What you selling now.

I don’t know about your co-workers but regardless of what company I work for there is always at least one employee that is constantly trying to hock something. Either they are selling something for themselves, for their kids, for their spouse, or for their friends. Unfortunately, I’ma sucker for crafts and stuff in magazines, I don’t know why but show me a magazine of the stuff you are selling and I will find something that I like guaranteed. But check this out, my co-worker came in with the Avon book and says she is taking orders for her friend and wanted to know if anyone in the office wanted anything. Needless to say, I looked in the book and saw some good Christmas gifts and ordered a whole buncha stuff because I was going to charge it on my credit card. Y’all know buy now, pay later. I placed my order and went on about my merry way. A few days later co-worker was collecting the money and I let her know that I was paying by credit and to tell her friend to call me. She let me know later that day that her friend does not take credit. I said well on the back of her books it said that credit cards were accepted and even listed the ones they took. The next day I discovered I can order the stuff from Avon.Com and use my credit card, so I told the co-worker to tell her I would just cancel my order and order off the internet. I was even nice enough to tell her that I would give her friend’s name on the internet form so she could still get credit for the sale. Wouldn’t you know that she said, “Well she already has the stuff at her house, what do you want her to do with it.” I looked at her like, are you stupid? I said she can return it or resale it what eva she wants to do with it. A few days went by and then my co-worker left a note on my desk saying her friend wants me to pay for shipping to return the merchandise. Oh naw you dident!!!!! I told my co-worker I ain’t paying for no damn shipping. I advised her that she should have advised her “sales agents” that she does not take credit cards, and she should x out the credit card acceptance part on her books. She asked me again….. so what you want me to tell her. ( pure silence, can you here the crickets ) I said, “Tell her I’m not paying for shipping, and that it is an unfair business practice.” My co-worker started looking at me as if I was the devil himself. I apologized for any inconvenience but was adamant about not paying for shipping. I guess I can count on her not asking me to buy anything else from her or her friends, but oh well.
