[quote=JABAROOTOO,250904]Yes, all the time and I don't think it has much to do with security.  The poor things have nothing else to do and they really have never been taught any sales skills.

When I get shadowed like that, especially in a clothing store where I am looking for something specific, I generally turn myself around looking directly on the staff and walk right into their space until I see them feeling uncomfortable.   This usually works to get them to back off but I doubt that they actually get the point.  I sometimes then ask if they feel  comfortable.

The other option is to keep stepping backwards until you stand on them enough times for them to realize that they may be in your way.  If you can speak Chinese then tell them they they are crowding you.  Even after stating that I will look on my own I still have staff offering me things that I would not consider in a pink fit and of course the others who want to show their skills by telling you what a toaster or a vacuum cleaner is (two still rather modern appliances in some places in China toady) , like you'd never seen or used one before.   Just having a curious look at anything in China is a sign that you really want to buy something it would seem.

But when I do find something that I may in fact wish to buy, there is either no one to serve me or there is nothing in my size of colour.[/quote]
