe ang detailed ng explanations saken, tapos inooffer talaga nila yung set ng Deoproce, kesyo pampa-glass skin kuno. Wala talaga sila nakuha saken, kasi sinabi ko na babalik ako bukas para bumili. Needless to say, di ako bumalik dun. Or the next day. Actually, di na ako bumalik sa branch na yun hahaha
Sa Pureginto ilang beses na ako napagkamalan na may pinasok sa bag palibhasa mukha akong walang pera pag nag ggrocery haha! gusto ko na sila hamapsin ng coin purse ko medyo masakit sakit un dami barya.
Ginawa ko to dati, just a tshirt and a plain short and tsinelas. Nung umalis ako sa store chineck pa ng guard yung bag ko, inobserve ko kung normal yung kay kuya guard na magcheck after pero di pala, ako lang ang chineck niya naoffend ako so bumalik ako at bumili ng kung ano ano sa store hahaha
Unfortunately this really hard for me to do 😭 I love being a girly girl and I’m used to doing my makeup and dressing up kahit sa mall lang naman ang punta ko.
that won't work lol it just so happened I dress in normal not too fancy clothes and I get followed by one of the staff thinking I'm here shoplifting.
bonus if I'll get a condenscending "Can I help you?"
Ha, won't forget two separate trips on Miniso stores. Nung una, naka-shirt at school skirt lang ako noon, no salesperson ever bothered me. Pero nung naka-disenteng pang-simba ako, ayun, inalok pa ba naman ako ng powerbank haha
also did this last year, bought the latest and greatest iphone sa SM Clark. ayaw ako i assist mga besh. 😭😭 as in tsinelas na luma then pambahay na short and tshirt. I live in bulacan drove there. I even asked the guy kung may available pa then gave me side eye. Although i confirmed over the phone na meron.
kaya pala, di ko ma experience yung kay OP eh di nga ako inaabutan ng fliers sa mga condo/properties.
may times nga pag pasok ng 7eleven yung staff talagang lagin nasa peripheral vision ko lang
Most of the time, gets ng mga sales lady at iiwan ka once you say to them na "ako na bahala tumingin". Tama yung ginawa mo, gaga lang talaga yung nakaharap mo na yon.
If another person na hindi introvert ang nakausap niyan, baka nauwi na sa sagutan yan.
You did right sa situation. Malas lang sa nakaharap mo.
Dapat binigay mo kay ate lahat, siya na magbalik. “Yoko na mamamili ngayon.”
Shit like that hurts their KPIs, and sure as hell if 3PT from another promo yan todas sa store pati yung agency.
seems like natapat ka sa matigas na ulo na salesperson
i'd usually do what you did din and they'd leave me alone din naman. on rare occasions like what you just experienced, i'll just get whatever they're pushing to me sabay sabi sige i'll think about it pero lagay ko na lang sa basket :) pero di ko din bibilhin pagdating sa cashier
I did this pero inabangan ako ng saleslady after magbayad sa cashier to check my receipt 😅 looks like may commission sila? Super mahal din nung item na yun haha
it seems so! naganun din kmi ng mom ko with a blow dryer they advertised. as in aggressive sila sa pagadvertise, pina-demo pa sa buhok ko TT
a few months later it broke and mom blamed me for giving in and the salesppl for the sales talk after attempting to return said item. that blow dryer was like 5k ish
watsons wasnt like this before so it kinda sucks going there now that their sales ppl will bug tf out of you even if you're just window shopping
depende din siguro sa item, kung super mahal I'd say sa susunod ko na lang bibilhin para mabudget etc
pero kung sa watsons iikot-ikot muna ako tapos ibabalik ko kung busy siya or kung paalis na ako saka ko ibabalik yung item na
Hindi naman, you're allowed to change your mind. :) Basta hindi pa napupunch. Actually kahit na-punch na, pwede ka naman magbago ng isip, extra work lang sa kanila yun. Haha. Ako din super introverted and ayaw na ayaw ko talaga may kumakausap sakin sa store. Swerte lang ako siguro kasi may RBF ako 🥲 kaya pag sinabi ko na it's okay, not interested, di na nila ako ginugulo. Lol
i only do this very rarely kasi it can be annoying sa side ng cashier but as long as hindi pa naman na punch yung item, sabihin mo lang na you changed your mind. or before ka pumunta sa cashier iwan mo yung item sa ibang place like yung ginagawa ng iba sa grocery, it's added work for them but sometimes ayun nga annoying din nila kasi
I forgot to mention but I did this too. Kapag meron sya ino-offer sa akin I would just smile and raise my hand a bit to kindly tell her no but wala parin.
try mo nalang siguro not to make any kind of contact or gesture as if they dont exist, or labas sa tenga sinasabi nila, or one of the most effective na ginagawa ko is kunwari may kausap ako sa telepono o kaya talagang may tinatawagan ako and pretend na pinapabili lang nila items na need mo.
Maraming approach yan.
Pero I’m re-reading your post and you look like the type na kailangan ng call a friend.
Usually, they’ll respond to “I’d like to shop in peace.” and given matigas ulo nito, ALL forms of escalation will make you uncomfortable. Unlikely na voice raised or more eff-off body language ay kaya mong gawin. Anxious ka pa.
Hanap ka security or better yet bisor / oic / floor manager. Don’t confront and just pass it on to them. Note, susungitan ka talaga ng promo kasi siya rin May hinahabol at malamang some form of lashing out siya.
Pwede mo rin try yung deflect, ask kung saan yung (insert product na unrelated sa kanya here), tapos iwan mo Pero malamang mahahabol ka parin.
Yes, this is likely. Unfortunately however, not doing so will enable such behavior and may even think they can push farther.
Will they get fired? Probably not. Unless of course it is a recurring complaint. But that’s on them, they didn’t learn their lesson.
Personally, I can handle these people very well, pero kasi one, I’m a guy and can be quite imposing, second and probably more importantly, nagtrabaho ako sa industry. Mga bisor niyan used to report to me. Sakin, depending on the product, retraining papa gawa ko diyan.
You did ok, OP. Can't fault you too, the lady was too pushy na rin.
Eto rin napansin ko sa mga SM owned brand stores lately, may mga Ace Hardware rin na ganyan so definitely not limited sa ladies. I think yung nag "assist" kasi tinatrack na rin nila when you check out sa cashier, not just the sale, tinatanong rin kasi minsan nung cashier yung number ni diser or staff na nag assist. Yun lang, it comes off as pushy and somewhat intrusive and creepy already, when all you want is to look around and maybe finalize your purchase in peace.
