I really like Costco. People are really friendly, it's clean, you get free samples, great deals, fresh produce, i could go on and on. Because there's only one of me I don't go often but I do make occasional visits to pick up odds and ends here and there. Last Saturday just so happened to be one of those times. So this is the scene ... I'm in workout clothes, no makeup, dirty hair ... you get the picture. I grab a cart and start surfing through the aisles. Let's just say I was in Costco bliss.
Obviously everybody likes the free samples along the way and is nice to all of the "sample people". K ... I'm walking by and there is this woman trying to get customers to try face moisturizer. No one was stopping. I figure she has a harder time trying to get people to stop so I say to myself, "what the heck ... humor the woman, stop and try the lotion". So, I stop and she's telling me about this "fabulous lotion" whatever right. After I put it on ... get this ... guess what she says to me ... "see you already look 10 years younger". How old does she think I am?! My reaction: I seriously could not help but laugh. I smile at her (at this point I had stopped laughing) and said, "that would make me 15" and walked off. Who looks 10 years younger in seconds and who uses the "10 years younger" pitch to a 25 yr old?! OMG! Granted I was looking a bit undone as mention above but seriously how old did she think I was?! No wonder sales people have a bad wrap.
