| - So this Costco is really like all of the others. I've never had any trouble there, buy in bulk, etc. However, I went the other day and felt like I was being assaulted by people trying to sell things! This is not your regular, "eat these delicious samples" selling either, this was "I'm going to shout across the store to tell you about a Direct TV." Awkward, and annoying, and it happened the second that we walked into the store!
I brushed it off and figured maybe it was just an excitable Direct TV employee. But then as I was browsing the book/movie aisle this woman walked up to me like she knew me (stranger danger, invading my space) and pushed some beads in my face, trying to sell them. I love free trade. I love the idea of beads giving women a trade that will support their family. I do not like strangers in my personal space.
I left Costco, purchased nothing, and felt really disgruntled about the awkward encounters with some of the people trying to sell things. Hopefully it's just a holiday thing, then I can resume my Costco bulk shopping in peace.
