The Unpushy Salesperson

So we went shopping for some furniture for our condo last week. We went to Ashley furniture and one of the things we were looking for was a bedroom set. I found one I really liked and was deciding what parts of the set I needed. So I called the sales guy over. He then informed me the set I picked was a piece of crap and that I should pick something else a little more sturdy. So I walked around and found set #2 that I really liked. So we were looking at it and measuring it, but I still liked the 1st better. So I thought it doesn't really matter, I'll just get the sturdy-er one. It was a little more, but not a huge difference. So again I was deciding what pieces I needed. Then the salesman kept on pushing me to "go home and think about it". I was ready to put in my order when again, I was informed to "go home and think about it". After a couple rounds of this, I did go home. I was sooooo frustrated. I just wanted to order a damn bedroom set and the salesperson wouldn't sell it to me! Does this person not work on commision? We took up 2 hours of his time. I don't understand.

So the next day I went back, talked to another salesman, and he sold me the original set I wanted in under 10 mins. I'm so confused. But I'm happy that I got the furniture I wanted. It was all too strange of an experience.
