Vacuum Salesman
So I went to go work out last night. When I come back a little past 10, there's some brown kid sitting at my dinner table eating curdhi kichri and talking to my parents. I've never seen this kid before in my life, so I'm kinda confused. Turns out this kid goes door to door selling $1800 vacuum cleaners. He'd been out knocking on doors for abou 12 hours, so apparently my parents decided it was appropriate to feed him until his boss came to try and close the deal on this cleaner. So I sat there eating my tuna trying to make conversation with him, he's 19, goes to boxing, his brother has his license suspended beacuse some friend of a friend he was driving threw drugs onto the dashboard when they got pulled over by cops and pinned it on him. Lots of random things. When his boss came to try and get us to buy, he was real pushy, used car dealer pushy. At one point, he tried to get us by saying that whichever kid sells 15 vacuum cleaners in a month, gets an all expenses paid trip to bermuda (room for 2, food, drinks, etc). What the hell kind of selling point is that? Wait, if i spend 1800 bucks, and you MAYBE manage to sell 14 more off this kids demonstrations, then this kid can go down to the island and engage in expense free hedonism and debauchery? Shit, for 1800 bucks, my parents damn well ought to send me.It was mad weird. And no we didn't buy the vacuum.
