To be fair, for so long those positions were commissioned cut throat positions that consumers just instinctively assume they are being scammed when a sales person approaches them.
I am surprised they didn't also reply, I suppose you want me to buy that additional 2 year warranty too? (Which would have been funny if you retorted "you will need one for that Toshiba!")
Yup, exactly right, which is why I tried to be very honest with people. I wasn't commissioned, I really just wanted them to get the best product for their use, but most took that as me trying to scam them.
And funny about the warranty lol, because yup we had to hock that too, but I chose which people I pitched what to. "Aw no you aint giving me no accident protecting warranty". "Lady you just told me how your demonspawn kid ruined your last laptop, maybe it's not such a bad idea to get one of these warranties".
but dude comes in who obviously knows computers? Nah I don't need to pitch a warranty to him
