I walked in and asked for some protein shake. The girl showed me and looking at my skinny frame, offered me the Engorge, to increase my appetite - if she only knew....
No thanks. Next, she offered me HMB. Cool, but no thanks. Then she offered me some vitamin A cream and gave me a sample. I put it on my face and it felt nice but I said I would check about it online (I like to read reviews of products).
She offered me a freaking vitamin pill, I took it, made a face and said no thanks.
Finally, we walked to the cashier. She showed me a shaker. I don't have one, so, what the hell, I buy it. She said something about the cream and I said I will check it out. She offered me the membership and I accepted it. The counter was a bit high and I couldn't see what she is doing nor where was my credit card, but I wasn't worried.
She gave me the bag and the receipt. I walked out and looked at the recipe. There was a charge for something I didn't buy. I walked right back in.
"Why was I charged for that cream?" I asked wondering if I was charged six dollars for trying on less than an ounce of cream.
Her eyes opened wide as a kid's eyes open wide when they are caught lying and she said, "Oh, you didn't want it?"
Did I freaking said I wanted it?
At first, I thought, whatever, why not? Reviews aren't reliable anyway plus the reviewer skin might be very different than mine. I said it was ok and left.
I made a shake, which I was very happy with it, but I kept looking at that cream.
Two hours later, I returned the shaker I didn't intend to buy in the first place and the cream I wasn't supposed to pay for at all. You see, there's something called honesty and I still don't think the salesperson (no idea her name, she is Hispanic, has long hair and a fairly bad skin complexion for someone trying to sell a vitamin A cream claiming that "it's great") knows what it is. She just charged me for the cream and expected me to not notice. It was only 6 bucks, but was she really that desperate to make a sale so small?
I will no longer go back to this Vitamin World, unless of course, I see that this dishonest woman isn't working there anymore. read more
