The trick here is to take them by surprise when they start "shadowing " you and take them by their hand and take them round with you ! They soon get the message....! Works a treat !

There is a lady's clothes shop opposite carrefour that has an assistant that follows on your heels.  Lottie loves the shop, but i always feel like I've done something wrong and certainly don't feel comfortable looking around the rails...[!]

The wife hates Migros, because she feels she is always being watched by the security men. I told her she was paranoid, but when my dad was here for a month he commented that he thought Marie was being followed.(Must have heard her scouse accent  )

i think this is just a cultural thing... some naionalities including some turks like to have a assistant shadowing them ready to assist at any momment. most brits feel it as a space invasion.
if you learn the turkish for ....just looking! they normally leave you alone and let you get on with it.

I was in a clothes shop last week with my three teenage sons and it was really funny as we all got individually man-marked by sales staff!  Strangely, my wife got left alone!

[Scunner]

It isn't just a Turkish thing. I was followed round Morrisons by a woman who never left my trolley from beginning to end. It was really unnerving, till I remembered I'd brought the wife with me.

It's really great. There's one on the main street where the assistant thinks if she can flirt with the man he'll buy something for his wife. I never buy anything but the flirting is nice since I'm over 60 :
