I believe that 90% of all makeup counter staff are lovely. Utterly lovely. But we've all had bad days and just because someone isn't overly friendly doesn't mean they're horrible. They might be tired? Unwell? Fight with the boyfriend or girlfriend? So always ere on the side of niceness :)
NEVER EVER EVER go to a counter and test test test without the intention of buying! Its just plain rude! I'm talking to you here MANDY! lol
Ask for samples: There is little to no reason for them not to give you a sample - particularly if you are looking for a new foundation etc... It might break you out? You might react to it? And asking for a sample is not a crime. If they can't or don't provide you with it - then bring your own empty jar. If they still don't - then go elsewhere.
No one likes pushy sales staff. Its never nice and after politely telling them you'r fine looking, most will leave you alone until you're ready. If they keep persisting then of course, move away.
Get a make over! You can learn some amazing skill, tips etc... and most of the time its free or you will get the value back in makeup that you buy. Wonderful way to buy and get a great service. MAC do these amazingly well (normally).
Makeup friends withe the counter staff. Most are lovely, can become friends and give you a wealth of information for free and those that truly love their job will love to talk to you about the upcoming makeup releases.
Let me know what your experiences!

Working retail myself, I totally understand the "bad day" thing. But what I hate most, is putting someone at the makeup counter who has no interest ("it's just a job") or has no clue! Frustrates the bijesues outta me!

Lol! Your so funny bro!
Once me and my best friend walk into a mac store, all the staff were dressed up in black, spiky, gothic clothing and were sporting wild and wacky hair and makeup.
I was looking through some cream blush and turned around to check it out, coincidently one of the staff was charging 'at me' (they were actually walking to a near by counter), my body reacted before my brain. I shrieked at the top of my lungs and dashed out of the store. My friend later clarified that they hadn't even been running let alone at me.
I felt really bad after, but I am yet to walk into another mac store since!

Loved this video. You are spot on with everything. I worked on counters for years and loved it all. But everybody has bad days and a little understanding goes a long way. I've made some great friends at the counter; people I will never ever forget! Thank you for your refreshing attitude and practical suggestions!
