I'm like the 50th person to quote this, but yeah. Dopefish speaks the truth.
I've been working in a certain department store for a year (my anniversary was yesterday.. gah) and all I can really say is that some of the customers you get will make you want to pull your hair out. However, not -all- of them are bad, and think of it this way: you're not working in fast food.
Seriously though, I'm not on commission and I don't worry too much about catching every person that comes into my department and asking what they need, but I do try to help when I can.
Does the store you're working at have a credit card? Do they expect you to get a certain amount of customers to sign up for one? Mine does and boy oh boy do I hate bugging people to apply. Some stores are strict though and will penalize associates who don't meet the standards. I'm not trying to scare you though. Just relax and hopefully you'll be fine.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
