Nexus Mall (Judgemental sales folks)

Went to this store that had watches of different brands on display. Was looking at the watches without touching anything or bothering anyone when suddenly this gentleman comes and asks - "Looking for men or women sir ?" to which I reply - "For women". He then asks - "What is the budget sir ?" so I respond politely - "No no, I'm just looking for now". This guy, scans me from head to toe, makes a face and walks away. Then he kept staring at me and my friends until we left the store.

Why does the showroom sales staff believe that they own the store ?

I've experienced this at other places too - I guess it's normal in Bangalore to experience this besides open hostility against the Northerners.

I hope the people of the city see us as one of them - We do not mean harm to anyone. Nor do we live in the city for free, for we pay a super high income tax for the opportunities that we have availed.
