Sales and Service jobs are one of the fastest growing jobs in the country right now. Other options are healthcare, and computer science. So basically if you can't afford school or have the time, you won't have any options but to work in a sales job. Most people don't really have a choice, even target convinces cashiers to get people to open credit cards. Fast food places start to ask if you are interested in one of their promotions well. And there is always a supervisor breathing down someone else's neck if they don't "give the customer the script". I think it's important for customers to just be polite and say no thank you. They think employees do it on purpose but it's really upper level management that enforces it. It's also one of the reasons why I went back to school. lol
