How to "shoo away" a sales clerk?


When I go window shopping, the sales clerk would usually come near me asking
what I like. How should I politely shoo them away? Can I simply say

> いいえ、けっこうです

or something like

> 自分で見る

I know I can just ignore them and they get the body language that I just want
to look by my own. What is the common way to say it?

I usually feel awkward especially in electronic shops like yodobashi or
yamada. For bookshops, they just leave you alone. I guess electronic shops'
clerks are agressive.

By the way, as a side question. Is there a word for "shoo" in Japanese? I know
Japanese are polite but do they have it?




When the clerk asks me if I'm looking for anything particular (`何かお探しですか?`), I
usually say `あ、だいじょうぶです。` or `あ、もうちょっと見てから。`.

When the clerk says at places like boutiques `よかったらどうぞ試着してみてくださいね～`(Please try
them on) or `他のサイズ/お色もご用意してますのでね～`(We have different sizes/colours too), I say
quite shortly `あ、はい` or `あ、ども`.

"to shoo away" = [追]{お}い[払]{はら}う...?
