to your AD when you've gotten the call and picked up your long awaited Rolex?

Is there an etiquette to this? I don't want to not show my appreciation in the correct way.

After you hand over your cash, a simple smile and a thank you.

This. That’s all.

Personally I've always found the words "thank you" are perfectly sufficient when you're sold something by a salesperson who's paid to sell you things.

I completely understand. However when there's a list and they can sell to anyone and it's you they call....

“Thank you, I really appreciate it”

Yes, and typically this would be the right thing to do. We are talking about the privilege of spending thousands of dollars on a mechanical wristwatch, and a Rolex at that. Possessing these objects give people the respect they deserve in the real world This is no small matter.

The OP should offer an additional $40,000 to the sales person for being so nice, or a first born child.

Do you tip car salesmen or the cashier at Best Buy?

I agree but didn't want to miss doing something that should be done. Best Buy doesn't have long waiting lists where it's their discretion on who gets called next.

Well, you so sort of need an inside man if you want a PS5 at retail right now.

Showing gratitude can go a long way sometimes. Find out what they like and get it, doesn't have to be anything expensive. Could be something as small as a Starbucks gift card or something.

MountEverest · 8 February 2022, 10:26 AM

After I got my Pepsi, I brought in Starbucks coffee for everyone. I felt like I needed to do something and I thought that would be a nice gesture.

When I got my sub, the SA was the one who thanked me for the sale, and I went home with their thick catalog and a small bottle of Chandon and a tiny box of chocolates. This was 2019 though...

Harry-57 · 8 February 2022, 10:25 AM

I show my gratitude by giving them my money.

We sometimes go in with some posh confectionary. We do this with a number of businesses we are on friendly terms with and for no particular reason. It really depends on the nature and dynamics of the relationship, the people involved and what seems appropriate. A very personal thing. Some of my clients give me gifts. Never expected, not really necessary, always appreciated.

Same for a package of gum.

I think in this times and ages, a gesture of a nice gift: a bottle of etc, goes extra in showing your gratitude. But it seems here most think it’s just a sales transactions, those of those that have a nice gift, recognize how much we appreciate the call.

Be kind and being thankful is always brings a nice feeling.

BOXMAN76 · 8 February 2022, 10:30 AM

SMH… Seriously….

Tools · 8 February 2022, 10:34 AM

Just toss a little something in the tip-jar that they have on the counter.

brandrea · 8 February 2022, 10:35 AM

Be yourself. That’s about it

chro.nic · 8 February 2022, 10:42 AM

Tell them to sell you another Rolex!!

Nothing shows appreciation & gratitude like repeat patronage.

Flowers /chocolates if you really must

But I wouldn't

Valentine's Day is coming up...I'm sure the SA would like to re-gift to their SO.

fishingbear · 8 February 2022, 10:44 AM

Tell him that you’d love to do this again real real soon.

dpt.calvin · 8 February 2022, 10:46 AM

Fist bump usually suffices for me.
