    What an awful job that must be. It's likely the only job they could get right now. I mean really, who wants to do that?

    In our mall (we only have one), it's mostly hair extensions, hair curlers, and some lotions. I think the little kiosks are leased by the people selling the stuff. The people are all foreign (but not Hispanic), which is a rare sighting in my neck-o-the-woods, and possibly all run by the same family, or so it appears. They leave me alone because I have short hair! When I had long hair, I did kind of like Pax does.

    You don't have to be nice to them (I'm not saying be rude, either). If you're nice to them and offer an excuse or objection, that gives them an "in" to continue talking to you. A firm, polite "no" without stopping is the best course.

    agh

    One reason I hate going to malls! I venture to the other side of the hall from these vendors and normally walk right through them or just give them an evil look. Do not bother me!!!

    I feel sorry for anyone that has to work in malls!!! I am sooo happy I have an easy peasy job whilst going to uni!!!! I might hate it but i wouldn't last in a mall store or any store for that matter....

    I made the mistake of stopping at a kiosk where they were selling hand cream & nail buffing stuff. I liked the hand cream & was going to buy it but the guy wouldn't shut up - kept trying to sell me more stuff. I finally walked away with him trailing me & shouting - really embarrassing.

    After sneaking in some clues about getting bf a horn (actually, I asked him outright ) he said he although it would be fun, didn't really want one. So, I got him Carolina boots, and a shak. Everyone needs a shak, right?

    Now I'm about to start baking cookies. This years collection will be thumbprints, Russian tea cakes and chocolate krinkles.

    I won't be evil and link to the women's. They are addictive like crack. And, don't, whatever you do, don't read the wool weenies thread if you want to ever, say, go on vacation, or save for retirement.
