Description
I hate those mall kiosk vendors. Especially the ones for those Dead Sea Cosmetics. I was caught by one who had some darn spiffy nail products. He claimed the result would save me time because it would last a month...nope, didn't even last a week. He also tried selling me the original kit for 99 bucks--claiming it was half price because the boss/owner was celebrating something. Eventually I talked him down to 50 and he threw in some face peel stuff. I went to their damned website and the kit was retailing for 37 bucks.However, it was fun the next time one of their kiosk vendors pulled me aside. She was making the usual pitch and asked what product I used. I told her I did own one of their nail kits. She gave me a scowl and asked why I wasn't still using it. I scowled back and loudly stated it was because the product didn't work as they had claimed--and that the bastard who originally sold it to me tried selling me the kit for 3 times it's online price. About that point 2 other people who were roped into going to the kiosk practically cut and ran off. The best part is that I've done that to them at least 3 times since then whenever they have tried selling things to me.
Yup, I've been wanting to write that rant on here for awhile and was waiting for this particular comic to do it.

Ugh. Vendors. However, that's not as bad as some of the stuff I saw at the market when I traveled to Ecuador. Think "kiosk vendors on steroids to the tenth power."
Fortunately, like weird guys, I can repel them with my death glare.

The death glare? Teach me oh glaring one!
The vendors here are more aggressive than anywhere I've ever encountered. Some have even run after me in the mall--which only pisses me off more than anything. >_< I don't really go to any of the malls now thanks to them (and that annoying empty wallet) X-D

Never go to Ecuador then. The market is a crowded place full of pushy vendors. And if you talk to them, even if it's "no thank you," or "get out of my face," they will just be even more all over you.
The Death Glare: Narrow eyes, make them look cold. Furrow eyebrows just enough to be distinctly noticeable. For added effect, frown slightly and/or purse lips.

I have to agree on the getting harrassed part. I typically avoid eye contact with the Kiosk people (especially the cell phone people), and I usually use my height and my "business voice" to...discourage...them from continuing to talk to me.
My business voice has frightened my coworkers before. Think "barely restrained violence".

I bet the dude who ripped you off was planning on pocketing the extra cash for himself. D< But at least you got some revenge...and continue to do so.
I had some guy at a cell phone kiosk yell at me "Hey, do you want to save money?" His stall was for some wireless network (I think it might have been All-tell). I told him I'd just adjusted my Verizon plan to be cheaper (which is true, because I used to pay more than $70 a month when I barely used any of my allotted minutes) and wasn't interested. I REALLY do not appreciate being yelled at from across an aisle. It just reminds me of when you're walking down the street and some guy yells at you from the window of his car.

I've tried to avoid talking to them, but they have literally followed me. T_T
...maybe they look for/stalk women, since we're probably the most likely to buy their stuff.

Well, I think it's funny when the people selling beauty products try to talk to me. "Want to try some lotion?"
.....actually, now that I think about it, that's kind of a creepy question.

It puts the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again! X3

Haha, Yeah, I got stopped by one of those dead sea kiosks. Only, I managed get one of their bottles of lotion for free. Didn't have to buy anything. XDD
And you're right, morbid curiosity is enough. DX

wow, they all congregate like that? i've never seen it that bad!

I think it's based on whether they are paid by commission or not. I think it's got to be the case because they'll try stealing customers from one another and so on. It's sad because it makes shopping less enjoyable...especially for one such as myself who hates shopping as is.