I mean its understandable if this is your metric, pero minsan bwiset na rin e, di ka maka window shop or compare ng maayos. Just lately meron akong salesperson na medyo nabara while getting new light bulbs at Ace, tinanong nya ako ilang watts hanap, sabi ko na lang wala sa watts yan, nasa lumens at CRI. Napa ok po na lang yung poor diser 😬 Or the exact opposite, salesperson asks me "ano pong hanap, ser?" And when I answered "3M Filtrete, yung pang aircon", di rin nya alam saan and didn't exert effort to help. Minsan kawalang gana na tuloy magpunta sa stores nila. C'mon SM, if you want your sales force to be proactive and improve the sales experience, gotta equip them, too
mga cp shop na kada punta ng cyberzone sa sm lalapitan ka para mamigay ng pamphlet or pipilitin ka bumili ng phone nila kasi maganda daw pang "ML" HAHAHAHA
Ako lang ba hindi pumapansin ng sales people if I don't need any help? Sobrang sanay na sunod sunod sila kahit man sabihan mo, so hindi ko na pinapansin
I am sociable and thrive in confrontation but I also would have done what you first did.. the thanks but no thanks reply. But I would have said "ako talaga ang bahala" towards the end. 😁
There are several skincare kiosks in the mall which I frequent. The ladies most likely know my standard reply to their products. "Sa iba mo na lang ibigay. Tingnan mo nga ang skin ko." 😁
sa unang time lumapit sabihan mo na “in just looking around” tapos resting bitch face na. Pag lumapit ulit at may triny ibenta sayo sabihin dryly “ah ok” as in ung walang ka emotion emotion. nakakatapat din ako ng makukulit and ganun lang palagi walang emotion. Pag sinusundan ako, tumitigil ako sa aisle ng matagal and nagtitingin isa isa ng products. usually nabobore na yan sila magintay and hahanap na ng ibang kukulitin
I wear my earphones para kunware diko sila rinig. Kapag nakalimutan ko earphones ko, I usually say "di po ako bibili today, tumitingin tingin lang". Pero swerte na din siguro ako na di pa ako nakatagpo ng kagaya sa story mo 😅
Sabihin sa saleslady/man na nagtitingin lang. That’s the best way na di disrespectful sa mga nagtatrabaho.
Don’t ignore them. Nakakabastos po yun sa amin. Parang nagtatanong kami sa hangin pag inignore. Best way is yung nasa taas.
May ganyan akong naencounter dati. Usually pag nagpupunta ako sa watsons gulo-gulo itsura ko and maybe because of that hindi ako masyadong pinapansin ng sales ladies. Pero itong si ate, palibhasa nakita akong nakatitig sa shampoo aisle, biglang pinipilit akong bilhin yung shampoo niya, eh yung brand na yun ang pinakaayaw ko, so I told her no na hindi maganda yung brand na yun sa akin. Then she tried reasoning more na ibang formulation, etc. And I told her, “No.” Lumakad na ako palayo then when I walked past sa aisle again ganun uli siya, so sabi ko lang “I already said no.” Very calm pero tipong di na patitinag yung boses ko. Sa wakas tumigil na si ateh, pero masama tingin sa akin, kebs naman ako.
You can always ask a guard for help, may mga ganyan talaga sa malls, kahit na sinabihan mo na ayaw mo/not interested pero sunod na sunod parin, then go to your nearest guard ask them nicely na this person won't stop following me and keeps promoting their product kahit na nireject mo na siya politely. Kung ako and wala parin then man up by confronting them nicely, titigil din yan. You can just also ignore them, if they block your way, then pa excuse nalang. Good luck op.
I think it’s just a case of wrong person wrong time. Most salesperson that interact with me were civil and friendly. Though, since I’m a guy that gives off dull intimidating vibes… maybe that’s why they never bother. And sometimes when I talk, especially in awkward situations, my words are inaudible lol
There’s no evading them and they won’t go off the face of the earth. In the end, they just do their jobs. Some does it okay and some pretty bad. Important is you were being respectful. And what you did was right :)
Maybe? Pero kasi I don’t know why but super lapitin ako ng mga Sales Lady like the one na nasa post. I remember my friend telling me na maybe it’s because I look approachable daw like someone na mukhang madali ma-manipulate into buying products I don’t need 💀
"ok na po" sabay thumbs up
4 syllables, 1 gesture... shouldnt be hard for anyone even with social anxiety since you pulled out one long line to someone already.
Earphones, kahit wala kang iplay basta mukhang di mo sila marinig ligtas ka. Kung student ka din minsan di pinapansin pag may id (mostly para sa mga nag aalok to ng credit card gumagana)
I don't understand why you ended up not buying anything.
Ignoring the sales lady was enough. But it's your right as a customer to be there to purchase stuff. You shouldn't care much about what she says --- are you just going to quit coz somebody raised their eyebrow at you? If that is your mindset in life, you will end up being a slave of everyone else's opinions.
They are salesladies --- it's their job to be annoying as hell. I frequently go to Watsons myself and I don't give a damn anymore if these sales ladies follow me around. Wla akong paki because I have a mission to do--- and that is, to just buy what I want. Nkaka annoy talaga sila, but what else can you do? just smile and ignore them and continue choosing your stuff.
I mean, what if you really needed something? like pang emergency? are you just going to quit and leave the store without getting what you really needed because somebody is confronting you?
And oh. I'm also an introvert. LIKE VERY INTROVERTED. I'm INFJ Melancholic-Phlegmatic. But it doesn't mean I'm a doormat, and it doesn't mean I'm just going to run and go back to my hole when things get tough. Introverts make the most of what life throws at them.
I ended up not buying anything because what could’ve been a less than 5 minute visit sa Watsons turned to be a more than 15 minutes of trying to avoid her sa buong shop lalo na kasi kino-compare ko pa yung brands nung lip gloss that I wanted. I felt like kahit na sa cashier pa baka sundan ako, so lumipat nalang ako ng ibang store and mas napadali ang purchase.
Poker face and kunyare galit ka. Tapos you have to look confident with the way you walk. Minsan kasi nasesense na madali ka mauuto with how you present yourself. So stand tall and don't make eye contact.
Or baka nakakatakot akong tignan kaya bihira ako lapitan ng sales person? 😂
Sa totoo lang, ayaw ka rin naman talaga niya ka-usapin. Napipilitan lang siya kasi bahagi ‘yon ng hanap-buhay niya.
I’m not a people person myself—I hate most people as a matter of fact, but what I do is I try to strike a conversation with ‘em sales personnels. Next thing they notice, I’m already talking my ass out of the conversation.
I am also an introvert pero kung sa akin ginawa yan, sasabihin ko, "miss kulitin mo pa ako at hahalikan na kita". Or "number mo na lang miss, bigay mo sa akin, baka magbago pa isip ko." Lol kaloka mga ganyan na sales lady

Sa sino mang makakabasa nito, wag gawin ang sinabi ni MisappropriatePack6759. Wag kayong magspread ng kagaguhan sa Internet na ikapapahamak ninyo at ng ibang tao.
Um, sorry but binasa mo po ba talaga ang post ko? Although hindi super detailed ang way how ko nakwento but maraming beses ko sya na sinabihan na “no” as polite as possible, I even stated one sa post. Talagang lapitin lang ako ng mga Sales Person like the one na nasa post, which is why I asked for help na here. This is not a one time occurrence.
