PUSHY VS. PEACHY! HAS THIS EVER
HAPPENED TO YOU? Outcome 1: I
needed to buy a pair of jeans
and went to the store. While
there, the clerk followed me
around. I went to the sale rack,
and she suggested some other
jeans that were more expensive.
I was pretty happy with the
jeans I had from the sale rack,
then she said I should try this
belt and these earrings and that
necklace matches the earrings
and this blouse would be a great
fit. She didn’t realize, I was
buying the jeans for my
daughter. By the time I was done
buying the jeans, I thought. I
really don’t want to go back to
that store again.
