Is He CRAZY?

[in_di_vi_du_al]

Yesterday, I went to the mall
after some B-DAY activities w/ one of my friends
(as you all know..
the mall is notorius for those little
stands that try
and get you to buy things)
Well
The "Amika" flat-iron stand "guy"
super hot! West Indian
said to me
"Dang girl, if you can wear a pea coat- you can
buy a good flat iron!"
After I told him my Revlon worked JUST fine..

Is he crazy? lol
Bad sale tactics!

Have any of you had an experiences with these people?

(He also ended up asking me for my number! haha )

He was trying to be charming to sell the product he had on sale, that's all People are like that all over the stores. I know i couldn't be a sales person...I suck at trying to get someone to buy something they weren't looking to buy in the first place!

I act like i don't see them when i walk by, or i tell them "I can't stop, sorry!" I just try to avoid them as much as possible, it sometimes works, sometimes doesnt. Once my mom let this guy try a little bit of her hair with one of those super hot irons, it burnt it so bad she had to cut the ends off (where they left the iron the longest)

What kind of sales pitch is that. WHACK. erplexed

Your pea-coat coulda came from DEB or Wet Seal, for all he knows.

EXACTLY! And I paid a lot for it from Torrid & the piece of junk is falling apart!

one sales man jumped in front of me and was like "youre looking for me right?" lmao.

When they come up to me with that hot @** thing and I say no but they try anyway. I tell them "Don't get that thing stuck up your @**

It happens to me a lot, probably because I wash my hair and wear it out to the mall cause I want to look cute for myself and my husband. (lol) Anyways one of those flat iron MEN jumped out from behind his stand at me flashing a pink flat iron and I gave him a dirty look and he said, "Ma'am may I ask you a question" I looked him dead in his eye and said, "Nope!" and kept it moving.

Another time, I was with my sisters and the guy jumped out with a red smoking flat iron, still sizzling like a hot plate and said, "Excuse me, miss, excuse me," and my sisters said, "That man was talking to you" and then she started laughing all crazy (like she does) because I purposefully kept walking without listening to one word he had to say.

It's not that I don't like expensive Ceramic, Ionic, Tourmaline flat irons...it's just that nobody better TOUCH my hair with a hot tool without my permission (and some FHI Hot sauce) and the heat setting...well you get the picture. (lol)

He's a bold one. These ppl will say/do anything to get ur attention. The coat thing was lame...

 

[MixedBerry]

They come up to me everytime I pass. I have very curly hair and they ask if I want it straight. I said to them, "Straight hair is boring!" The one girl looked at me with shocked eyes, then whispered "Youre right!"

Another man I told "I would not want to put heat on my hair. I love my hair curly." The guy shook his head in agreement then said "Yes, it is nice." Then I walked away smiling!

Yeah, he was! Young & cute too. If he wasnt so pushy, I would've given him my number. But idk about a dude that flat-iron`s for a living!

I can just imagine you doin' some moves like Trinity in the Matrix when that guy comes at you with the flat iron!!!

 

[Lynnerie]

I dont look in their direction and if they speak to me I just ignore them. I've even acted like I was talking on my cell phone just to avoid them. cant even shop in peace anymore.

You just threw into question everything she ever previously believed.

You are so right! I can barely shop at the Torrid we have here in Milwaukee. It`s like walking into a plus-sized store for goth`s.. its crazy!

but I try not to pay them any attention.. somehow they always get me sucked in and I KNOW I don't have a dollar to my name!
