Childhood Flashback

Sunday, December 02, 2012

Yesterday I stop by the Sunco to get a coke cola. In the meantime I saw this man talking to someone as I was going inside. After, I left the store the gentleman approach me and was informing me that he sales Amway. I told him that my grandmother use to sell that product along with other natural products. It's nothing new to me. So, he proceed to tell me about the Carb Blocker and after that he had the nerve to say, "I think the Slimming Product would be something your interested in, because I noticed you as you walked by". Who do he think he is to judge me, because I was not at society weight standard and suggest a Slimming product for me. That immediately took me back in time when somebody did that to me when I was 13. When I got home I put those papers right in the trash can.

    Maybe the guy uses this technique to stay in shape, because one day someone is going to take off after him, and he better be in shape. emoticon

The world is packed with doofusses. You've got your program and goals, and you're moving forward. emoticon

However, if you're looking for ideas:

The next time, if you see him, tell him, he needs to "eat his own dog food", as they say in marketing. Then, suggest he try an Amway Industroclean enema, because clearly he's not "regular". emoticon

    That is so RUDE of him. I wouldn't have even TAKEN the papers and given him a piece of my mind. I can not believe the audacity of some people.

I can't wait til you get to your goal figure. Hopefully you will 'walk by him" again and go nani nani nani. Just kidding, I really am not that immature.

Seriously, emoticon

    I would not allow his lack of tact and bad salesmanship to deter you from working your plan. emoticon

    People are rude and never know what to say. It seems to me if you don't have something nice to say don't say it and if you have to say something rude to sell a product, don't sell it! Maybe one day he will get a clue... In the meantime, keep sparking - emoticon

    Ugh! The nerve of some people. You lose weight because YOU want to not because some guy selling Amway thinks you should.
