Do you feel that you can't trust shop people's opinions on clothes?

I mean they work on commission so I feel when they say something they will say whatever they have to in order to sell you the clothes. I am a guy and have had young women shop people around my age tell me how good my ass looks and how my ass shows their ass up and my mind just thinks oh yeah you are just complimenting me to make me buy these.

Yes, I feel the same as you do. 4
No, you are being too cynical. 2

    Why would anyone trust anyone else's opinion on clothes? Surely you know what you like?
    As for the shop assistants though, definitely don't trust them, for the reasons you state.. That applies to any goods on sale not just clothing.

    Dude I work in retail and yes, we will say whatever just to sell shit. It's part of the job and I can get fired if I don't sell a certain amount of something.

    • Yeah. The shop owners put pressure on you to sell shit. However, shop owners need to be careful they don't push that too hard or they will drive their customers away. Do you work in a clothing shop?

        I work at a department store that sells clothes, food, electronics, toys, etc. As for pushing customers away: the company I work for is a big one so if one customer is chased away, another replaces them.

    I've worked in retail before and yes, we are supposed to sell... even if that means telling a white lie when something doesn't look that great. If we don't want to be dishonest, we're told to "upsell", which means suggesting something else we think you might like to tempt you.

    If you're concerned, try stuff on in the changing rooms where there's mirrors and you can see yourself, or have a friend come along to help. Personally it's never bothered me, I can shop for my own clothes without any second opinions, but I know it does bother some people.
