Shop assistant at the bookshop (precisely, slowly): “You .. want discount .. on books, don’t you? I can .. sign you up for .. discount on .. books. Give me your .. email address.”
Later I met my partner by the door to the book shop. He too had been cajoled into signing up for their newsletter by a shop assistant doing the scary voice-thing. Gosh, what does the Borders chain do to their staff?
I am forced to do something similar where I work. Though I can manage it more articulately. They claim that if we don’t sell these discount memberships we can be let go. It’s really lame. They probably have a quota or percentage to make each week. And I had thought Borders, at least here in the states, had free memberships. I don’t ever remember being pestered in such a way at Borders anyway.
The thing is, they ARE free. It’s just a newsletter that they’ll send to your email account and you don’t have to do anything else.
But the guy was seriously intense/creepy/weird.
Did you notice the jedi-hand-thing he did?
Oooooh!! Good point!
Wait, we have real Jedi in Glasgow? Oh, my life is complete.
I’m thinking … zombies.
Chris, surely you can bring the funk and regulate that zombie?
I shall send out my minions forthwith.
