| - So one day I went to Conns to look for a daybed. They have some at their website, so the fact that daybeds are not extinct is pertinent to my review.
After strolling for just a little, avoiding salesmen with fake smiles I got confronted with a question if I could need some help and I said "Sure, I am looking for a daybed". The salesman stated that he had a few and he would show me the most cost effective one, as I followed him through the store.
Suddenly he stops in front of a piece of furniture, lifts his hand in a vague 'Tadaah' gesture. Not exactly sure what this piece of furniture was, but it was not a daybed.. more a bulky, loungy piece. i stated the obvious that this was not a daybed, and then he starts to explain that daybeds are no longer in demand and people are buying this instead. As I said, I know that this company sells daybeds.. and yet this fellow shows me what he feels that style and personal preference should head towards.
Once he realize that this is not what I am looking for he asks me to follow him again and takes me to this huge, nice and very plush recliner. He asks/demands that I sit and ask if i am comfortable, which I sure am. He tells me that this is so comfy it could replace a bed. He says that he in fact sleeps in one of these at his house. It is in fact better than any bed. While this is the dumbest thing I have heard all day, and as much as I can accept that he too has an opinion.. this is far off from a daybed - the piece of furniture that I had in mind.
Then he shows me a couch with a "daybed"... eh, then he says 'they call it a chaise lounge'. Yes they do. That is another piece of furniture that is also NOT a daybed. great for many occasions and purposes, unless the customer is looking for.. let's say, a daybed.
Before this fool throws in the towel of his amateur attempt of swaying a customer into buying something that he/she doesn't want, he throws a last effort to tell me how comfortable the bunk beds are. Again, I do feel that the good ole bunk bed has a time and a place.. but it doesn't take a place as a casual piece of furniture that double as a place to nap when the occasion arises.
There is a special terrace in purgatory for poor salesmen.
"O' thee fool of lack of professionalism and stupor
I recon thy non compos mentis in the name of Acedia
and, in His vicar, the forth terrace will serve your abode."
