I have a big no soliciting sign on my door, when sales people knock anyway I make it a point to waste as much of their time as I can and not buy anything.

    For your example, I think you’ve got things wrong. Probably a lot of those people are just being paid to work, not per sale. You’re wasting the company’s time, but probably not the employee’s. You’re also wasting your own time.

      I could imagine they get paid like a car salesman, where they have a base salary and a bonus salary based on how much they sell, as an incentive to sell more. In that case OP would have wasted the employees time to a a degree.
