Yeah I don't have a problem with the concept, I get that it's a business and you want to sell stuff. I don't even mind when they fake compliment
you because that probably gets them sales. What does bother me is when you smile at them and politely decline and give them a "thanks anyways" and
they get mad at you and roll their eyes and give you dirty looks. I'm going to lose my shit on the next person who does that to me.

I have friends who work at those things. Basically the money is only good if they sell a lot so they do anything to sell.

They had these very hot, handsome, so handsome guys that they could be models, coming at you and massaging your hand, etc, . The day i got
suckered into buying it, they were surrounded by several women of different ages ogling at them and giggling. and yeah, who also got suckered into it buying
it, . The other times i went by that kiosk, if it were not men, it was gorgeous women. Talk about marketing,

I put my head down or look the opposite way while power walking past their kiosk. I also love how they try to get your attention by saying, "Oh, are those your natural nails
 ?"
Like, really? Do you think that is going to get you a sale by looking disgusted by my nails that were in my pocket or out of your site to begin with?

OMG the Dead Sea people and the straightening iron people are the worst!!!! I am at the mall not a freaking carnival! It's sooooo tacky to do that shit to
people and even if they sold the greatest stuff in the world I'd never buy it because of that. I always have to put my hand up and say NO when they try to
talk to me. It's awful.

They are so annoying. I had this one lady tell me I wouldn't get anymore dates unless I used their products bc my nails did not look good. How pleasant.

I was walking with my friend's 10 month old in the stroller. I walked too close to the dead sea kiosk and the girl actually had the nerve to step in front
of the stroller. I was trying to manuver the stroller out of reach and I guess the girl thought I was trying to leave so she blocked me from moving. So
while she is busy trying to sell me, my friend's baby reached out and grabbed part of the display and just about took the whole kiosk down. Product went
flying everywhere.

This one woman at that kiosk kept flirting with my husband and sticking her breast in his face. The smell made me nauseous and I let her know it. She tried to
flirt with my husband harder to get him to buy it. He was laughing as we left. I've got DDD sweet heart. It takes more than that to get something from my
husband lol.

One year around this time I had the dead sea kiosk dude proposing to me every time I walked by.
He was really obnoxious an annoying.
The straightener chicas are annoying but a little less aggressive. I find that wearing the name tag from my store (I work in the mall) helps to get them to leave me alone. |

OH and the worst part is last time I went to the mall I noticed they put ANOTHER straightener place up. One in front of Victoria's Secret and one in front
of Forever 21.

I don't know which kiosks we have but I'm kind of rude to all of the pushy kiosk people. I feel like I have to be rude to get them out of my face. When
they come up to me with their spiel I loudly say "no thanks" and just continue walking without stopping.

The hair straightener kiosk almost always has someone sitting their chair. I'm always laughing on the inside at them.

PLAN: next time.. just go in , pretend you are interested.. ask to try everything.. keep on pushing them to show you more.. keep pretending that you are
interested.. waste like 10 minutes of their time.. and then just pull out an empty wallet, and say.. "yeah i cant afford any of this. thanks for the free
samples though!"
waste their time. |

Yes and I hate them. I made the mistake of stopping once and letting them show me some of their products. I have really sensitive skin and the scrub she used
on my skin burned so bad! The lady pretty much told me I was lying when I said it really hurt.
