      ^ 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.

                          I literally laughed out loud though! I don't use it lightly 🙂

                            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. 😛

                                            The same place I get all my extra heavily soiled underwear: Goodwill. No… The grandparents gift towels to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. No idea why, it must be a cultural thing. Maybe it's just something us Catholic Republicans do here in 'Merica... Guns, TV, suburbia, Limbaugh, wall-mart, Trump, Jesus, and towels; the American dream!

                                            If I were to help pick out towels though, I'd get these color grown cotton ones because they become more vibrant if you piss on them. Seriously, it has something to do with chemical reaction to changes in PH level.....
