Description

A psychologist thinks that the salesperson’s intrusiveness might cause customers to buy less furniture rather than more furniture.  She convinces the store’s management to let her study the issue.  Customers are randomly selected to either receive or not receive a salesperson’s offer assistance immediately on entering the store.  The amount of customers’ purchases is then logged as they leave the store.
