dislike
Without knowing the whole context it is difficult to say. However, in American culture one often hears people say they have a bad feeling about something. it is vague and unquantifiable and is just a way of saying "I dislike it" or "I just don't like it" In Le petit larousse it says:manière de ressentir une situation.

as it is felt
the customer means that information is given differently to one person or an other depending on the salesperson's "feeling" about the person in front of him. The term au feeling means "by intuition" or "by sensitivity" ... to adapt to the context

intuitively, instinctively,
In italian we would say "a naso", "by the nose," but I cannot think of a more colloquial expression in English.
