I guess i'm the opposite...i enjoy places where the sales people are working on a commission basis. I know that i'm holding all the cards, and can usually get some free stuff thrown in just for making the purchase.

When they start on the "extended warranty" stuff, I tell them that i absolutely MUST have the warranty, but the extra money is more than i can afford. Its fun to watch them all of a sudden talk DOWN the extended warranty so that i'll still buy the product.....

  No.

  I have, on the other hand, turned around and started walking off after
  the 3rd "no, thank you.  not interested.  screw off" kinda response.

  I announced loudly that I was going somewhere I wouldn't be harassed by
  the staff and got 10% off from the manager.  :-)
