It's a dancing dress.....
Is it wrong to go into a store with the intention of buying a riding lawnmower, and leave with a new nightie instead, just because you didn't like the salesman's tactics? I really don't know why I bother with Sears anymore, I've had so many bad experiences with their sales staff in the past few months. The funny thing is he ALMOST had me upsold, I was ready to tell him to go ahead with the sale, even though he had not listened to one single thing I said the entire time. I decided I wanted a little more time to process before I made a decision, and wandered out of the lawn and garden department, fully intending to go back and make the purchase. But I left with a periwinkle blue nightie instead, went to Lowe's bought their version of the same lawnmower, for the same price, from a salesman who spent 20 seconds listening to what I need from my lawnmower instead of telling me how cheap the lawnmower I'd decided to buy was and why I should really move up one more level. (Though he did try to upsell me, he never once let on the one I said I wanted would be a bad choice.) AND he even got me to do part of his job because I can type better and faster than his "hunt-and-peck" style.
And I spent the rest of the day in my new nightie, because the lawnmower is not being delivered until tomorrow afternoon.
