DO NOT APPLY FOR SALES JOBS IN GLASGOW
so i was at this job for a good 2 days before i had to leave for personal reasons and at first it was fine, i went door to door asking ppl if they wanna sign up to a charity and if they say no they say no. but when i went back about last week i quit after 1 day. i was shadowing this absolute nightmare, we were at a door and this woman proceeded to say she has no bank details or card on her. fair enough me too. he asks for bank statements or even telling her to phone a family member for the card details… she’s clearly doesn’t wanna sign up to this stupid charity which a minimum donation is £10. like not everyone has tha to spare. he kept telling me not to take no for an answer when at the doors which is absolutely fucking ridiculous.
before going to the doors i learnt not to sign someone up that’s too old or too vulnerable, which wasn’t a problem for this guy cuz at the another door there was this 88 year old woman who was very hard of hearing and she kept telling him she wasn’t giving bank details to him and he just kept asking and asking like this was basically how it went:
Guy: so can i sign you up?
Woman: no i don’t give my bank details out
Guy: thats fine if you wanna go grab it i can do it for you, yeah?
Woman: but i dont give them out and plus my daughter has them
Guy: go get your phone and call your daughter and tell her to give you the details over the phone
Woman: i dont want too
(she kept saying no for a good 5 mins) then eventually she shut the door and he proceeded to stay here and talk to her through the door basically demanding she signs up. im so glad i left cuz they are all so fuckin desperate for money (which we all are but they are way way worse) that they try and scam old vulnerable people. the demanding happened at almost every door and everyone kept telling him no and he just kept saying to sign up and give more than £10.
PLS DO NOT WORK IN SALES EVER ITS ALL SCAM
not to mention it was commission only so what if i worked 10 hours for 5 days and got no sales. isn’t that just awful? who would do that.
edit: forgot to mention the guy i shadowed took like 3 zyns while at doors ect
