I began telling the kiosk people "You know I think I am all set today - maybe tomorrow." They give me a strange look and leave me be.

The simple solution is just not to go to malls.

I actually had a sales man grab my hand and pull me towards his kiosk while trying to buff my nails! No Lie! LOL. The whole time I'm trying to remove my hand from his grasp and saying nicely "Let go". He kept going on and on about the fine products he had for nails. And he refused to let go! Finally, I told him my aunt owned a salon and I didn't have to pay top dollar for nail products. SO, he tried to cut me a deal by halving the price. I laughed and walked away. On my way back (I had to pass it again to leave) a woman from the same kiosk tried the same thing. She didn't have the arm strength to hold onto my hand though. I did warn them that someone could press assault charges against them for their tactics after that attempt.

| I never go to the mall anymore. If I can't find it in local stores I order it online just to avoid the mall. I have to go to Dillards once a year but I enter and exit using their door, I never go near the doors that lead into the mall. MUCH less aggrevating! |

Well, we must have completely different salespeople at our malls here - when I went through the mall, I found nothing but helpful advice from the kiosk folks. The first one kindly let me know I was probably paying way too much for my cell phone service AND he was even willing to give me a phone for FREE! Just for switching. He also hooked me up with a very cool leopard skin cell phone case and a bluetooth headset because he was concerned about the dangers of driving and cell phones. THEN he gives me a second and third phone for my family members for only a few bucks more! I mean this guy really cares about people.
As if that wasn't sweet enough, I continued through the mall and learned things and bought things from these people that have changed my life! I got my nails done (although this one I did try to resist, but was overpowered), my skin feels so smooth and will continue to as I apply this stuff liberally everyday - although it has a funky smell, but THANK GOD for the aroma therapy kit I got! I am sitting here right now getting a Shiatsu massage right in my office chair, with my feet soaking in the Ronco Toejam Desolver. If it wasn't for those wonderful kiosk folks, I wouldn't be gellin'.
I did pass on the sex change, but at least heard the woman(?) out and considered it - but that was right after I got my nails done and I wasn't thinking clearly and fortunately my new "AromaWatch" emitted a wisp of manly musk that snapped me out of it. She(?) did feel bad about not being able to help me and gave me a magnetic resonance bracelet at a significant discount and it cured my chronic back pain - which was very convenient, cuz I would not have been able to chase down my stray whirly copter that got away from me and ended up down by Sears.
I hope you all have reconsidered your opinions and will go back to the mall and let these people help you. That's all they want. :)
Happy Holidays! |

I hate those guys. I see those mall islands with too many bored salespeople and I just set a wide course, speed up, and avoid eye contact like the plague. If one of them manages to get half a sentence out, I actually physically wave them off.

Well I'm a few inches off on the height, but I've just about got you covered on the weight. I think I could take you...

I just go to the mall like this: 
drooling slightly with a limp. It's cold without a shirt, but sometimes you have to pay the price. Also, I Moooooo at the sales people which is usually enough to keep them at bay.
No one has talked to me in years.
Since we're throwing around stats, I'm 6'4" 230lbs. so that doesn't hurt.
And I'm realllly ugly. |

| If they stop me and start trying to talk to me about whatever crap it is they're selling, I just stop and stare at them, not acknowledging anything they say, just silently staring at them. After about 30 seconds of that, they usually get kinda freaked and leave me alone. |

SO the dead sea salt people got me in this mall in Hollywood, Ca. He kept saying it was so great because it makes you "Floot". Look you "floot". And rubbed this face peel on my friends wrist and all this gunk came off and he said "And you just showered right?" Awkward.
Then I come to Orlando, Fl. for the holidays and hear a similar story, same company where they buffed my guy friend's nail. It really cracked me up. |
