They are friendly enough. My wife falls for them all the time. I avoid them at all costs. whew sexy
To the point I go in a store I was not going to just to buy time. I feel kinda bad for them they look sad.

They work long hours (12 hours or more), and share a house with all the other workers.
Chasing people for 12 hours, standing on your feet, is not easy. Also, you're in a foreign country, with no time to travel. You get maybe one day a week off. If you are lucky.

The flat iron guys at the mall I usually go act like they're really a salon. I swear they look like the guys from Night At The Roxbury lol

Thanks to this thread, I was able to politely, yet firmly, rebuff a popourri neckerchief kiosk terrorist this past weekend at the mall....

...all it took was a hard glare and talk to the hand

I also detest these mall kiosks and refuse to use their services. If I'm interested in something, I will seek it out- not the other way around. I sometimes feel bad for people who work there, but they choose to pester passersby with their antics, so inside I feel like there's a special place in hell for them. evillol

I get annoyed with the lotion people. I don't make eye contact with them and just keep walking.


I hate the lotion people!!! "May I see your hands?" then they sneak-attack squirt some crappy lotion in your palm... What's up with that? Luckily, I've never fallen for it... but, I like to watch it happen to others

Yep. evillol Where some of Satan's helpers squirt allergenic lotions in their hands, and flat iron their hair all while chasing them in a hellish labyrinth repeatedly.

This one time this guy stopped me when I was on my lunch break at the mall.
He asked me what cellphone service I had.

I said that on my home service, I used Sprint and at work it was nextell (at that time they were two separate companies).


He asked me how my home cellphone service was. I said "it's great I guess. I hate using the phone. shrug "

He then said, "I'm surprised. Most customers don't care for Sprint"



I said, "Oh", and walked off.


I would have been kind of irritated if he weren't so cute. He had a nice ass and stuff like that so it made it a bit harder for me to be upset since I was sort of having a softcore porn moment and stuff during the conversation.


Anyways, are competing companies allowed to say what obviously are baseless statements like what this kid said?
Is it inappropriate to stare at a salesman's crotch while he's talking?
I'm new to this whole kiosk thing.

Now, that's a creative way of maintaing serenity while someone is trying to sell you something you didn't inquire about. Plus, you get a fine view of the cute saleman's crotch. cool thumbs up!
