I was in a store awhile back, and had this happen to me, haha. Do you find whenever you only want to browse and don’t wish to be approached, everyone seems to ask if you need help? Conversely, the times you do need help, do you often find it impossible to find anyone who seems free?
I’m nearly certain it’s some type of perception bias, but after the latter happened to me one time, my partner mentioned that he thought the culprit could be my hat. I was skeptical, but the next time I tried to visit this store, I tried taking off my hat before entering. I was approached almost immediately by an extremely helpful individual, who I was very grateful for her expertise. While I cannot say this was 100% due to taking off the hat, I found it internally amusing, haha.