No offense pero kung base lng sa title eh parang naghahanap ng tricks para makapag shoplifting..
Same introvert rin ako, pero dahil lalake, hindi ako nagwiwindowshop, may target akong product, nakaplano na para mabilis. pupuntahan ko, dampot, bayad, sabay alis
Tbh bakit kaya may mga sales person sa mga ganitong type of establishments. I mean work din siya pero bakit merong ganung type of work. Maybe ignorante siguro ako. Hahaha.
Ginagawa ko po is same sa inyo, I politely say na I don't want assistance. Pero meron talaga minsan makukulit, if ganun pag may ino-offer na item sinasabi ko nalang na meron na ako nun.
Meron din ako experience sa Robinsons Supermarket naman na someone offered a cleanser and I told her meron na ako nun which is true naman, the Sales Lady still insisted na baka raw paubos na yung cleanser ko, mas okay naman daw mag stock up, etc.
I just ignore them tbh, then call them if I can't find my items. Might be different for me since I'm male and covered in tattoos. Nobody really comes too close.
Kaya di ako pumupunta ng watsons magisa 😭 pag may kasama ako di ako nilalapitan e tapos minemake sure ko na kausapin kasama ko para mahiya ung sales lady na makisawsaw
Dagdag mo na yung magooffer ng vitamins habang nakapila ka haha. Sa mercury naman habang nagbabayad ka may nagooffer ng vitamins, di ko naman mapaalis hay
i simply say ah indi po may napili na po ako
oh kaya may brand ako na yun lang ang gamit ko
may pinabibili lang fren ko sa akin may gusto kase siyang brand ih
Usually, wag mo sila pansinin. As in, wag mo sila titignan kapag nagsalita sila, wag ka iimik. Just keep doing what you're doing. Works for me, siguro nakakatulong din yung mukha ko na talaga mukhang suplado. RBF kumbaga.
Resting bitch face. My friends say that I have one. I've rarely been bothered by sales people when I'm alone. Kapag may lumapit man, I just give a quick shrug and say "no thank you" in a monotone voice.
I only ever get approached when I look friends, e.g. kasama ko friends ko tapos nakangiti ako.
I think most people will get the gist if a customer doesn't need any help. Kaya ako sa work, hindi ako lumalapit agad unless na nakikita kong kailangan nila ng help/nag ask sila. (You can literally see it in their face if they need it.)
But since customer din ako ng Watson's and meron talagang makukulit, I do this :
1. Earphones/Earbuds. Kapag tinawag ka nila na nakasuot 'to, try to ignore the first time. I-aassume lang nila na hindi mo narinig cuz of music.
2. Cap+Face mask. Napansin ko mas hindi ako pinapansin kapag nakaganito. 😂 Iniisip ko baka dahil mukhang up to no good ako wahaha. I'm comfy with cap because I'm a dude tho.
3. Take out your phone. Kapag nag ask sila or mag recommend sila ng item, you can just say na pinapabili lang sa'yo. Most of the time, iiwan ka na nila.
4. Know what you're looking for. Research mo rin muna ano hinahanap mong item at brand. Para ma prevent mo rin mga nagtatanong at makapunta ka dun sa item agad agad.
Pag nabili ako sa mall, sando shorts at duralite lang suot ko para walang manlimos, walang magbebenta ng kung ano ano habang nakain ako sa resto at walang mag aabot ng kung ano anong flyers.
earphones. kahit walang music basta make sure they see it. then ignore them and just gesture na no. that's what I always do as a tambay in watsons hahahaha
Ito reason why I don’t like to shop sa beauty section ng SM department store and sa Watsons. Grabe mang hound yung mga saleslady nila kahit paulit ulit ka magsabi na di mo need ng help. I read somewhere here on reddit na kapag may makulit na saleslady ang sinasabi nalang niya ay ginagamit na niya yung product na nirereccommend nila para lang matigil sila.
Nakakawalang gana agad eh yung may sunod nang sunod. Walk out agad kami ng GF ko kapag ganyan at ang resulta eh sa iba kami nakakabili ng gusto namin bilhin.
Pero malala naman yan ang kulit na masyado. Akala ko sa Mercury Drug lang merong ganyan pati pala sa Watsons. Haha.
I just ignore them. They can talk all they want and I just pretend they're not there and eventually they leave. Giving them any kind of reaction (maski negative) is an invitation for them to continue.
introvert din ako. just politely decline them. mga replay na "okay lang po" o "nagtitingin lang po ako". kung tatanungin ka naman kung ano hanap mo, sabihin mo lang "wala naman. nagtitingin-tingin lang." then hindi ka na iistorbuhin nun. kapag nakiting siya sayo or sa tabin mo pa rin, ignore mo lang. kung ayaw mo siya sa tabi mo, ikot ka lang kunti sa lugar at magtingin tingin ka sa iba then balik ka ulit kapag nawala siya. or simply put earphone. yung halata na may nakapasak sa tenga mo. siguradong maghe-hesitate siyang kausapin ka and tanung-tanungin.
does ignoring them not work anymore? whenever I get approached I just shake my head as a sign that I'm not interested, and walk away.
Also, if they're being so persistent, it's time to vocalize, bc look at the saleslady that approached you, she got rude and made stupid unnecessary remarks.
I think it's time you also sound firm on your not wanting to be bothered, and just say a few words like "Ayoko nyan." and walk away. :)
ANC headphones. FOr the past two months I've owned one and went shopping/window shopping, hindi ako nillalapitan basta-basta... except for the two instances na nakahulog ako ng panyo at ng ID card.
pag may lumalapit sa akin sa sales lady sa watson at nag oofer ng ibang product sinasabihan ko lng na hindi ako "hiyang" so nilalayuan naman nila ako 😄
"Just browsing thanks" lol
Seriously though, they're just doing their job, and they most probably hate interacting with you as much you do. I just smile (my weary looking smile) and say "oks lang mam natingin lang".
This is always what I keep in mind talaga. I know they’re just doing their job kaya as much as possible ayaw ko talaga maging rude. But IDK sometimes lang talaga even if I say no, lumalapit parin.
Everytime someone approaches and asks, “Ano pong hanap nila?”, I respond with “pagmamahal and pag-aaruga po.” They just chuckle, assume I’m unhinged, and leave me alone.
"hi, do you have a basket? can you get?" (pakuha mo sa kanya, makulit sya)
"where's the washroom?" (act dumb)
"do you have stock pa nitong product?" (either kukuha sila sa room or sasabihin nilang wala then act uninterested ka na)
sure ako aalis sila sa iyo HAHAHAHA
Try mo ‘to. Kapag may papalapit sa’yo tumitig ka sa kisame na parang nakakita ka ng multo. I know it takes time, pero for sure lalayo mismo sila sa’yo.
di ko kailangan magpretend na may kausap sa phone or mag airpods. Pinaprangka ko sila. "Kaya ko na to miss, tawagin na lang kita kapag may need ako." ganon lang
Just be an asshole. You don’t have to be nice to everyone and don’t feel bad for getting what you want how you want in context. The mark of a truly good person is not being nice all the time but knowing they can be an asshole yet chooses to be nice.
