      lrg burgandy eye pillow

      About seven or eight years ago I was pressured into buying this aromatherapy pillow by a guy at Westfield Shoppingtown Santa Anita. You know how there are these people at carts in the middle of the aisles at malls who try to get you to stop and "try" their products? Well, I made the mistake of stopping to talk to this guy who was selling these aromatherapy pillows. When it became obvious that he was only trying to sell me something I didn't need, it was too late. He would NOT let me go for the life of me. He used every rebuttal in the book to get me to buy this stupid pillow. No matter what I said to try to leave, it was like he hypnotized me or something. Finally, I bought the damn thing just to shut him up.

      My ex-boyfriend was upset that I bought it (which annoyed me because it didn't cost all that much, plus he was a tightwad anyway), and to this day I have never used it. It still sits in my cabinet under the sink in my bathroom. I may use it one day if I ever get sick and need it for any reason, but I don't even really think about it anymore. All it has been doing is collecting dust. Maybe I'll give it away to Goodwill or something. If anything, the experience taught me to have better sales resistance. Now I can just ignore those people or tell them in a firm tone of voice, "No, thank you," and just keep going on my merry way. :-)

    I hate those people! I know they're just doing their job, but I'm getting to the point where I give them a withering stare if they even look at me. (this is only because, like you, I can't resist the sales pitch)

    They can be pretty aggressive, but since that experience, I just ignore them and run as fast as I can! LOL
