Overeager and abundant is at least better than useless or nonexistent.

That's pretty debatable and I will actually walk out of a store if staff continue to bother me after I have already politely said I do not need help. I have found that this happens all the time in consumer electronic stores. They circle you like vultures and butt in and explain things even after you have said you don't need or want their assistance.

Thank goodness for Internet shopping. Whenever I can I buy online specifically so I don't have to put up with sales people like the ones described in this article.

I routinely suffer going into a store and not being to able to find staff because they are busy chatting on the phone, or just openly not giving a shit. As much as I hated 'overeager' when I lived in the US, they could at least help me get the information or the product I was looking for.
