Has a salesperson ever lied to you?

" Of course. Salespeople are dishonest by nature. They're terrible people.  "

" I remember when my dad was picking out a new TV they tried to convince him that different HDMI cables were better for different things. Yeah, that $80 Monster cable is going to look so much better... "

I remember just before I got laid off, I was on my lunch break, a dude in a very obviously stolen tailored suit (i.e. was not tailored to him) tried to sell me a gold ring with an onyx in it. He asked me if I knew what an onyx was cause he apparently didn't know and that he "needed the money for gas." I got the hell out of there, lol

" @amir90:  Wait really? Five year warranty on all electronics? In the US when my 360 broke after a year and ten days from purchase, but only about 4 months since it was returned after dying I had to pay to get it fixed. "

Just last week a dude rang me up and congratulated me on the free 3 day cruise I had just won. 

One guy told me MW2 was great and bug free he lied....

I work in Tesco's, so whenever I go into another store its blatantly obvious when the staff try to feed me the usual retail bullshit.

Yeah. You're a real saint with that attitude.

Yeah. A cable's pretty much a cable. A 10 dollar cable will get you the same picture as an 80 dollar cable. Don't ever buy Monster cables. "

" Sure they have, never worked on me though.  "

that's what you think..  also, I've heard that in the tv department they apply the incorrect settings to the cheaper tvs, so that the more expensive ones are more appealing.  "

A salesperson? ......LIE? Puleeze!

I had some fucktard at Game Crazy try to tell me that Arkham Asylum was going to be a movie with the Nolan crew.  

" Speaking of customer service, I had a strange encounter the other day:  I walked into a fast food place and ordered a meal.The guy then asked me if I wanted to add anything else to my order like dessert. When I said no, he said something to the effect of  "Is it because you don't have a girlfriend" or "will you order dessert when you get a girlfriend". I thought he was kidding, it seemed to me like a bizarre way of convincing me to  add something to my order, but then he asked me again with the same serious tone.  I paused, then I tried to sidestep his remark by saying I'm not in the mood for dessert. Then, he proceeded to talk about all the "sexy" girls outside the store. Meanwhile, this was in the middle of winter, with everyone covered in layers of clothing. He asked me other bizarre questions before I politely picked up my order, paid and walked away. Sufficed to say, I haven't gone back since, and I don't think I'll ever be going back. "

" I was once told at At&T that my cell phone was broken and I should buy a new one to replace it. It was just out of batteries, and I was trying to get a charger., the guy took it behind the desk "plugged it in" then brought it back and said it was broken.  "  

gamestop always says "Pre-order because we are only getting enough to cover pre-orders." 
I buy all games on day one without pre-orders, and always bust their balls about it.

"If you don't pre-order now love, I can guarantee you that you will never find another copy again, its very rare!" 
 
Blablabla.
And now they're selling the game for 20 bucks and all its special editions for 30-40.

Just about everyday. I outta give him a piece of my mind.

Salespeople?  Lying to me?
 
Get outta here.
