It’s not your option they want to go away, it’s their migraine.
Granted, and if I could take away their migraine without giving up my choices or privacy, I would gladly do so. I don’t have anything against retail clerks per se.
Remember when valley Circle-K’s had a sign on the register asking customers to call corporate in Phoenix and rat the clerks out if they DIDN’T try to upsell you? That was idiotic for three reasons:
o Why would I report someone for NOT trying to manipulate me?
o While the clerk is hardly my bosom buddy, I know him better than I know anyone at corporate, so why would I rat him out for THEIR sake?
o Essentially they’re trying to turn the customers into secret shoppers, which is a known occupation companies pay money for. Why should I do it for them for free when other companies have to pay people to do it?
