What a hoot! I'm sure there are a lot of nice, non-pushy kiosk people out there. :) My kiosk experience is with skin care products. Can you imagine sitting at a kiosk in the middle of a mall with half your face covered in a green facial mask for ten minutes? Well, that was me. The guy tried a bunch of different stuff on me and I ended up spending about $200 on a couple of different masks, moisturizers, and he "threw in" a nail kit for free. I swear, the people at skin care kiosks stalk people like me. Rod: Thanks for sharing that. What a hoot!

We were at Belz outlet mall in Las Vegas, all shopped out and heading out of the mall to the parking lot. But before we could get out, my wife stopped to look at a kiosk with bling-bling for the hair - clips, pins, etc. The Korean girl quickly got up off her chair and placed the bling that my wife was looking at in her hair and adjusted the mirror for my wife to see - as my wife picked up another bling to look at. We could tell that this might take some time, so my 2 daughters and I found an empty bench close by to rest. After about 5 minutes had passed, I turned to look at how my wife was doing at the kiosk. Then I blurted out to my girls "Check out mom with all that crap in her hair!". She must've had about 7 or 8 different clips/pins/junk put in her hair by the salesgirl. We were laughing so hard! When my wife finally left the kiosk, she had bought just 1 blingly hair clip. But we shared with her how we had a good laugh looking at her with all that junk in hair. I told her it reminded me of Sarah in the movie Labrynth when the junk collector lady was hanging trinkets all over Sarah. And we always recall this story when my wife stops by a kiosk selling hair bling. So I do understand your fear of kiosk, Donna. btw, the guy I talked to at the Gizmobies kiosk - local guy. Not pushy at all, but very helpful. Your fear of aggressive kiosk vendors reminds me of a funny story.
