Thread: Cosmetics from the Dead Sea

I'm treading a fine line here I know - I am trying not to vendor bash while at the same time trying to warn my fellow Aussies of the sales practices of a certain temporary store that pops up in shopping malls around this time of year here in Australia.

Let's just say that when buying cosmetics products from the Dead Sea be strong and check prices before entering PINs and so forth.

Best wishes and may all your Christmas shopping days be merry!

Thank you Jimbo,,, but buying cosmetics was not really on my list this year,,,,,not that I'm saying there's anything wrong with it,,, mind you,, just saying,,

What's wrong with you John ? Don't you want perfect skin like Auntie Jimbo ?

Special cream to keep him soft
See these lot every couple on months up here trying to flog off there goods
The trying walk past and get the "do you use aftershave or shave cream" from some young horn sales tactician
But politely just say yes and very happy with what I use thanks
Usually rather dubious of this type of sellers with there mobile back of the van type shop setups

Yeah John. You want to have that ageless skin to continue your modeling career.

I will send your name to my wife's Mary Kay rep. Just kidding.

Was it a pretty young lass serving you I have occasionally made poor decisions when buying when the blood was elsewhere apart from my brain where it needed to be.

No not a pretty lass.

Mine went something like this: "These are X dollars each but I like you so I'll give you 6 for 100 dollars." Then, when the time comes to pay they swiped the card, handed over the eftpos machine for my PIN and there's $250 on the bill!

I questioned it, they said they couldn't possibly do it for 100 bucks as previously mentioned. I politely decline to enter my PIN, tell them to cancel the transaction, spend the next 5 minutes essentially arguing with him while he tries to convince me to pay, and in the end have to threaten to report him if he doesn't cancel the transaction.

I just wonder how many poor buggers either don't look before they pay or give up and cop it.

Anyway, best to avoid those shops altogether if you can.

That is mega dodgy

my usual response is "Do i look like a Metrosexual to you??"

Maybe 'I use a cut-throat razor. Do you want to meet it?' would be a more appropriate response, James
