Don't let the magazine salesmen know you have a gun in your waistband unless you intend to immediately remove him from the Earth... the police have handcuffs for that sort of thing. He got extremely nasty with my SO, I simply wanted to remove him from the premises... six officers, one K-9 unit, and lots of automatic weapons later I achieved my purpose, but not before undergoing some serious explanations.

plasgears,
Do allow vacuum cleaner salesmen on the premises the morning after you and your buddies hold a wild stag party at your house.
Unfortunately, I had an exam that morning, so I missed the fun. I don't think we received the free glasses.

pba,
A sweet young thing came around offering a free demo vacuuming. Coundn't refuse; then the Kirby salesman made the scene. He unfolded his kit, made some disparaging remarks about my present vac, and they were all out of the house within minutes.
The process is this: Free vac offer>Kirby vac salesman>invitation to leave>supervise the exiting process. Spread the word.

Back to plasgear's OP.
I've been very successful with getting ideas accepted of rejected by seeing if the company has an outside suggestion program. I don't think many do now or even have an inside suggestion program. It might pay to check and if they don't follow some of the above advice.
In my career I probably got 15 of 25 or so suggestions accepted and approved and received a stipend for each one accepted. I always got an answer.

If you beleive in karma, make the suggestion, even if you do think the idea will get filed in the trash. I also pick up the occasional gum wrapper off the sidewalk because it is the right thing to do.
