aggressive and annoying third world sales approach
&&&
Bingo!
“You say I’ve got rough hands? You wanna see some rough hands? I’ll show you rough hands.”
You might say I did the same thing. However, most of the time, I was called “Mom”. ;)
So, they rubbed you the wrong way, eh?
Some great ideas here for ‘fending them off’...Here is the technique that I used the other day in the mall when I was approached by a rather good looking gal who wanted to sell me some hand lotion.
Her: Sir.... you really must have this wonderful lotion. It will make your hands so smooth.
Me: Listen.... you are a very convincing sales lady and obviously very good at what you do. I am going to do something for you that will make you even better at it. I too am in sales and I’m going to tell you something honestly that if you do better, your sales will go up.
Her: Sure... I will be happy to listen to what you have to say.
Me: Ok... I’m going to tell you something and I want you to tell me you won’t be offended, ok?
Her: I’m just learning so you can tell me anything you want.
Me: Ok... here’s the deal. I unfortunately have to tell you about something that is probably driving away about 90% of your potential customers. Your breathe is absolutely awful. If you want to get up front and personal with people to try to sell them your product, having a nice smelling breath is about as basic as it gets. You need to go to a good dentist, brush, floss, use a water jet and use some breath mints. Right now, I have to go because I can barely breathe. But take it from me, you won’t sell squat with your breathe smelling like horse sh!t, ok?
Her: (dead silence)
they are in a Walmart mechanical chair

Is that the same thing as a fat person cart?
Yeah, I have that title too.
Sam’s Club has these people near the checkout. They rotate the product every week between lotions, athletic ointments and bamboo pillows.
Shop via Internet and it won’t happen again.
Just tell them you use lard for hand lotion ..... they’ll stay away.
There actually are lard-based skin products:

Perfect response: “The box is worth more than the lotion!”
Watch the steam come out of his ears as you walk away giggling.
I have seen ‘fat’ people use them... But some elderly who need assistance in walking also use them. I do not have a memory of helping a fat person reach items on the top shelves. Back in the late 90’s I tore a gastrocnemius muscle, I was in a cast for couple of months +, and I used one, one time... no way I could push a cart and walk with crutches.

My mother, who passed away on Dec. 18th. 20015, always refused to use electric carts, although she was stricken with arthritis. She used a regular cart and leaned on it for support. She said she didn’t want people to think she was lazy. Mom was 95 years old.
The large majority of people I see using electric carts are morbidly obese, of course they fit the definition of “handicapped”, being 5’6” tall and weighing 300-500 pounds is for certain a “handicap”.
Once I took mom to the grocery store and she didn’t feel like walking, I pushed her in her, “just in case she needed it wheel chair” and she pushed a cart. We looked like a train going down the aisle. Good thing the store wasn’t busy.
Write to the Mall owners .. you never know what might happen.
Diversity overload to the max. Welcome to Babylon.
They are usually Israeli where I am.
I never go to the mall but my friend loves it. We were out doing errands and she had a cash card or something and just had to go to a certain store. Here they’re Russian men. They started coming toward me and I immediately stopped them with.....no! And when he started to grab my arm I said....don’t you dare touch me. He backed off real quick.
My friend allows them to hound her. She’s too nice so I walked off and left her to them.
Or else it gets the hose ag’in
