Dropped That Sale
(I have just had a meeting at a coffeehouse inside a mall. I am walking back towards the entrance and am passing a phone accessory kiosk when the following happens.)
Kiosk Employee: *calling out* “Excuse me, miss?”
(I keep walking, assuming it’s a sales pitch. He calls after me again.)
Kiosk Employee: “Miss, you dropped something!”
(This is plausible, as I am rather clumsy and scatterbrained at times, so I stop.)
Me: “Thank you! What did I drop?”
Kiosk Employee: “Well, you didn’t actually drop anything just now, but if you had dropped your phone, wouldn’t you want a good case to protect it?”
Me: “Even if I didn’t already have one, I certainly wouldn’t be buying from you after that stunt!”
