You are not alone.
You must have nice hands.
It rubs the lotion on it’s skin.
I’ve seen kiosk guys like that @ Fashion Show Mall in Vegas.
I started taking very circuitous routes within the mall to get from one place to another.
Ive gotten approached by them too..its a common thing. Its like they know I have dry hands or something LOL I just say “No thank you” and walk away
Something similar like that happened to me. I was at a mall in Raleigh North Carolina and this foreign young man at a kiosk tried to get me to buy some night facial lotion. I kept trying to walk away while he kept talking very fast, trying to sell me the $200 bottle of lotion. When I laughed and said no thank you, he beckoned me closer and showed me a box that he had pulled out from a cabinet in the little kiosk. There was a little tear in one of the corners of the box and he offered to sell me the lotion for $30 since the box was damaged. He became quite furious with me when I told him that the box was worth more than the lotion and again, no thank you.
This is everywhere, I had to stop my wife from yelling at one of them last night. It’s really an aggressive and annoying third world sales approach.
The people at the mall near me are Israelis. They sell “Dead Sea” salt hand lotion.
They have always been polite to me. The women are often drop-dead gorgeous.
I don't know if it is the same company. If not, then your bad luck. If so, maybe they are more desperate to make money.
Just tell em your hands get rough working on the PIG farm. Snap a picture if you can of their eyes “Don Knotting”,
People from the ME are often very aggressive, no manners, don’t take no for an answer, and get quite rude and obviously annoyed when you’re clear that you’re not interested in the garbage they’re trying to sell you. Plus they often smell.
3rd-worlders have no perception that in the US, the customer is always right.
What timing....
“5 Ugly Secrets Behind The Kiosks At Your Local Mall”
“You know that endless string of mall kiosk guys who hassle you at the intersection between the Orange Julius and Hot Topic? They mostly sell shi**y novelty products, electronics, and the idea that you should never make eye contact with a stranger. Those dudes can’t be legit, right? We spoke to one of them, a guy we’ll call David, and the answer can be summed up as “f**k” and “no.” In fact, it’s so much shadier than you could even imagine. For example ...”
Ignore this if you’re sensitive about rude language.
That’s not ‘lotion’.
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.
You are not alone.
Twinkie don’t go to malls. However, I like the PIG FARM
idea!
