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.
