This is from another forum; don't have many details about it. Two thoughts: (1) I think "No money, no talk" and "No money, no touch" should be one after the other (2) Wish I could read #'s 8, 9, and 10!
Hilarious! The list of "Forbidden Words" generally captures the prevailing attitude of sales people in New York City. (We New Yorkers are nice people, but generally don't reveal that on a surface level.)

Here's a translation from my hero, a fellow China traveler who saved me more than once: #8 - If you can't afford it, don't bother asking or looking! #9 - Are you a man?! #10 - What kind of attitude is that?!

This line was used on me over and over when I was in Santa Fe, visiting art galleries. On a couple of occasions, when I bought something, the gallery owner told me that was her favorite piece in the whole gallery. And I was always complimented on my taste, whether I was just admiring something, or whether I bought something. I always suspected that this was just a line they use to make the customer feel good about making a purchase, and it did not affect my choices. I bought what I liked, and that was what mattered. But I admit that even knowing it's a sales line, it did make me feel better about the piece and the gallery.
