Sat through one on our honeymoon in Aruba because we got a $100 restaurant giftcard. The guy was baffled that we wouldn't bite, very visibly annoyed when we left without buying from him. Sorry, dude, we only wanted the giftcard. I'd never do it again, though. Wasn't worth the hassle.

Mine would be Time Warner Cable...never again.

justincredible;1172977 wrote:Lol, seriously? What were they doing/saying?

This guy was high pressure but he didn't make any threats or anything. I would've just just got up and left, possibly knocked some shit off his desk, had he threatened us.

They're definitely on a "FUCK NO, NEVER AGAIN!" list for me with McDonald's and Wal-Mart. And, likely, any "American-style" buffet like Ryan's, Golden Corral, etc.

Well after the allotted time my parents said thank you for everything but we aren't interested, we'll take our gift and go. Well the 2 salesman said the presentation wasn't over until his manager came in and gave his spiel. Well he turned out to be a total dick and told my parents that they weren't moving an inch until they signed on the dotted line...basically saying that they had to buy if they ever wanted to leave. At that point my parents were just going to leave and call corporate when they got back to complain and get the gift card---but the manager blocked the door to the meeting room and told my dad to sit back down. My dad said he seemed like an ex-football type---about 6"4 250, so he didn't want to start shit, but this guy was holding them hostage.

So thats when my mom called the local police because she felt this guy was going to get violent. The manager wound up getting fired, and we got double the gift card.

I'm all for high pressure sales and such, but you can't hold your audience hostage until they sign.
