All those extras are how they make a profit.

After doing my research I often end up buying "bargains" at those types of stores. The hassle is the inconvenience I endure in order to get the loss leaders. Of course, I don't take it personally and politely decline.

It seems to me that the salespersons in those types of stores are minimum wage, untrained staff subjected to draconian managers.