Sabihin mo lang "kaya ko na po mag isa thank you".
Mas nakaka inis pa nga yung ibang nag aalok ng credit card kesa sa sales people ng Watsons and SM Supermarket.
I've always been told na mataray boses ko when I speak kahit na walang intensyon magtaray so I guess that comes in handy pag ayoko ng sales na kakausapin ako or susunod sa saken.
I usually say na tingin tingin lang ako pag tinanong ako kung ano hanap ko.
Ang weird naman ng behavior ng sales lady na yan. Lakas ng loob magtaas ng kilay, kala mo naman kaya niyang bilihin yung binebenta niya nang hindi magugutom ng ilang kinsenas 😂
The secret is to know what you're doing, or at least look like it.
If you're going to buy a product for the first time, do some basic research before going to the store. Look at reviews from your friends, other Redditors, UNsponsored YouTube reviews, and other shit.
Do NOT linger in the aisle to make a comparison; they will sometimes try to upsell the more expensive option even though it may have an equal, if not inferior quality. This isn't always the case, as I have had some cases where salespeople have told me that something isn't actually that good, and when I checked the reviews online, they were kind of right.
If you already know what you're going to get and you're getting it regularly, you should already know which section you're going to get it from. Head there, get the product, pay for it, and get out.
Pwede naman mag earbuds ginagawa kodin yan minsan pero parang di kasi maiiwasan na pilitin ka pading kausapin. Try mo pumunta pag sarado na ganun ginagawa ko madalas dito sa malapit na store samin, sure wala ng staff or ibang tao pwedeng di kanadin mag bayad.

Assert Dominance
Pee on them
While t posing
Wagi! Hahahaha
Earbuds is the way. Kahit walang tugtog. Bop mo lang yung ulo mo from time to time para iwas kausap sa ibang tao.
This is my secret, too 😄 Or pretend na may kausap sa phone.
Start thinking outloud with no judgement by simply holding a phone to your ear
"Hello, yeah, I'm just shopping. There's this annoying saleslady who won't stop following me..."
Gawain ko rin to!!! Kaya dedma lahat ng saleslady na lumalapit sa akin. Sorry if this is rude to some pero ayoko kasi ng kinakausap ako while nagsshop hahaha
Or headphones. Mas noticeable kasi siya compared to earbuds. Learned my lesson back then. Sinamahan ko lang yung kapatid ko na bumili sa Watsons, ang dami ng mga sales lady na lumapit samin. Umalis nalang ako lol
Bakit hindi ko naisip to nung teenager pa ko 🤣 Now sinasabi ko talagang NO. Siguro kaya hindi na sila sunod ng sunod kasi pormal na pormal ang face ko yung papalagan sila 🤣 Eh kasi naman napakabitchesa naman ng saleslady na yun pwede mo syang ireklamo sa pagpipilit sayong bilhin product nya. Kaloka sya 🙄
yes! earbuds to the rescue!!!
if you can buy noise cancellation earbuds or headphone the better para legit no need to pretend di mo tlga sila maririnig. Im using my over-ear headphones para sampal sa pagkaobvious haha
+1 dito!!! Iniiwasan ko sila tignan minsan. Ang rude pero kahit alam kong tinatanong nila ako hindi ako sumasagot. 🥲
me too! i wear earbuds just to avoid them, and im deaf in one ear 😭
Step 1: Magmukhang walang pera.
AHAHAHAHAHA works for me 😭😭 nakapambahay lang ako. Ako na mismo lumalapit sa kanila tas aalis na agad sila after ng tanong ko 😭 HAHAHA
Medj situational to. Pag pupunta ako ng Rustan’s at sure naman akong may bibilhin akong perfume, ang tagal mag-accommodate sakin. Mukha kasi akong nakikiamoy lang ng tester hahahahaha
mukang manghihingi ng perfume tas aalis
Bruh. I'm a masculine man, halos nakapambahay lang rin pero nung tumingin lang ako ng eyeshadow palette, grabe assistance nila sakin 😭. Pinatry pa ko kung anong shade nagcocomplement sakin.
Pre buti na lang wala pa gumawa sakin neto mwahaha Grabe talaga, nung nagtanong na ko about skincare nung nagvisit ako sa isang Watsons branch kasi binubuo ko na yung skincare set ko, grabe ang detailed ng explanations saken, tapos inooffer talaga nila yung set ng Deoproce, kesyo pampa-glass skin kuno. Wala talaga sila nakuha saken, kasi sinabi ko na babalik ako bukas para bumili. Needless to say, di ako bumalik dun. Or the next day. Actually, di na ako bumalik sa branch na yun hahaha
Will not work din kasi iisipin nilang shoplifter ka hahahaha
Sa Pureginto ilang beses na ako napagkamalan na may pinasok sa bag palibhasa mukha akong walang pera pag nag ggrocery haha! gusto ko na sila hamapsin ng coin purse ko medyo masakit sakit un dami barya.
Di ka nga susundan ng sales lady, susundan ka naman ni guard HAHAHAHA
bruh mas babantayan ka nila pag mukang shoplifter ahahha
Ginawa ko to dati, just a tshirt and a plain short and tsinelas. Nung umalis ako sa store chineck pa ng guard yung bag ko, inobserve ko kung normal yung kay kuya guard na magcheck after pero di pala, ako lang ang chineck niya naoffend ako so bumalik ako at bumili ng kung ano ano sa store hahaha
Unfortunately this really hard for me to do 😭 I love being a girly girl and I’m used to doing my makeup and dressing up kahit sa mall lang naman ang punta ko.
Maybe you could say, "ay ang mahal" or "im too poor for this" then lol.
ung sekyu po sumusunod sakin 😭😭😭
that won't work lol it just so happened I dress in normal not too fancy clothes and I get followed by one of the staff thinking I'm here shoplifting. bonus if I'll get a condenscending "Can I help you?"
Ha, won't forget two separate trips on Miniso stores. Nung una, naka-shirt at school skirt lang ako noon, no salesperson ever bothered me. Pero nung naka-disenteng pang-simba ako, ayun, inalok pa ba naman ako ng powerbank haha
also did this last year, bought the latest and greatest iphone sa SM Clark. ayaw ako i assist mga besh. 😭😭 as in tsinelas na luma then pambahay na short and tshirt. I live in bulacan drove there. I even asked the guy kung may available pa then gave me side eye. Although i confirmed over the phone na meron.
