Every Sales Rep At The Mall

[@YazminXOxo]

I don’t care about the sales people at perfume counters! I literally ignore them and smell whatever I want! Then I purchase them online at a cheaper price!

[@fatshady5714]

DATZ WUTZUP!!

[@JilaniAllen]

lmfao literally me. like the only dumb ass in this situation is the sales rep thinking i'm going to buy this at full retail. im just here to see if i like it that's it.

[@junkies1111]

💯 me too

[@jeffgutierrez643]

If a sales rep spends a little time with you preventing you from buying $100 worth of samples, I’ll buy from them since they saved me that money.

[@humbertogutierrez9300]

This is the only way

[@Fresh_Indeed]

Bro...... I just had this same experience at Neiman Marcus last weekend. I went there to buy French defense by mind games and a replacement bottle of my now empty PDM Harod but I wanted to smell French Riviera and Roses Vanille by Mancera since they had them both. I asked the lady, since I'm buying two expensive fragrances can she maybe give me a sale price if I also bought the Roses Vanille? This lady had the Nerve to say to me that "this is Neiman Marcus Sweetie not the flee market" I said oh??? I that so?? You can go ahead and put all those back then because I'm gonna buy them somewhere where I'm not spoken down to while spending my hard earned money. She then told me she can give me 15 percent off the Mancera but I told her I didn't appreciate what she said to me and I refuse to give her commission from my sale. Jomashop got my money instead and it was way cheaper.

[@MOVIES4COD]

Absolutely right decision! I mean in times of online shopping, you gotta be grateful to have people willing to buy your overpriced stuff in stores..

[@TeleeFONE]

That's how you treat rude salespeople, I've done something similar a few times, and I said put it back I'm not interested and walk away, you rude you lose.

[@iamjholloway]

I only go in to sniff. Very rarely will I purchase in store. TFS 😊

[@kinghenny312]

i was at neimans yesterday and the sales person said “ok 3..2..1..make a decision” yea im online discounter shopping only. almost bought rouge smoking extrait but the countdown turned me off and its on venba for way cheaper.

[@aromatixrrt]

@@kinghenny312 its insane

[@RandyPimentel-v8f]

macy be number one i cant even walk in without someone following or asking, like im here to see what i want

[@autumnasters]

⬛️ 🟫 People DEFINITELY know this feeling.

[@David-vy2wq]

On god 🇯🇲

[@Yuda-ed1wi]

True, I can’t stand it every time I want to smell they have to come up to me and I just feel like telling them to leave me alone and then I feel uncomfortable smelling😂

[@Pizza____God]

sales reps makes me feel like im getting cat called. They are so aggressive

[@aromatixrrt]

@@Pizza____God 🤣🤣

[@thefragrancevol753]

That's why I love Sephora so much. You go in there, find a new release, spray it on your skin, and no one seems to mind. I actually bought a fragrance from Sephora about a week ago in large part because they allow me to do this

[@morethanyourbasics]

I honestly didn't get into fragrances until I started to buy middle Eastern and online. the prices were more economical to try a variety of scent profiles and I often found myself steered toward feminine and floral perfumes or trying one or two fragrances at a time and spend a long time on them versus smelling multiple. I've discovered I enjoy a unisex and/or gourmond profile. it was a lot easier to do that alone or online than in-store

[@rainyfincher4293]

Not to mention they are ignorant to fragrances. I told a lady at Dillards I was wearing Delina and she said "never heard of it" huh. The same store somebody recommended TF "noyer" aka Noir. 🤦

[@s.dantzler9220]

It's just sad man! I've gone through this multiple times myself, just ridiculous!

[@mariacarrillo9423]

Bummer!! Sorry to hear you went through that. Being judged by the way the we look or dress or the color of our skin is a horrible thing. Stay safe and healthy!!

[@mariovvava5776]

These sales people don't even know anything about perfumes. I like to embarasse tbem every time. Haha

[@humbertogutierrez9300]

Yes it happened to me too a he act pissed after that 😂😂 at Macys

[@zaidrasheed7738]

Pisses me off. They are constantly staring and one time a sales rep touched my shoulder I was like get off me dude. It was Hudson's bay in Mississauga, Ontario.

