I made a trip to the mall today and it felt like I was at the county fair. I had at least four employees at various kiosks yell at me when I was walking by wanting me to come over and hear their pitch. You think the least they could do is offer a chance to win a teddy bear. Leave me alone. I want to walk through the mall in peace. OK?

Kiosk Harassment

Agreed. If I wanted to look at your crap, I would walk over to your "store" and look at it, just like every other store in the mall. Sears isn't dispatching its employees to come hunt me down as I try to find a pair of jeans.
ReplyDeleteI kind of like it when the pretty girl from Israel calls me over to try their skin products to give to that "special someone" in my life. Then I ask them if it works for cats.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a photographer friend of mine that had this great idea of setting up a display in the mall showing his beach portraits, etc. I thought it sounded like a good idea till I ran into him later and asked him how it went. He said the pictures that weren't stolen were defaced or "tagged". I guess that falls into the "What were you thinking..." category
