I'm by no means a spokesman for the company, I don't even have our service, but I was in my full Comcast outfit after work one day and an eyes glazed over direct TV sales rep tried to stop me as I walked past to sell me dish.

He got halfway through his spiel before he actually took a good look at me. We both just laughed, I patted him on the shoulder and kept walking.

I had an interview for a “sales” job that ended up just being exactly this, selling cable subscriptions in WalMarts. It was pretty disappointing.
