I was on a quest to find a Blender Bottle for my protein shakes and was directed to GNC by a friend. The store is very well stocked with everything from protein shakes to weight loss supplements, energy drinks to chewable vitamins. Everything seemed more expensive than usual, but it is a specialty health store, so what do you expect?
I looked around a bit before a sales associate asked if I needed help. When I said I was looking for a Blender Bottle he sprang to action, recommending the taller size, as it would blend my shake better and it was only $0.50 more. What color would I like? There were many to choose from.
There was a deal: buy one get one 50% off. I was hard-set on limiting my purchase to one, but he convinced me to buy another one. He was so damn energetic, I couldn't say no.
At the cash register I tried samples of protein chews and a multivitamin, as he proceeded to give a pitch about a Lean Body protein shake. No thank you, just the two bottles.
Did I have a GNC card? Nope. He looked very disappointed and tried to sell me a membership for one of these cards (I still don't know the name of the card or the membership). He did manage to get my e-mail address so I can receive even more spam in my inbox. Now that I have my Shaker Bottles I don't think I'll need to come back here.
