Yeah. I will remember that next time I am at a NFL game. The luxury boxes up top with private bar tenders, steaks and premium beer are filled with sales guys: "working hard".

That is not for everyone. I'd rather be with my family on Sunday afternoon.

Btw, the people they're selling to aren't salespersons (the client) and they're in the suite too.

Don't have to be sales to do that. Be the customer. I turn down stuff all of the time, because my down time is worth more to me than free drinks and food in the private box, especially if I don't care about that team or sport.