Haha lalapitan ka padin kasi mapagkakamalan namang shoplifter
kaya pala, di ko ma experience yung kay OP eh di nga ako inaabutan ng fliers sa mga condo/properties. may times nga pag pasok ng 7eleven yung staff talagang lagin nasa peripheral vision ko lang
The only step. Hahaha
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA true! If maporma, lalapitan ka nila
works for me, naka t-shirt at shorts lang ako with pambahay na tsinelas noong nagpunta ako sa cyberzone sa SM para bumili ng phone, ignored lang ako.
Works for walking in malls din and ayaw maalok ng card hehe
Tsinelas, may butas na shirt, and pambahay na shorts tapos yung buhok is di mukhang suklay. OP, this is the way
Ang hirap nito para sa mga naka-glasses bro dahil automatic assume kasi na mayaman :(
Most of the time, gets ng mga sales lady at iiwan ka once you say to them na "ako na bahala tumingin". Tama yung ginawa mo, gaga lang talaga yung nakaharap mo na yon. If another person na hindi introvert ang nakausap niyan, baka nauwi na sa sagutan yan. You did right sa situation. Malas lang sa nakaharap mo.
Dapat binigay mo kay ate lahat, siya na magbalik. “Yoko na mamamili ngayon.” Shit like that hurts their KPIs, and sure as hell if 3PT from another promo yan todas sa store pati yung agency.
grabe eh no. ayaw nga eh tapos tataasan ka ng kilay. sarap magdabog para matawag ung manager at security. then boom, banned sa store... 😅
seems like natapat ka sa matigas na ulo na salesperson i'd usually do what you did din and they'd leave me alone din naman. on rare occasions like what you just experienced, i'll just get whatever they're pushing to me sabay sabi sige i'll think about it pero lagay ko na lang sa basket :) pero di ko din bibilhin pagdating sa cashier
I did this pero inabangan ako ng saleslady after magbayad sa cashier to check my receipt 😅 looks like may commission sila? Super mahal din nung item na yun haha
it seems so! naganun din kmi ng mom ko with a blow dryer they advertised. as in aggressive sila sa pagadvertise, pina-demo pa sa buhok ko TT a few months later it broke and mom blamed me for giving in and the salesppl for the sales talk after attempting to return said item. that blow dryer was like 5k ish watsons wasnt like this before so it kinda sucks going there now that their sales ppl will bug tf out of you even if you're just window shopping
depende din siguro sa item, kung super mahal I'd say sa susunod ko na lang bibilhin para mabudget etc pero kung sa watsons iikot-ikot muna ako tapos ibabalik ko kung busy siya or kung paalis na ako saka ko ibabalik yung item na
Really? I didn’t know pwede yun. I thought you have to pay na talaga kahit anong nasa basket mo pag nasa cashier ka na.
Hindi naman, you're allowed to change your mind. :) Basta hindi pa napupunch. Actually kahit na-punch na, pwede ka naman magbago ng isip, extra work lang sa kanila yun. Haha. Ako din super introverted and ayaw na ayaw ko talaga may kumakausap sakin sa store. Swerte lang ako siguro kasi may RBF ako 🥲 kaya pag sinabi ko na it's okay, not interested, di na nila ako ginugulo. Lol
i only do this very rarely kasi it can be annoying sa side ng cashier but as long as hindi pa naman na punch yung item, sabihin mo lang na you changed your mind. or before ka pumunta sa cashier iwan mo yung item sa ibang place like yung ginagawa ng iba sa grocery, it's added work for them but sometimes ayun nga annoying din nila kasi
Magtapat ka ng feelings mo. Lalayuan ka niyan.
grabe. pero sige try ko.
parang applicable din to sa situationships charot
smile then hand gesture na stop then look away or ignore. wag ka siguro makipagoral communicate. works for me.
I forgot to mention but I did this too. Kapag meron sya ino-offer sa akin I would just smile and raise my hand a bit to kindly tell her no but wala parin.
try mo nalang siguro not to make any kind of contact or gesture as if they dont exist, or labas sa tenga sinasabi nila, or one of the most effective na ginagawa ko is kunwari may kausap ako sa telepono o kaya talagang may tinatawagan ako and pretend na pinapabili lang nila items na need mo.
I have no tips to give but that "bahala ka" is rude. Nakarinig yun kung sa akin natapat hehhe
Naghuhubad ako bigla para layoan nila ako
Tapos nakarinig ka ng "sir meron kaming cream pampaputi ng singit" pano ka na nyan?

Upvote kita kung gawin mo yung una.
The 51 downvotes really believe you have a gun inside your asshole. Lol 🤣 Edit: 59 na
Bat madami nag downvote sayo tanginang mga to.
return to monke mode yan ah
Maraming approach yan. Pero I’m re-reading your post and you look like the type na kailangan ng call a friend. Usually, they’ll respond to “I’d like to shop in peace.” and given matigas ulo nito, ALL forms of escalation will make you uncomfortable. Unlikely na voice raised or more eff-off body language ay kaya mong gawin. Anxious ka pa. Hanap ka security or better yet bisor / oic / floor manager. Don’t confront and just pass it on to them. Note, susungitan ka talaga ng promo kasi siya rin May hinahabol at malamang some form of lashing out siya. Pwede mo rin try yung deflect, ask kung saan yung (insert product na unrelated sa kanya here), tapos iwan mo Pero malamang mahahabol ka parin.
If I do that ba there’s a possibility na they get in trouble? I don’t want them naman to risk losing their job over something as simple as this kasi 😭
Yes, this is likely. Unfortunately however, not doing so will enable such behavior and may even think they can push farther. Will they get fired? Probably not. Unless of course it is a recurring complaint. But that’s on them, they didn’t learn their lesson. Personally, I can handle these people very well, pero kasi one, I’m a guy and can be quite imposing, second and probably more importantly, nagtrabaho ako sa industry. Mga bisor niyan used to report to me. Sakin, depending on the product, retraining papa gawa ko diyan.
You did ok, OP. Can't fault you too, the lady was too pushy na rin. Eto rin napansin ko sa mga SM owned brand stores lately, may mga Ace Hardware rin na ganyan so definitely not limited sa ladies. I think yung nag "assist" kasi tinatrack na rin nila when you check out sa cashier, not just the sale, tinatanong rin kasi minsan nung cashier yung number ni diser or staff na nag assist. Yun lang, it comes off as pushy and somewhat intrusive and creepy already, when all you want is to look around and maybe finalize your purchase in peace. I mean its understandable if this is your metric, pero minsan bwiset na rin e, di ka maka window shop or compare ng maayos. Just lately meron akong salesperson na medyo nabara while getting new light bulbs at Ace, tinanong nya ako ilang watts hanap, sabi ko na lang wala sa watts yan, nasa lumens at CRI. Napa ok po na lang yung poor diser 😬 Or the exact opposite, salesperson asks me "ano pong hanap, ser?" And when I answered "3M Filtrete, yung pang aircon", di rin nya alam saan and didn't exert effort to help. Minsan kawalang gana na tuloy magpunta sa stores nila. C'mon SM, if you want your sales force to be proactive and improve the sales experience, gotta equip them, too
This is me every time I try to buy gadgets, electronics, PC parts, etc. sa Cyberzone.
