I was walking with my boyfren outside Isetan Scotts, somewhere ard mid 2003 .. We were stopped by an innocent looking gal who claimed that she had stood for 4 hrs and cannot find a couple to help her .. So we took pity on her and 'helped' her .. I managed to get a $20 Isetan voucher while my bf got a digital camera .. As usual, we were only allowed to claim our prizes after the 75mins talk .. In the end, we were there for 3 hrs !!!!!! During the whole talk, the sales lady assigned to us was unable to convince us to buy so her manager came over for a few times .. Here's the sequence: 1) First he asked us whether we liked to travel or not ... Of coz, we liked .. I mean, who dun like ?? So he tried to sell us the package - SGD 25K .. I flatly turned him down coz we needed to buy a hse .. Then he said that humans needed to unwind in order to work for money .. I replied: "A house is much more important than travel. You will die without a place to stay but you won't die without travelling. I bet you owned a BIG house now, right" So he excused himself and left .. 2) The manager came back after 30mins .. Saying that he was willing to compromise on the package price, from SGD25K to SGD12.5K .. He was prepared to give us 50% discount .. But we rejected his offer and told him that we'd to catch a show .. So he counter-offered us SGD9K .. Guess what ?? Me and my bf laughed at him at the same time ... My response was: "If the value of your so-called package is worth SGD25K and you are willing to sell to us at SGD9K, then most likely your package is not even worth SGD25K in the first place. We won't buy even if it is SGD2K." We left the table and claimed our prizes. Our advice, DON'T GO AND ATTEND .. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] |
