Do you find overly-helpful retail associates annoying?

Like the ones that ask if you need help every 5 minutes. The ones telling you every shoe you try on " looks good on you" to convince you to buy it.

I Understand what customer service is, as I worked retail for many years, but we didn't have to be annoying...happy medium is all.

Speaking from experience, because their boss told them to. Everyone feels annoyed by overly helpful people, even overly helpful employees. Each boss comes with their own expectations and way of running their store, and being extra helpful is just what some bosses prefer for the best ratings and store inspections.
