"The Creepiest And Weirdest Sales Assistants In Dubai Award"
And the jury has voted unanimously for..............
Everyone who works in American Eagle at MotE............
The most 'normal' one was The Effeminate Nailbiter............ The Fat Giggler and The Crooked-Toothed Lisper made me feel very uncomfortable.
They've actually got some good stuff in there (and the prices are OK, at least while the DSF is still on), but you should only go in there if all your innoculations are up-to-date...............

I always like the sales assistant that stands that little bit too close, follows you around the store and is singing a couple of verses from the Quran to himself. That isn't uncomfortable at all.

Sales assistants in Tokyo bark some high pitch squeal Jap phrase at you when you enter. Bit mad really.

Re: "The Creepiest And Weirdest Sales Assistants In Dubai Award"
You are aware that American Eagle and its Abercrombie & Fitch "upscale" counterpart are considered tacky, overpriced clothes in the US, largely favoured by lower middle class suburbanites who live in tract housing estates?
By the way, I find that completely ignoring the sales assistants work. Don't register their presence, look straight through them, don't respond when they speak.
I always do this at the beginning. If I want help later on I point my finger at the nearest Pinoy or Lebos and say 'You there. Come here. I want this in X size, you have it, yes or no?'
I find that destablising them first and making them nervous later is far more effective than being polite and friendly.