[@deanprendergast2981]

I just use the perfume stores to smell the fragrance then straight away if I like it look online for the cheapest option, some stores are so expensive then you look at their online store they have discount codes etc, they need to match the prices the same at their online shops otherwise I don’t see in store perfume shops staying opening, they just prey on the newbies and offer them Dior Savauge 😂

[@SalehHassanmp9ry]

I specifically go in there to smell fragrances so I can buy them online 😂 I put on some headphones and completely ignore the sales representatives

[@rockboy-t5645]

good idea!!

[@StoneCologne316]

This is one of the reasons why I’ll never walk into a Macys ever again. Had a similar situation. Wanted to test some fragrances the lady wouldn’t leave me alone and kept pushing. I said I don’t buy retail and just wanna test some out. Ended up getting into it with her about reformulations and she said that doesn’t exist lol I walked right out. Some of these places the reps go after the average consumer who’s got that fuck you money to drop. If I were in your shoes I’d tell them I guess I’ll drop $500-1000 elsewhere, byeeee 😂

[@beaver6d9]

I leave as soon as they start coming for me, and that's immediately after I start sniffing

[@aromatixrrt]

LOL frr

[@ajdicarlo8693]

my life all the time, i use to really enjoy this, saved so much money just wearing, testing out different smells.. im an introvert who loves frags, they treat me like a pyschopath in there, they jealous that theyre working, and youre living, is the insecurity

[@davetip79]

I don’t think the stores understand collectors . Most people walk in once or twice a year and smell one or two then immediately buy and leave . Collectors take our time and often times don’t buy. My local Sephora knows me but if I walk into another to see if something has dropped , they’ll try to show me Myself . I have to explain that I literally own EVERY frag on their shelve and was looking ONLY for the new one

[@cheekster777]

Thanks Neeb.

[@chadrickpool8597]

Neeb, you should have set them straight in the language they were talking shit in. They lost a good commission today. It's ridiculous.

[@carlostomas1917]

I agree. Depends on the salesperson. Ive had rude ones who wouldn't give or make me any samples, and ive had good ones who go above and beyond giving samples. Even though i buy 95% online, I would literally over spend and give the good ones the sale. Because i dont go into Dillard's often, the generous sales lady isnt usually there when i go back, but the rude one seems to always be there.

[@nicholassantana2]

Neiman is so f***** annoying lmaooo, they’ll come back over and over and make you feel horrible lmaoo

[@ThalanX]

It's because people are stealing the testers. During the holidays I actually watched 2 people steal Creed testers at Nordstrom while I was shopping. The salesman said it happens every day.

[@Paulguynj]

But that's no excuse for rude service because testers get stolen They don't pay for the testers and they get them by the dozens. I know this because I used to sell fragrances..So, they shouldn't be worried about testers being stolen. I never did and it happened numerous times daily..There's no shrinkage off their back either if a tester is stolen and technically it's not theft because it's not for sale. Our LP told us by law there's nothing they can do about it.

[@ClaudiaGarcia-hu5uo]

They also try to push you to buy. And it gets annoying when you clearly tell them you needed to know what it smells like before you purchase

[@stephenworldwide]

Where I live in Japan, the sales reps do the spraying. The customer is not supposed to touch the bottles, especially with higher-priced brands.

[@SalSabeel10]

I visited a mall in Dubai to try out some perfumes without any intention of buying. I informed the sales representative beforehand, but he still offered me test strips with scents like Creed Aventus, Aventus Absolu, and Tom Ford. After a while, I started feeling shy and decided to leave the store.

