I get annoyed when sales people come up to me out of no where and start babbling non-stop about products or services I have absolutely no interest in. Majority of them are credit card promoters. These days, my frustration with sales people hit a new high.

It is so annoying to have inconsiderate sales people approach when my baby Clarisse had just dozed off. I don’t know about your baby, but Clarisse is an extremely distractable baby. It’s a chore to get her to nap when my husband and I are out shopping.

Today while we were out shopping, it happened not once but twice. And wait for it … the same credit card sales promoter! Needless to say, when that man approached us the second time, I was very angry and so was my husband. I told him off “Can’t you see my baby is sleeping?!”. Rudely, I might say, but at that instance I was so mad at him for waking up baby Clarisse. Again.

If you’re reading this, and you are in sales promotion, I understand that is part of your job. I have no qualms about what you do as long you spare a bit of consideration for mothers who are carrying a sleeping baby. Bear in mind you might startle a baby from their nap and I can assure you most mothers won’t like that at all.

RIght, I’m done ranting. Thanks for lending an ear.
