Never get angry or show your anger to locals, in shops or markets.
Turks are generally very friendly and hospitable. You may feel pressurised to buy something, but they know you don't have to. If you find it difficult to extricate yourself from a persuasive salesman/woman, just politely say 'No thank you', 'Sorry, not today, thank you' or better still, 'Tesekur' ('Thank you' in Turkish), and walk away.
