You are not alone.

OK--was at Mall of Georgia and I was accosted by a pair of foreign-accented women trying to inveigle me into trying their filthy cosmetics at their kiosk. They were insulting and rude and I walked off. Then in the second story was another kiosk with the same behavior! I'm window shopping and they start shouting at me. Rather spoiled my time. Then a few weeks later I'm at a mall in South Carolina and they're yelling at me again, this time with a punk male. Why do the malls allow this? I got definite Middle Eastern vibes. What is going on?
Given the neighborhoods of most malls built in the 60s and 70s, I suspect the future of them is Section 8 housing.
I’m now getting vengeful thoughts..ha.
Like saying” Does it help with AIDS? I have AIDS.”
or
“I’m plain clothes security, You better not move so close to the shoppers, or I’ll have to report you>”
or
“ WHHAAT? You said that cream helped cure your sexual disease?!! wow.”
That’s not ‘lotion’.
That’s Avani and the products are superb. Highly recommend them. I get them at Sam’s. No, these people are —not— Israelis.
All you have to do is give the impression that you are either armed or extremely PO’d. They leave you alone.
Point at them and hiss like a pod person, it really freaks them the hell out...
Foreign girl: “ excuse me sir. May I ask you a question?”
Me: “you just did.”
Foreign girl, perplexed: “sir, may I as you another question?”
Me: “no, Just one question per day.”
Foreign girl: gasps and looks defeated as I don’t break my stride... Smiling.
I’ve come across them in the past at various malls. As soon as they open their mouths to say something, I tell them “I’m not interested,” and keep walking.
I have had similar happen in malls across the country. It’s like the same Eastern European woman is following me. Haha. Across the country. But I am never asked to use whatever product they are selling. It is always about my daughter.
Just tell them “I hope this helps with my dry skin, I just got back from Liberia a few days ago” and start coughing LOL LOL
The worst ones are those hair irons that they charge 300 bucks for but you know they are really worth 20 bucks. They just won’t leave you alone they are the worst!!
You are not alone.
“he offered to sell me the lotion for $30 since the box was damaged”

Wow !
I hope you took advantage of the wonderful bargain. :-)

Twinkie don’t go to malls. However, I like the PIG FARM
idea!
I have a friend who decided to end this lotion and hand rub attack. He told the guy: “Well if you really want to put lotion on me lets start here.” He then started his hand towards his crotch! The seller left in a hurry!!
I like the pig farm idea, too. But I also think I will complain to the Mall If Georgia.
They are worse than the panhandlers at traffic lights that want to squeegee your windshield with dirty water!
“Point at them and hiss like a pod person, it really freaks them the hell out...”
I was gonna suggest raising your hands above your head with fingers outstretched in a claw like fashion, with your very best scary face and bearing teeth, shaking your head and growling... I’ve done that when sodomites have tried hitting on me.
Perhaps a pre- emptive strike is in order. Something along the lines of “Take one step closer, Haji and I’ll knock you and your lousy snake oil into next tuesday!”. Just a thought.

I would have gone to mall management.
That would really irritate me.
Another reason for on-line shopping.
