I visited this place with a friend. This is a long story... but im terrible at summerizing.
We were both approached by a very aggressive short blonde woman that really needed to sell some products when we walked in. I am educated on supplements and I already knew what I wanted, but this girl wouldn't have it. She pointed out things we didn't ask for and visibly got annoyed with us when we didnt show interest in the products she was trying to sell us. Eventually I told her politly "were just going to look around and discuss what we want amongst ourselves but we appreciate you helping us out", and this seemed to really piss her off.
We eventually approached the counter and she continued her aggressive behavior at the counter. She told my friend he should sign up with his cell phone number. He told her he wasn't interested and she argued with him instead of taking the "no thanks" from him. He wasn't sure how to handle this because it was very odd out of place behavior on her part. Typically people take the polite no, but not this head case.
When I approached the counter a guy ,with an attitude of his own, rang me up. He asked me if I wanted to sign up. Before I could answer the man, that short chick snarkly intrrupted me and said "he's going to say no". I finally checked out and said "have a nice day guys" to both of them. They both starred at me and didnt say anything, then turned to eachother and started talking.
My assumption is that this girl is used to dealing with uneducated customers. She probably uses her good looks and slightly above average knowledge to convince them to buy unessesary products. The fact that we came in there knowing what we wanted, weren't persuaded because I'm educated, and we didn't drool all over her probably triggered her. But that's just my guess.
Be careful with the sales people here. They will try to convince you to buy unnecessary products with a smile on their face. Peope in my circle of influence won't be going here. They will be directed to Amazon or whole foods.
