I got played like a fiddle AND IM PISSED - debbie

imageThe other day I was on my way out the mall and this pretty indianish looking woman tried to stop the people in front of me to test out perfumes they said no and kept walking. I was next and I felt bad so I said "no thank you" while making eye contact just to make the rejection feel more human and less cruel. She was like "please just smell it! smell it! come come come" so at that point i'm like "ok..." and walk over and smell the cologne. She compliments me 3 different times on my looks and this lowkey kinda convinced me to buy this cologne. But I stopped myself and I told her "uh.. I actually have enough cologne I really don't need this. And honestly it smells too sweet" she immediately pulls out another cologne which does smell better. She says "I'LL USE MY LAST EMPLOYEE DISCOUNT. IT RUNS FOR 80 DOLLARS I'LL SELL IT TO YOU FOR 39.99 FINAL PRICE. LAST DISCOUNT OF THE DAY. I'M THE MANAGER"

Her desperation and compliments convinced me to buy this damn cologne I didn't even really want or need.

This was about 4 days ago. I finally take the cologne out of my shopping bag that I didn't touch all week and look up the price.

.......................................................

THIS SHIT RUNS FOR 14 FUCKING DOLLARS. EVERYWHERE!

At this point fuck it. I'm done being nice to people. If i'm in this situation ever again i'm going to stop them in their tracks and look up the item on my phone before they try to sell it to me. I'll say "You give it to me for THIS price or i'm going to just buy it online" and if they try to keep convincing me i'm gonna walk away.

ALL BUSINESS PEOPLE ARE SCAMMERS. THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY NOT WHAT IS ACTUALLY BEST FOR YOU. I'm PISSED. Like in the moment I knew she was playing me but SHE REALLY SOLD THAT SHIT FOR ALMOST X3 THE PRICE IT RUNS EVERYWHERE ELSE WHEN IT WAS ALREADY "DISCOUNTED" FOR ME.

wowww that's so bad; i hate when i get pressured into buying stuff. I always like comparing prices online but when someone just like ambushes you like that and you aren't prepared, it's the worst =( i'm so sorry. i assume you can't return it =.='

kindred7 nope I checked the receipt no returns just exchanges LMAO. It's a great lesson I learned. I honestly can't wait to test my new strategy out next time. I can only imagine the HORROR on their face when I pull out my phone to catch them trying to scam me. Ugh yes I always wanted to be a villain. Game over!

Timster LOL what if it's an unbranded product? but i guess you can just look up other colognes. Yeah definitely look stuff up. I think their strategy works by cornering people.... which is fine if you're uber rich and don't care about your money / deals but that's not me (and it doesnt seem like that's you either!)

relatable lmaoooooo a few months ago this girl who is my neighbor approached me at the mall and started to test shit on my skin so i gave in on the dead sea skin exfoliant bc it felt so good? and then she offers me face-wash which was also great and she goes like if u get this skin hidratant lotion i'll sell it to u for 30 thousand chilean pesos total along with the exfoliant only bc its you which wasnt really a lot but i ended up spending 50 thousand pesos in total with the face-wash so i was like wow individually each product arent that much, then i realized i spent much more than i expected in total. I go to my friend and she looks at my stuff telling me how they scammed me bc the dead sea scrub isnt rly from the dead sea so im like *inserts pikachu meme* bc she knows about makeup and skincare stuff and i was so mad about to return EVERYTHING. But then i tested them all and i really liked them LOL either way i felt soo dumb for falling so easily when the girl wasnt even an expert. Sooooo kids dont just buy shit bc the salesperson compliments u, its their job to make u buy it.
