Is this dangerous ?

We were in a town in the south west of the country last week. Calling around to shops and businesses, selling our Calendars and Diaries.
Went into a well established shop, selling a range of products. I have this philosophy ( which may have to be reviewed soon) that if a person is good enough to give you some of their time, then you have to be prepared to listen. And I did.
15 to 20 minutes later, having been interrupted as the lady served several customers, I seriously considered giving her €20 to compensate in some way for the difficult trading conditions. The list of woe was mind-bending. While I knew it would only be a gesture, I felt it may make a difference.
Thankfully I desisted.
Next shop, same type of produce, bouncy chap behind the counter, " Oh they are lovely, How much..............Oh that's reasonable...................OK.... Mary -Take a look at these.....Oh they are lovely.......OK.......The customers will love these.......put me down for 200....and can you put a photo of the shop on them as well..........No bother........ great."
Job done. I'm out the gap with a broad smile on my face.

Could an over exposure to these type of scenarios lead to schizophrenia.
