Okay, so it really is Overstock's policy to be pushy. You know how you dread going into some stores because you're going to be pounced on by a sales rep? I'm on their site looking at comforters again, yes? And I'm going back and forth between two browser windows, scrolling up and down and comparing information, when guess what pops up?
Good God, people. Can't you just leave us be? I feel like the screaming guy in the second episode of Black Books. When I want to buy something from you, I'll let you know. Otherwise, just simmer down, wouldja? Taggification: overstock, sales Filed under: Ranting

John Robinson is a writer of prose, poetry and comics who also writes under
the pseudonym of Widgett Walls.
This is my latest book. Short stories written especially for you, or at least someone who reminded me a lot of you at the time.
This is insane, the entire point of browsing is that you can take as much time as you want. Writing software to hassle browsers on a web site seems like the height of idiocy, that 'no thanks' button pales in comparison to the more tempting 'X' in the top right corner.

Jones: I applaud people who want to help customers, but a prominent graphic that says "Questions? We can help" that you can click on would have been sufficient. Unless, of course, Overstock believes their customers are so deflicted that have to have WE CAN HELP YOU shoved in their faces.
