That's something I hadn't thought about.

No doubt, but that doesn't make it any more acceptable. This could simply be a sales tactic taught and recommended by the crew chiefs of groups of kids who are selling door-to-door in a neighborhood and changing neighborhoods day by day.

<This could simply be a sales tactic taught and recommended by the crew chiefs of groups of kids who are selling door-to-door > I don't think so. I was at a motel in Kansas for a road trip this summer. I was hanging out in front of my door and had an opportunity to eavesdrop on what I believe was a crew chief giving training. It was all about being non-threatening and building rapport. I suppose other crews could have different approaches but what he was saying made perfect sense from a sales POV.