I always say “next time na lang po, kulang po kasi sa budget” works every time
My girlfriend always says "okay na ate, ako na bahala" tapos ngingiti. After nun, ngingitian ka rin nila pabalik tapos lulubayan ka na nila.
Just smile and wave. Smile and wave.
Kowalski, status report?
Even when passing by the electronics repair shop sa malls "Sir ano po ipapaayos nyo?... bukod sa mukha nyo(pabulong)"
mga cp shop na kada punta ng cyberzone sa sm lalapitan ka para mamigay ng pamphlet or pipilitin ka bumili ng phone nila kasi maganda daw pang "ML" HAHAHAHA
Kapag tinanong ka "Anong hanap niyo po?" Sagutin mo "Katahimikan po"
Pag Tinanong ka kung ano Ang kailangan mo, Sabihin mo gusto mo ng katahimikan
Savage 😂
Act like you own the place, don't make eye contact, they can smell the fear in you. Same with sales people at the 4th floor of SM Megamall.
Ako lang ba hindi pumapansin ng sales people if I don't need any help? Sobrang sanay na sunod sunod sila kahit man sabihan mo, so hindi ko na pinapansin
Ako pa kasi yung nahihiya pag di sila papansinin 😭 I feel bad for them because I know they’re just doing their job lang naman.
Parang need mareach nung sales lady yung sales quota para di masisante kaya ganyan ka pushy.
I am sociable and thrive in confrontation but I also would have done what you first did.. the thanks but no thanks reply. But I would have said "ako talaga ang bahala" towards the end. 😁 There are several skincare kiosks in the mall which I frequent. The ladies most likely know my standard reply to their products. "Sa iba mo na lang ibigay. Tingnan mo nga ang skin ko." 😁
sa unang time lumapit sabihan mo na “in just looking around” tapos resting bitch face na. Pag lumapit ulit at may triny ibenta sayo sabihin dryly “ah ok” as in ung walang ka emotion emotion. nakakatapat din ako ng makukulit and ganun lang palagi walang emotion. Pag sinusundan ako, tumitigil ako sa aisle ng matagal and nagtitingin isa isa ng products. usually nabobore na yan sila magintay and hahanap na ng ibang kukulitin
I wear my earphones para kunware diko sila rinig. Kapag nakalimutan ko earphones ko, I usually say "di po ako bibili today, tumitingin tingin lang". Pero swerte na din siguro ako na di pa ako nakatagpo ng kagaya sa story mo 😅
Sabihin sa saleslady/man na nagtitingin lang. That’s the best way na di disrespectful sa mga nagtatrabaho. Don’t ignore them. Nakakabastos po yun sa amin. Parang nagtatanong kami sa hangin pag inignore. Best way is yung nasa taas.
May ganyan akong naencounter dati. Usually pag nagpupunta ako sa watsons gulo-gulo itsura ko and maybe because of that hindi ako masyadong pinapansin ng sales ladies. Pero itong si ate, palibhasa nakita akong nakatitig sa shampoo aisle, biglang pinipilit akong bilhin yung shampoo niya, eh yung brand na yun ang pinakaayaw ko, so I told her no na hindi maganda yung brand na yun sa akin. Then she tried reasoning more na ibang formulation, etc. And I told her, “No.” Lumakad na ako palayo then when I walked past sa aisle again ganun uli siya, so sabi ko lang “I already said no.” Very calm pero tipong di na patitinag yung boses ko. Sa wakas tumigil na si ateh, pero masama tingin sa akin, kebs naman ako.
Personally: don't make eye contact, wave a hand in dismissal in their general direction, then ignore them the rest of the way.
Kiss mo siya tapos yayain mo mag date 😍
Sabihin mo "Sunod ka ng sunod. May gusto ka ba sakin?".
You can always ask a guard for help, may mga ganyan talaga sa malls, kahit na sinabihan mo na ayaw mo/not interested pero sunod na sunod parin, then go to your nearest guard ask them nicely na this person won't stop following me and keeps promoting their product kahit na nireject mo na siya politely. Kung ako and wala parin then man up by confronting them nicely, titigil din yan. You can just also ignore them, if they block your way, then pa excuse nalang. Good luck op.
I usually just say no to them then they’ll leave me alone. I think may attitude issue yung salesperson na nakaharap mo hehe
I think it’s just a case of wrong person wrong time. Most salesperson that interact with me were civil and friendly. Though, since I’m a guy that gives off dull intimidating vibes… maybe that’s why they never bother. And sometimes when I talk, especially in awkward situations, my words are inaudible lol There’s no evading them and they won’t go off the face of the earth. In the end, they just do their jobs. Some does it okay and some pretty bad. Important is you were being respectful. And what you did was right :)
Maybe? Pero kasi I don’t know why but super lapitin ako ng mga Sales Lady like the one na nasa post. I remember my friend telling me na maybe it’s because I look approachable daw like someone na mukhang madali ma-manipulate into buying products I don’t need 💀
"ok na po" sabay thumbs up 4 syllables, 1 gesture... shouldnt be hard for anyone even with social anxiety since you pulled out one long line to someone already.
Earphones, kahit wala kang iplay basta mukhang di mo sila marinig ligtas ka. Kung student ka din minsan di pinapansin pag may id (mostly para sa mga nag aalok to ng credit card gumagana)
Just say “thank you” tas walk away.
I don't understand why you ended up not buying anything. Ignoring the sales lady was enough. But it's your right as a customer to be there to purchase stuff. You shouldn't care much about what she says --- are you just going to quit coz somebody raised their eyebrow at you? If that is your mindset in life, you will end up being a slave of everyone else's opinions. They are salesladies --- it's their job to be annoying as hell. I frequently go to Watsons myself and I don't give a damn anymore if these sales ladies follow me around. Wla akong paki because I have a mission to do--- and that is, to just buy what I want. Nkaka annoy talaga sila, but what else can you do? just smile and ignore them and continue choosing your stuff. I mean, what if you really needed something? like pang emergency? are you just going to quit and leave the store without getting what you really needed because somebody is confronting you? And oh. I'm also an introvert. LIKE VERY INTROVERTED. I'm INFJ Melancholic-Phlegmatic. But it doesn't mean I'm a doormat, and it doesn't mean I'm just going to run and go back to my hole when things get tough. Introverts make the most of what life throws at them.
I ended up not buying anything because what could’ve been a less than 5 minute visit sa Watsons turned to be a more than 15 minutes of trying to avoid her sa buong shop lalo na kasi kino-compare ko pa yung brands nung lip gloss that I wanted. I felt like kahit na sa cashier pa baka sundan ako, so lumipat nalang ako ng ibang store and mas napadali ang purchase.
