You think I'm what?

Yesterday I was at a mall. (so what, huh? wait la, story just starting..)

While I was busy fiddling with my handphone writing an sms to a friend, I stopped briefly right before the supermarket. And that was when suddenly someone next to me was saying "MISS! MISS! I wanna give these to you". After done with the sms, I turned to her and looked. She waved a few tupperwares in front of my face and keeps on saying that she's giving these away.

(Those tupperwares, not really TUPPERWARE brand ones, but the transparent ones used for tapau-ing food away)

Normally, I would wave a "no thanks" and move on before they can even say another word, but for this time, I felt "eh, like macam very rude to walk away, and some more, I can use these stuffs also laa"

So, I said to her "OK then, give me!". She said with a face that reads "finally a waterfish hooked on to the bait". She told me wait la...that I have to write down some personal info for the company to report to la, sounds fair to me, yeah?

Thus, I sat down and ask "ok, what you want?" and quickly filled in the form to fill some simple particulars. She tried to do some small talk but I stopped her short and said "look, honestly I don't have much time actually, I need to run and get some stuffs before the supermarket closes". She said she needs to do a very brief intro to her product, before I can take my gift away. I think, ok la, give the girl some credit at least. It's her job anyway.

Hence I stayed on to listen to her bla bla bla, pointing out the various awesome things her product can do and I also nodded my head ya ya ya.. Then at the end, another girl asked if I would like to get one. The product is an induction cooker, btw. And she commented that I don't look like someone who cooks at all. (seriously! I don't even want to waste breath to debate that point with her). Anyway, I think she was trying to "ampu" me by saying she thinks that because my hands look so smooth.

Both the girls tried to convince me to change my cooker at home, but I told them that yeah, it's a good product, I will consider that when I shift to a brand new home in future. Seriously, by this time, I really regretted responding to her in the first place already.

One of them also tried to hold some small talk again, asking me how much I bought the bag I was carrying. I said tak tau la, my hub bought for me one. They said "wahh.. so lucky la you", but I bet in their mind they must be thinking "sure fake one la, if real one, where got so cheap, these cheap wares also want one?". One of them said with an envious tone that the last time she checked the price, it was 2.7k, I ought to tell her where got, 100 bucks only nia.

Anyway, I was getting very irritated and said I really gonna go. Without much success, she handed me an envelope, telling me it's a gift from her company and it contains 50 to 100 bucks cash voucher and can be used for any purchase within a month from now. So ok la, I took it and she demanded that I have to open the envelope right in front of her. I just complied (so mangchan by now jor!) and took out 2 pieces of paper out. She asked me what I get, and I said I dunno, and gave it to her.

She looked at it, looked at me with eyes as wide as O-O, back to the voucher, almost in a very animated way. I really can't hold back from giggling and wave to her "don't bother! no need!". I mean, c'mon, do they still use this trick? The other girl told her "no la, these vouchers over the due date already, return back to the headquarters tomorrow". In my mind, I thought, ya la, really expired la this trick, can think of something new anot?

She had no choice but to let me take home the damn wares but NOT before she took one away from that package! How blardy cheapo is that! Even cheapo than me! Can you comprehend how cheated I felt? I mean, I spent the entire 15-20 mins sitting there entertaining them for something I don't even really want to have, and she dared to "tax" it away? Boy! That was really totally so unprofessional!

Heiz! I just shook my head and took it from her, moved on to my destination somewhat rudely delayed. These salespeople really! Though they just wanna "find 2 meals" but...heiz! But they can provide a good story for blogging though.

And oh yeah, just to let you know, we were those "waterfishes" before, totally caught in their hook with the bait of "free things" and once-in-your-life damn good vouchers! It was a long long time ago in Sarawak by the same company, different products though. That's why I told her "don't bother! no need!" And I think I should have feedback to her that she needed to brush up her acting skills too. The way she did it, how to win the oscars award home?
