Sadly I must go to BP tomorrow in Springfield I need to restock on rapalas and my job is 2 blocks from it, please pray for me lol.

Ok though I had the ultimate way to keep people from my block when I lived in FL. As some of you know I had a Reptile Business and when I saw them comming I would take my Big King Cobra in the front yard and get her to Hood up... Nothing like a 15FT King Cobra standing full hood at 5ft to scare people off. It was also great for when the house next to me was for sale to keep people from buying it i didnt think looked like good neighbors. Ended up getting a Jamaican moving in that was the best BBQer I ever met and his wife was a 5star pastry chef ( she really was ) Best neighbors in the world and after the Hurricanes were the first to get to everyones house and check on them.

I'll say a prayer for you.

Just tell them you are laid off of work and your unemployment is just about gone. No money for gas to get there and back.

They don't bother me much...I just tell them right off the bat I'm not interested. If they try to keep talking, I cut them off..."I'm not interested." But what we have here is..."I'm not interested. Thanks anyway." Usually third time's a charm. Takes about 15 seconds. Same technique is used for door-knocking Jesus converters.

With as many trips to Branson as I make, it's not at all bothersome to just tell the time share leeches "not interested" and walk away. don't even need to repeat if said firmly enough in the first place!

As far as the credit card offers at Cabela's a simple "got one" is enough to fend them off.

When the folks at Cabela's tell me I'll save 10 bucks if sign up for some stupid card I tell them I'll save a hundred if I turn around and walk out the door.

The big box stores are like lawyers, I'd be happy if I never laid eyes on another.

To bad there is no way to let Johnny Know how people feel and are treated by these people. From the shows I have seen him on and the interviews he seems like the kind of person who would deal with it.

If you feel you are being unduly harassed by one of the sales associates go to the customer service desk and ask to speak to the Manager on Duty. Voicing your concerns calmly and politely usually work. And the Manager will address the issue. If you still don't feel that your issue was properly handled call and complain. 417-873-5000 ask for Retail Administration.

Seems like we were all better off back in the days of smaller local businesses and stores.... days before the big box stores. I was never approached at any non-chain store for credit cards, vacations or anything else for that matter.... I'll stick to ordering online... saves fuel, mileage on the vehicle and even time. I can even catch an episode of swamp people or mythbusters while ordering via the internet.
