There have been so very many posts here over the years commenting on the behaviour of these sellers. I find what Joh & family experienced to be intrusive & typical. It put a damper of the family's outing to Sanur & no doubt will influence them against going there again. Just as the the many posts about the extreme hassling in that area may well influence other Forumites against visiting those markets.
They do themselves a disservice by being so in-your-face - if they were more pleasant & happy to have a chat & a laugh & not hassle (like other sellers elsewhere) then they'd doubtless sell more.
I am well-aware that they do it tough. I am commenting on their sales techniques which are lacking & work negatively.
