   • 1983 May 15, Linda Dyer, “A CUSTOMER'S RIGHTS”, in The New York Times‎^[1]:

     When I was a child, salespeople were usually stationed behind a counter in any given department. […] Having searched in vain for an item and finding a salesperson to ask if the store has it, more often than not you are greeted with, "Do you see it? Then we don't have it."

   • 2016, Peter Ikeler, Hard Sell, page 179:

     Thus despite sex-typing at Macy's and Target—the placing of salespersons in like-gendered departments and women more often in interactive roles that paid less—women were not much more class-conscious than men.
