| - I love shoes probably almost to a disgustingly excessive degree, and I love all the shoes Davids has: red louboutins and gold jimmy choos and pink marc jacobs--everything.
I walked in fully intending to buy a pair of shoes and I walked out empty handed. I was pretty much the easiest sale ever and yet it still didn't happen because the guy who tried to help me was so overly pushy.
From the moment I stepped in, he followed me around OBVIOUSLY. He didn't even try to be subtle about it. I did a little tease maneuver where I looked like I was about to go one way but I went the other way. He mimicked me perfectly. It was like we were playing basketball.
I finally asked him to bring me a pair of marc jacobs, just plain black pumps. He brought out instead a pair of louboutins. Which were $600 more expensive. Dear, if you want to make a lot of money off of me, at least try to be sneaky about it. Obviously subtly was not this man's strong point.
I specifically SAW the right foot of 7s of the Marc Jacobs on display, yet he said he couldn't let me try them on because they didn't have my size. Yeah right. I'm not THAT dumb.
I ended up trying on the louboutins which were heavenly, of course. I might have even bought them in the end if he had just let me have my way and try the other ones on.
But no. It's as if he was scared I was going to buy them instead of the louboutins. Probably would have happened, but hey, a sale is still a sale, right? I would have walked out poorer if he just let me buy those damn Marc Jacobs. But no, he pushed for the $800 pair of shoes that were way too amazing for me to afford. And I walked out just as poor as I was when I walked in.
