Mall Kiosk Salespeople
Wednesday around noon I was off of work and was going to do my girlfriend a favor and needed to go to Independence Center to get her something.
The mall is pretty dead and I'm on my way out of the mall wearing Chiefs sweats that I only have for doing housework and working out in, a t-shirt and a brown Rambo coat and some chick yells 'excuse me sir may I ask you a question' and waves me over. Not thinking I walked over to her thinking she needs directions or something, I didn't even think she worked at the mall. Next thing I know she goes into a long long winded sales pitch about dead sea lotion or some crap, couldn't really understand she spoke so fast. Tried to interrupt her to say no but it was impossible to get a word in and next thing I know she starts putting some lotion crap on my hands & having me rub my hands together then drying them off. Assuming I was going to buy it she asked if I just wanted the hand scrub or body lotion also? Finally.....I had a chance to speak, felt like the kid in the movie Waiting that never gets a chance to speak, I just laughed and said I just thought you had a quick question but appreciate you showing me your stuff and walked off while she was still talking. My girlfriend knows who these Isreali lotion salespeople are in the malls and laughed hysterically about this story and how they chose to pitch me since I am not metro in any way. Any of you know what I'm talking about??? Here are vids I found on youtube of these obnoxious salesgirls: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kykuv...eature=related salesgirl really going after this guy lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAtRZDeXsyg |

That Dead Sea lotion is pretty amazing, though.

That is why I carry a prayer-rug at the mall.

With a smile on my face, I politely tell them that I really appreciate the offer but trying to sell me something would only be a big waste of time.

I had a similar situation. A girl called me over and took my hand and started talking to me, all the while she was buffing one of my finger nails with some kind of an oval shaped emmery board. When she was done she showed me my beautiful glossy finger and said isn't that nice? I looked at her and said do I really look like someone that would buff my fingers and walked away. That's been at least 2 weeks ago, and my one finger is still beautifully glossy.

You should have just grumbled "I'm a bagbalm man, lay-day."
Bagbalm is magic in a can. Maybe you should have told her you only use lotion to lubricate your hangdown and if she was willing to demonstrate THAT..... |

The nicest thing you can do for those people, as well as door to door salespeople is politely (if possible) interupt their pitch from the start and say you're not interested. When I get door to door sales and they start to speak, I interupt immediately and say "No thank you, not interested" and then quickly close the door.
At least then it over quickly for them, they don't have to waste 10 min. on the pitch and they don't get cussed out. |
