We were at Gurnee Mills last night to try and exchange a hooded sweatshirt my son had given me for my birthday. It's very sweet and everything, but I think I've outgrown the Beatles and would really prefer a CUBS hoodie. Anyway, we didn't have much luck so as we were trudging our way out I was beset by a young gentleman from one of those little carts in the middle of the aisle that sell everything from cell phone covers to roasted nuts and everything in between. He was nice enough except when I tried to decline his offer of "Let me show you what I have!" he had already done his sample work and had the product in a bag, in my hand and the ticket ready to be go before I could say 'Jumpin' Jack Flash!' I then looked to hubby for help. If you can't ask your husband for help with a pushy salesman, who can you ask? But this guy was good! He then totally won hubby over! I'll call him Charlie. Charlie then proceeded to notice some redness on hubby's neck and brought out some cream which he said would remove it! Charlie then mentioned psoriasis possibly...I always thought it was from shaving, but you never know. The salesman then kept putting jars in our bag.
After all was said and done, we ended up with about 9 jars of product-about 7 of which I have no clue what to do with. One I do know it's supposed to make my hands and feet real soft. The total bill? Over $120.00. We also have 2 weeks to try this out. Yeah, right. How much you want to bet there will be no one home if we go back in two weeks. Does anyone remember that the stock market took a nose dive yesterday? I know it rallied today, but who knows what it will do in two weeks?
Alright, I'm ranting, but I should have know better and that was part of our Christmas money and I let some guy-Charlie-talk me out of it. MY BAD. Now, don't let anyone else do that! Just walk away-unless you're really interested.
Have a great day!
