We have been saying the same thing with great consternation and critisism.
The problem here is that we are all individuals and we are human. It is just that we may meet 2000 to 3000 of them at a show and they too are individuals of every description. It doesn't take long to have some inferior idiot come in to challenge your thinking. Stuart is only expressing how those idiots present themselves with such inteligent thoughts. It just seems that there are a few sensitive issues that he has touched upon and those who do not know what he is talking about are taking personal offense.

If you are wondering where the Terminator is on all of this...I can only guess that he is polishing one of his pieces and sitting back grinnin'. That is one man who just loves what he does, every aspect of it. As long as I have been reading this forum, I have never seen him shoot seriously negative remarks about any other brand and while he may refer to a few folks as goobers, he does it all in jest...My hat's off to you Term...You'll live
a long and happy life and you deserve it! :D

As I had stated earlier in another post, IMO trash talk from a sells person is not what I want to hear when I was shopping for a tub. Its a free world, and some people are more opinionated. Thats ok, but to me, that is a sign of a lack of professionalism. Its no big deal, its a turn-off to me. It makes me think that the salesperson doesn't know the qualities of their product so they have to knock the competitions. I know its a sells tactic. And that it works, it just doesn't work for me.

Man, I LOVE doing shows. This weekend, I went over to Shreveport just to help out because I enjoy visiting with people.
I can relate to the aggravation in dealing with some of the goobers that stop by the booth, but I just try to have fun with it as much as possible. You just never know when the irritating, semi-retarded yokel you're talking to is liable to suddenly change demeanor and whip out the credit card. I've seen it many times.
Customers like to play ignorant sometimes just to see how you're going to react. They will lie like dogs, always trying to find your weakspot. Even sweet little ol' me sometimes loses my patience and I shoo them away. But, when you can roll with the flow and continue to be patient, sometimes they will reward you with a purchase, which is what you're there for in the first place.
Spa selling ain't saving the world and it ain't curing cancer and it ain't really very important in the grand scheme of things. But, it is a ton of fun and very rewarding when you can look back at the end of the day and say "I sell a damn fine product that makes a lot of people happy. I can sure live with that."
Hang in there, you ol' spa selling warrior! ;D

It sounds like you have had a rough week and have the blues. Who's the guy on the Blue Collar Comedy Tour whose lead statement is "You can't fix stupid"?
You need to remind yourself of the serenity prayer: "Please God help me to have the courage to fix the things I can, the serenity to accept the things I can't, and the courage to know the difference."
