Totally correct Vicki.
It's bad enough we still have drug reps coming into our office.
But to have sales reps lurking on our precious collegial space is WAY TOO annoying.
I don't even talk to drug reps anymore. The rule is: leave your samples and I'll sign your form but don't talk to me. If they bring their manager in, they get bounced immediately at the door. They can do lunches if they want to talk, but I don't eat their food anymore. I bring stuff from home, way more healthy. They supply the food as a side-benefit to my staff who appreciate the food. I have to "pay for it" by listening to the reps flap their jaws. I pretend to listen for 5 mintues and leave.