[@Paulguynj]

Those sales associates are strictly hired for their sales experience resume only and usually know nothing about fragrances. The rare occasion I run into ones that know fragrances well are also the best to deal with; and without any high pressure sales tactics. The vast majority may be good at sales, but rarely know anything about fragrances. I've learned never to bother asking them about anything because I know way more then they do. 😂😂I tell them right away I'm fragrance hobbyist and they usually leave me alone (except for the ones who have good fragrance knowledge) because they know there's nothing they can do to sell you anything when you know more than they do! They also somehow know we're the least likely to buy anything in the store if we're a fraghead. So, they disappear quickly. 😂😂

[@SalehHassanmp9ry]

This is so true they usually don’t know anything

[@rainyfincher4293]

I wish you would have told them I was going to purchase a few of these but then I heard you guys talking trash.😂

[@fallguy6196]

Fragrance counter people are literally the biggest clowns ever. They have zero clue how to act or treat people and have zero clue about fragrances

[@ilovebrocoli6068]

This is why I never even try to smell anything at Macy's even though I love fragrances.

[@M2habibi]

They hungry for commission like I'm not about to go buy lattafa or paris corner's version when I get out 🗿

[@traffictraffic]

In my country, they don't allow you to try fragrances on your own. A worker always has to spray it for you, and when they do spray it, it's barely half a spray, literally. That's why I prefer to get my own samples. I can spray as much and as many times as I want.

[@darrellpeak2914]

Neeb, that’s a shame. Where I live (south Louisiana) and shop. I have good relationships with several of the sales reps and house reps. I tell them up front I wanna try a certain few and if something really catches me, I’ll put it on skin. I also ask for carded samples to try out higher dollar frags to see if I really wanna spend the $$. I buy decants of frags not readily accessible at Macy’s/Ulta/Dillards/Sephora.

[@trytoneee]

Not to mention some of the times they don't even know what they are talking about, no the EDT EDP Parfum is NOT the same fragrance 😅

[@ESPARTAN-ci7de]

ITS HOSTILE GOING TO MACYS/NORDSTROM... I GO TO TEST & IF I LOVE IT I BUY IT...🙄🙄🙄

[@shoeplugtony7018]

Trust me I was just at Somerset in Troy and they did me the same way

[@therealarijbaby]

I went to that same mall for the first time on Friday. It’s about an hour drive, but close to my new car dealership so this was the first time I got to experience niche frags without buying samples. I visited Neiman Marcus this sales rep latched onto my girlfriend and followed us through the whole fragrance area, literally on our shoulder the whole time. I had a list of things I haven’t smelled yet that I came to check out and we were constantly pressured into smelling other frags. We just decided to leave bad experience…

[@Ahmed-qc1xs]

Neeb I feel bad my brother. I've never had a bad experience at somerset saks or Neiman but honestly I wouldn't be surprised if one of the ladies backbited me in Arabic and was only nice to my face.

[@cheekster777]

I hear about this happening a lot in large department stores etc. it shouldn’t especially at the prices of some of these fragrances but sadly it all boils down to the individual staff members

[@DjLoNYC]

My 2 experiences at Neiman Marcus were surprisingly pleasant and I did a lot of sniffing with decent employees. The Dior rep was first to tell me about DHP release and it scared the hell out of me. Should’ve backed it up immediately! But today at Macy’s I was bombarded with workers trying to help me with stuff I didn’t want to smell. I know what I’m looking for and am willing to listen but they were so overbearing, I just left. Never seen it like that before.

[@rxl209pourhomme6]

When are your next fragrances coming out? I gotta get my hands on them. I’ve already been dipping further into the house of French Avenue.

This is a good reason to get thise new earbuds that look like hearing aids that translate a bunch ch of different languages. Just to know what people are saying about u in their language while shopping.

[@IdnafalaJaris]

Tried an experiment in Saudi, I don’t look like an arab but I speak Arabic. Went into the store speaking english and they started making fun of me in Arabic because I was trying to smell some “testers”😂

where do you get samples? decanters?

I go online for the reviews, but I buy at a retail location like Macys. Am I doing it wrong?

[@ZedsBills]

Why buy retail when you can find it 60% off?

[@Mama_Funk]

Neeb, How can anyone treat YOU so rudely?? I remember being so excited to visit a Guerlain counter in NYC, (something I cannot do in South Bend). I knew more about Guerlain fragrances than the S.A! Newsflash: not all perfume counter sales associates are Fragheads! How disappointing 😮

[@aromatixrrt]

Some people are just not kind

You’ve got to have a bit more tougher skin. Sometimes it’s not them it’s you. I smell them and ignore the staff 😂
