I went into the downtown Vancouver Sport Check- Coast Mountain store to spend my holiday gift card. I was planning to purchase a new jacket for myself. As I browsed the shelves and racks of jackets several sales reps greeted me. One or two of them were helpful. But, I started to get irritated with the agressive and annoying sales employees, when I started to try on a couple of jackets, half a dozen different salespersons would approach me and say,"Can I help you?"
I replied, "Thank - you, but someone is already taking care of me."
Two mintues later after a sales associate walked away from me to reshelve a jacket that was too big for me. I was approached again by another Sport Check employee who said, "Hi, Are you finding everything you need?"
I answered," Yes, I'm fine."
By the time, my original sales person returned to check up on me at least three different employees came to ask me if I needed help finding or looking at something.
What was really irritating is that before I could actually take a good look at a jacket or even try it on to see how it fit a zillion sales representatives would pop out of nowhere and interject with their well scripted company greeting.
After spending 20 minutes in the store, I think I had 7 different Sales associates come to ask me if I needed help. I finally left the store empty handed and irritated at the annoying sales tactic used by Sport Check employees. I did not like being constantly asked by employees, if I required assistance. When I need you, I will go and fetch you, otherwise just leave me alone !
