RUN AWAY FAST!

Has anyone ever been coerced, pressured, cornered, and practically forced to buy something ridiculous? Today, I was at the mall and was absolutely controlled by a salesman. I made the mistake of walking within 100 yards of the front of a store. Hah!

It was "Premier Dead Sea". I'm telling you, by the time I left I wanted to SCREAM.

Normally, I'm not that dramatic. (Tee hee hee... Just ask my husband!)

As I walked passed, the guy threw a sample in my face but said nothing. When I looked up, he said "OH! We have the same eyes!"

My eyes are hazel/green. His were sea foam green. Not exactly, dude.

He did not speak english well at all.

He then told me that he had given me a facial moisturizer. "Sweet,", I thought, "gonna throw this away." I tried to walk away.

He then said "Just one sec". I stood there awkwardly holding this small plastic item that was supposed to lure me in. He then beckoned me into the store and pushed me into a swivel chair.

I was cornered. Stuck.

He then proceeded to tell me that I looked 16. Cute? No.

Then he told me I had great skin, but lots of blemishes. I cared about my skin, right? My face was forever.

He told me that I should want to look good. He meets lots of women that don't care about what they look like. But he could tell by looking into my eyes that I cared a lot. I cared what my husband thought about my looks. But husbands don't last forever. Half of the people get divorced. Husbands leave.

ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

He then tried to bargain me down by only making me pay $300 for the items. Hah. Then tried to coerce me by offering the "student discount". Then the "family discount". I was not happy.

25 minutes later and infinite "no"s later he made me walk over to the cash register with him. He asked me for the umpteenth time if I wanted to buy that overpriced dirt. I said a firm "no" once more and he let me go.

Maybe I'm just too nice. Normally, I let the board game store clerk lead me around the entire store. It's his passion. He loves the games! But this guy...was awful

Avoid Premier Dead Sea at ALL cost!
