and i’m sure there are so many other sh*t that sales associates say.. feel free to add yours on the comments section! lol i’m just dying to know what other sh*t people have heard.. my biggest peeve is when they call me “hun, dear, sweety, etc” while i’m sure their intentions means well.. it’s so obnoxious and i don’t even want to hear what they have to say next. lets keep it professional because i am sure there are some that want to pursue the sales role as their career because they love what they do and are really really good at it.