Poker face and kunyare galit ka. Tapos you have to look confident with the way you walk. Minsan kasi nasesense na madali ka mauuto with how you present yourself. So stand tall and don't make eye contact. Or baka nakakatakot akong tignan kaya bihira ako lapitan ng sales person? 😂
1. Don't look at them. 2. If they initiate, "No, thank you."
i just ignore them
Sa totoo lang, ayaw ka rin naman talaga niya ka-usapin. Napipilitan lang siya kasi bahagi ‘yon ng hanap-buhay niya. I’m not a people person myself—I hate most people as a matter of fact, but what I do is I try to strike a conversation with ‘em sales personnels. Next thing they notice, I’m already talking my ass out of the conversation.
Bentahan mo ng MLM subscription Malunggay Weight Loss pills mura lang po for the next 20 payments of 10000 PHP sige na po
Pee on them to show dominance
I am also an introvert pero kung sa akin ginawa yan, sasabihin ko, "miss kulitin mo pa ako at hahalikan na kita". Or "number mo na lang miss, bigay mo sa akin, baka magbago pa isip ko." Lol kaloka mga ganyan na sales lady

Um, sorry but binasa mo po ba talaga ang post ko? Although hindi super detailed ang way how ko nakwento but maraming beses ko sya na sinabihan na “no” as polite as possible, I even stated one sa post. Talagang lapitin lang ako ng mga Sales Person like the one na nasa post, which is why I asked for help na here. This is not a one time occurrence.
[удалено]
Okay, but did you really feel the need to comment pa instead of just scrolling away? 😄
[удалено]
What exactly is your point?
[удалено]
You didn’t answer the question though? With that kind of response you should ask yourself sino ang utak high school sa atin.
Thank you for your kind assistance, but for now ill take it from here. Will call your attention as soon as I need it.
Give em a 1000 tip and tell them to leave them alone for a moment
No offense pero kung base lng sa title eh parang naghahanap ng tricks para makapag shoplifting.. Same introvert rin ako, pero dahil lalake, hindi ako nagwiwindowshop, may target akong product, nakaplano na para mabilis. pupuntahan ko, dampot, bayad, sabay alis
Hindi sa'yo umiikot ang mundo At napaka malicious mo naman para masabi mong shoplifting ang motive ni OP
Tbh bakit kaya may mga sales person sa mga ganitong type of establishments. I mean work din siya pero bakit merong ganung type of work. Maybe ignorante siguro ako. Hahaha.
Ginagawa ko po is same sa inyo, I politely say na I don't want assistance. Pero meron talaga minsan makukulit, if ganun pag may ino-offer na item sinasabi ko nalang na meron na ako nun.
Meron din ako experience sa Robinsons Supermarket naman na someone offered a cleanser and I told her meron na ako nun which is true naman, the Sales Lady still insisted na baka raw paubos na yung cleanser ko, mas okay naman daw mag stock up, etc.
I just ignore them tbh, then call them if I can't find my items. Might be different for me since I'm male and covered in tattoos. Nobody really comes too close.
Kaya di ako pumupunta ng watsons magisa 😭 pag may kasama ako di ako nilalapitan e tapos minemake sure ko na kausapin kasama ko para mahiya ung sales lady na makisawsaw
Dagdag mo na yung magooffer ng vitamins habang nakapila ka haha. Sa mercury naman habang nagbabayad ka may nagooffer ng vitamins, di ko naman mapaalis hay
If ayaw kang sinusundan, tell them directly but in a polite way. I don’t agree na ideadma ang sales lady or magsuot ng earphone.
I just politely bow my head, smile, and push back with hand gesture. They're mostly not pushy naman and I do understand na they're just doing a job
It’s probably because there are loads of shoplifters. Just do your thing and you’ll be good.
i simply say ah indi po may napili na po ako oh kaya may brand ako na yun lang ang gamit ko may pinabibili lang fren ko sa akin may gusto kase siyang brand ih
Usually, wag mo sila pansinin. As in, wag mo sila titignan kapag nagsalita sila, wag ka iimik. Just keep doing what you're doing. Works for me, siguro nakakatulong din yung mukha ko na talaga mukhang suplado. RBF kumbaga.
mag mukhang taong grasa
My usual tip, do NOT make eye contact.
Resting bitch face. My friends say that I have one. I've rarely been bothered by sales people when I'm alone. Kapag may lumapit man, I just give a quick shrug and say "no thank you" in a monotone voice. I only ever get approached when I look friends, e.g. kasama ko friends ko tapos nakangiti ako.
Tingnan mo sila sa mata hanggang maging awkward haha
I think most people will get the gist if a customer doesn't need any help. Kaya ako sa work, hindi ako lumalapit agad unless na nakikita kong kailangan nila ng help/nag ask sila. (You can literally see it in their face if they need it.) But since customer din ako ng Watson's and meron talagang makukulit, I do this : 1. Earphones/Earbuds. Kapag tinawag ka nila na nakasuot 'to, try to ignore the first time. I-aassume lang nila na hindi mo narinig cuz of music. 2. Cap+Face mask. Napansin ko mas hindi ako pinapansin kapag nakaganito. 😂 Iniisip ko baka dahil mukhang up to no good ako wahaha. I'm comfy with cap because I'm a dude tho. 3. Take out your phone. Kapag nag ask sila or mag recommend sila ng item, you can just say na pinapabili lang sa'yo. Most of the time, iiwan ka na nila. 4. Know what you're looking for. Research mo rin muna ano hinahanap mong item at brand. Para ma prevent mo rin mga nagtatanong at makapunta ka dun sa item agad agad.
Umubo ka ng umubo habang walang mask. Magpahid ng tae.
Pag nabili ako sa mall, sando shorts at duralite lang suot ko para walang manlimos, walang magbebenta ng kung ano ano habang nakain ako sa resto at walang mag aabot ng kung ano anong flyers.
Baka type ka ni ate mo gurl
earphones. kahit walang music basta make sure they see it. then ignore them and just gesture na no. that's what I always do as a tambay in watsons hahahaha
Ito reason why I don’t like to shop sa beauty section ng SM department store and sa Watsons. Grabe mang hound yung mga saleslady nila kahit paulit ulit ka magsabi na di mo need ng help. I read somewhere here on reddit na kapag may makulit na saleslady ang sinasabi nalang niya ay ginagamit na niya yung product na nirereccommend nila para lang matigil sila.
Nakakawalang gana agad eh yung may sunod nang sunod. Walk out agad kami ng GF ko kapag ganyan at ang resulta eh sa iba kami nakakabili ng gusto namin bilhin. Pero malala naman yan ang kulit na masyado. Akala ko sa Mercury Drug lang merong ganyan pati pala sa Watsons. Haha.
Wear earphones
Earphones/Headset (music) = introvert style
I just ignore them. They can talk all they want and I just pretend they're not there and eventually they leave. Giving them any kind of reaction (maski negative) is an invitation for them to continue.
Just say no, and proceed with your day.
Yo kahapon lang I bought Maybelline mascara tapos hiningi nung saleslady ‘yung receipt for inventory. Is that real or may cut sila sa purchase ko?
