Is it just me...

... or is the Arndale Centre getting really irritating with all the new little stalls with people who constantly trying to grab your attention "scuse me can i ask you", "scuse me have you got sky", "scuse me can i ask you a couple of quick questions".

I don't want to seem rude, but when I'm home I go into town pretty much every day and am getting really fed up. I understand its their job, but whose idea was it to put them all there! You cant avoid them, they are everywhere! There are at least 4 stalls now and there is no getting past them! GGGrrrrrrrr!!!!

Easy, say NO, if they ask again say "do you want to come to my stall, its just round the corner, I sell hearing aids" they won't ask again

I absolutely agree with you-im fine with it all until i walk past once and decline their offers of pedicures or whatever they are doing or a try of the cheap nasty toys and then
they ask me two minutes later when i walk out of a shop.plus i would rather it was like a German market at this time of year-a nice bratwurst and some gluvine like in Manchester.....yum!

There was one insurance guy who wouldn't take no for an answer the other week. I was in a hurry. I was heading to a shop. I'd told him no already but then he pounced on me again when I came out of the shop. It is turning shopping in the Arndale into an ordeal and I for one will be avoiding going in there as much as possible now.

LOL! I'm with flashy on this one

I've found politeness is wasted on these people, a good old fashioned insult is all they seem to understand.

not mentioning any name's but if people like that used to annoy a certain person whilst she was in town she used to run into them with a pram
