      I never came across another person who hates it too, lol. Here all this time, my friends, family, and girlfriends have made me feel like I'm some kind of mean old troll that's angry and bothered by someone who is simply "doing their job"

      Doing their job whilst, at the same time, spoiling my experience !! I have come to expect this behaviour from some sales assistants and have learnt to say to them "Thanks but I'm just looking right now. Will come to you if I have any questions or need your assistance" If they then don't allow me my time and space then I'm gone  😉

        I don't think it's an unpopular opinion, it's like being in a Restaurant. The Service has to find the exact spot between being too present and not caring at all. What i really find annoying is when I find out after 2 sentences that the salemans knows less about a product than I do while still thinking he's the man. happened to me in bicycle & Whisky stores.

        > I don't care what people say.. The Max Power way is the right way…

          ^ Agreed.  There is a real middle ground.  Can't stand being hounded at a store.  I understand the fact that for a majority of dudes, if they are in a store, it's because they are there to get the thing they came for and get out.  But some actually go in to browse.  And just because you look at something or touch it doesn't mean you want to try it on/buy it.

          On the other hand if I walk into a store, especially one that is not busy, and am not at least greeted soon after entering I usually turn around and walk out soon after.  It's more of a common courtesy than anything.  I don't expect or want any special treatment but I'd like to be acknowledged as someone who might want to give the store some money.

          Adding to Max, knowing more than the sales associate about the products they're trying to sell can get real annoying.  At some of the stores around here the best they can do is tell me the denim is selvedge.

            Some of these unpopular opinions need moving to First World Problems thread, "ooh I hate being pressured by staff in the high end clothing store or whilst eating in a fancy restaurant"  😉

                      Here's a real unpopular opinion for everyone. You're all, each and every one of you and me included, complete hypocrites.

                      We have all made a fuss about cheap labour, child labour, unsafe working conditions in some countries and exploitation etc….

                      Anyone here shop at IKEA? Anyone have ethically produced bedding, towels, cutlery, carpets, TV's, smart phones, games consoles, computers, home furnishings and decorations? All of it ethically produced?

                      Let's be honest here, we all pick and choose our ethics to our own interests, budgets and tastes don't we? None of us are Snow White on this because not many can be. The mass market has beat you down somewhere in your life and there's nothing you can do about it.

                      Now that's how you do an unpopular opinion.

                            Right.  That was borderline the same as saying all humans are incredibly flawed.  It is my opinion but it's also a fact.

                            For the record, I completely agree with you.

                                Uncomfortable fact, not an unpopular opinion.

                                And by the way, I went to the gym earlier, so literally everything I'm wearing was likely made by third world children and from fibers originating in a refinery.

                                  How can insulting the purported values of every man, woman and child on the forum not be unpopular ? :o

                                    Here's an unpopular one…. Not trying to grow and learn to do better is much worse than just being a hypocrite. It's being a void surrounded by a sphincter. 😛