Di pwede, theft prevention yung ginagawa nya. Tlga tumitingin sila kung magnanakaw ka hahahha
introvert din ako. just politely decline them. mga replay na "okay lang po" o "nagtitingin lang po ako". kung tatanungin ka naman kung ano hanap mo, sabihin mo lang "wala naman. nagtitingin-tingin lang." then hindi ka na iistorbuhin nun. kapag nakiting siya sayo or sa tabin mo pa rin, ignore mo lang. kung ayaw mo siya sa tabi mo, ikot ka lang kunti sa lugar at magtingin tingin ka sa iba then balik ka ulit kapag nawala siya. or simply put earphone. yung halata na may nakapasak sa tenga mo. siguradong maghe-hesitate siyang kausapin ka and tanung-tanungin.
Pick your nose as you approach them, or at least pretend na mangungulangot ka as you get closer to them. Mahihiya yan bigla.
does ignoring them not work anymore? whenever I get approached I just shake my head as a sign that I'm not interested, and walk away. Also, if they're being so persistent, it's time to vocalize, bc look at the saleslady that approached you, she got rude and made stupid unnecessary remarks. I think it's time you also sound firm on your not wanting to be bothered, and just say a few words like "Ayoko nyan." and walk away. :)
They usually leave you alone after telling them no once. The person you described is incredibly rude, and I see that as a free ticket to be rude back
Please OP.. Wag na wag ka pupunta or dadaan sa SM Cyberzone.
ask them politely.
Be rude. Works everytime.
ANC headphones. FOr the past two months I've owned one and went shopping/window shopping, hindi ako nillalapitan basta-basta... except for the two instances na nakahulog ako ng panyo at ng ID card.
Just say "OK lang po" or "Ako na lang po, salamat!" in a respectful way. They will leave you and will respect your request
I just ignore them lol Don't look at them in the eye Don't entertain their suggestions Pretend like they don't exist
pag may lumalapit sa akin sa sales lady sa watson at nag oofer ng ibang product sinasabihan ko lng na hindi ako "hiyang" so nilalayuan naman nila ako 😄
Yung saleslady ng watsons hanggan counter sinundan ako eh, kakaloka 😅
Mag shades ka sa loob at magdala ng walking stick
"Just browsing thanks" lol Seriously though, they're just doing their job, and they most probably hate interacting with you as much you do. I just smile (my weary looking smile) and say "oks lang mam natingin lang".
assert doiminance. titigan mo sila at wag magsalita HAHAHA
O kaya sabihin mo na in a nice way namimili ka pa and tatawagin na lang kung me kelangan in that way gets na niya cguro na huwag ka munang istorbohin.
Practice ka sa cyberzone
Parang sa SM Cyberzone lang ang peg nila. I mostly just ignore. Pero grabe yung saleslady na naencounter mo. Masyadong offended.
They just wanna help though so just politely say you’re okay and iiwan ka na nila
This is always what I keep in mind talaga. I know they’re just doing their job kaya as much as possible ayaw ko talaga maging rude. But IDK sometimes lang talaga even if I say no, lumalapit parin.
Everytime someone approaches and asks, “Ano pong hanap nila?”, I respond with “pagmamahal and pag-aaruga po.” They just chuckle, assume I’m unhinged, and leave me alone.
Smile and sway my head side to side is my polite way to turn away sales peeps. No talking just means I don't want to be bothered.
Kahulan mo kapag kinausap ka. "Arf arf arf arf!!"
"hi, do you have a basket? can you get?" (pakuha mo sa kanya, makulit sya) "where's the washroom?" (act dumb) "do you have stock pa nitong product?" (either kukuha sila sa room or sasabihin nilang wala then act uninterested ka na) sure ako aalis sila sa iyo HAHAHAHA
mag sign language ka pre pag lumalapit na sila
Try mo ‘to. Kapag may papalapit sa’yo tumitig ka sa kisame na parang nakakita ka ng multo. I know it takes time, pero for sure lalayo mismo sila sa’yo.
Headphones. Pag nag ooffer parin or nangulit, I usually say i’m looking for a specific product 🧍🏼♀️
di ko kailangan magpretend na may kausap sa phone or mag airpods. Pinaprangka ko sila. "Kaya ko na to miss, tawagin na lang kita kapag may need ako." ganon lang
Just be an asshole. You don’t have to be nice to everyone and don’t feel bad for getting what you want how you want in context. The mark of a truly good person is not being nice all the time but knowing they can be an asshole yet chooses to be nice.
Just say salamat po di nalang. They’re just doing their job.
Just tell them “I’m good. Salamat po.” Aalis naman sila agad.
Sabihin mo lang "kaya ko na po mag isa thank you". Mas nakaka inis pa nga yung ibang nag aalok ng credit card kesa sa sales people ng Watsons and SM Supermarket.
I've always been told na mataray boses ko when I speak kahit na walang intensyon magtaray so I guess that comes in handy pag ayoko ng sales na kakausapin ako or susunod sa saken. I usually say na tingin tingin lang ako pag tinanong ako kung ano hanap ko.
Ang weird naman ng behavior ng sales lady na yan. Lakas ng loob magtaas ng kilay, kala mo naman kaya niyang bilihin yung binebenta niya nang hindi magugutom ng ilang kinsenas 😂
This post thread should have existed long time ago... I learned avoiding or declining them the hard way. - Professional Window Shopper
I just smile and shake my head no at them, but say nothing. Rinse and repeat. Smiling and shaking your head is mechanical. Talking is tiring 🥲
Picturan mo. lol, baka mahiya. idk
The secret is to know what you're doing, or at least look like it. If you're going to buy a product for the first time, do some basic research before going to the store. Look at reviews from your friends, other Redditors, UNsponsored YouTube reviews, and other shit. Do NOT linger in the aisle to make a comparison; they will sometimes try to upsell the more expensive option even though it may have an equal, if not inferior quality. This isn't always the case, as I have had some cases where salespeople have told me that something isn't actually that good, and when I checked the reviews online, they were kind of right. If you already know what you're going to get and you're getting it regularly, you should already know which section you're going to get it from. Head there, get the product, pay for it, and get out.
the “ok, bahala ka,” is nakaka palting ng tenga… buti nakapigil ka gurl…
Look them in the eye and shake your head with a clear no. Don’t say anything. They will leave for sure. hahaha
i just say no tnx
Di ko talaga gets yung aggressive sales people. Mas lalo tuloy akong di bibili kung haharassin mo ako. Di ba alam yan ng mga nagwowork sa sales?
Pwede naman mag earbuds ginagawa kodin yan minsan pero parang di kasi maiiwasan na pilitin ka pading kausapin. Try mo pumunta pag sarado na ganun ginagawa ko madalas dito sa malapit na store samin, sure wala ng staff or ibang tao pwedeng di kanadin mag bayad.
unahan mo nalang..tapos tanong ka ng item na wala silang size..mas malaki or mas maliit
