I would be so annoyed if someone did this to me. You don't know if we like the scent or if we already got perfume on. They usually offer some but that's it. You really got to work on that. And you deserved it because that's really not something smart.

This is exactly why I actively avoid the perfume department if I can. That's not creative. That's really ******* douchey.

Today, I started my job selling wrecking balls door to door. I decided to be creative and demolished the first house I saw. The people inside all died. FML

I'm sorry but how exactly is this creative?? I mean honestly this is the reason normal people avoid the perfume section at every department store. You totally deserve whatever you get. If nothing else, then simply for a lack of originality.

I hate to say it, but you're probably gonna get sued and fired.

how is that considered creative? ydi

That's not being creative that's being an asshole.

as someone who also sells frangrence, i understand. my boss who get mad if i offered frangrance in the form of the queation and encouraged us to be assertive. next time just pass out sample cards instead of spraying it directly on the customers. honest mistake.

...At one of the department stores near my house, the sales clerks have to do what the OP did if they want to not get fired. I hate it with a passion and always go in through the other entrance than the one that the perfume counter is at. :|

The great George Carlin, and a number of other comedians, suggested carrying a lighter into these departments. Hold it out in front of you as you walk around, lit, and let these assholes decide how lucky they feel about their bottle of 'I Don't Give A Shit #9'.
