Last night, a totally incompetent treadmill sales girl at Sears attempted to sell us a treadmill. She was, quite possibly, the WORST salesperson I have ever encountered and I couldn’t WAIT to leave the store so I could A. make fun of her for 2 weeks and B. blog about her.
Her: And this treadmill goes up so it gets out of your way and ….. storage and stuff.
Us: Does it have a locking mechanism so that kids can’t pull it down on top of them?
Her: Well… umm… It is like really heavy so ….. a little kid, they would be fine if they scrambled on up there and…. you know, pulled it down.
blank stare.
Her: This Nordic Track one is the best. We sell this one the most.
Me: Well, what is wrong with this one?
Her: Well, that one doesn’t have as many buttons as this one.
Me: Buttons that do what?
Her: Well this one has a button called I-Fit.
Me: And what does I-Fit do?
Her: It’s a little black chip.
(pause)
Me: So, it probably memorizes your work out, correct?
Her: Um, ya.
Me: Well, Mike, are you able to remember which buttons to push for your work out so we can save $400.00 on a treadmill?
Mike: Yes.
Her: So, what have you decided? Have you made a decision?
Me to Mike: I think I am making the decision to leave.
Mike to Her: We’ll check back with you some other time.
Her: Okay, well don’t forget to ask for me, I’m Susie, when you come back and I’m working tomorrow too.
We then went to C.R. Willeys and bought a treadmill and the salesperson was able to formulate a thought and convey that thought through words and complete sentences. We love you C.R. Willeys!
