I've Been Tricked In A Mall

Thank God it's Friday @asean.hive community it's been a while 😔 I've hated my self for being so inactive. I'm losing my track, I sometimes overthink and holding myself back. Im not like this before, to everyone who knows me; you know that I'd never missed a post on hive specially to this wonderful community. But it somehow happens and I need to cure myself because it gets worst.

For my today's post let me share you what happened to me last year. I was tricked in the mall, me and my son was heading home to our water world. But I need to sell a phone from my mom. I thought she'll gave us money, we brought her big shrimps and fish. I was also the one who cooked it, I expected to much. But we also need to understand her situation. Besides we got something in her house like stuff toy, clothes, bag and 2 kind of cellphone. By the time we went to my mom's house I was really in need of a spare phone. Luckily she had, but there was a code and she can't remember it. That what makes it harder to used, while the other 😔 I was again expecting too much. What I did is to post the keypad phone online. My price was $4.47 negotiable it also cones with a free charger. The money that I'll have I'll used it to unlocked the other phone so it can be used by my son.

But nobody bought it there were lot of comments but not sure buyer. Then I decided to bring it on the mall near the bus station. I asked the guard where's the gadget station he said 4th floor. While climbing up a lady pulled me and said I'll fixed you're eyebrows and it's free. At first I hesitate to come, but she pointed her stomach and told me she was pregnant she'll not fool me.

I was a bit enjoying at the moment 😃 I didn't remember when was the last time someone fixed my face LoL 😆. The pregnant lady and her friend asked us where are we going because we have a big bag. I told them Im going to sell a phone, they look interested and asked what model it is. I said it was just a keypad they said it's already face out 😞 I'll be having a hard time selling it. I already knew that but I don't want to go home nothing to bring for my kids. It's not bad if I gave it a try.

A few minutes later the make up was already done and why I don't have the finished product of myself. Because she was asking me money to pay her $3.57 includes the magic eyeliner. I told her I'm not going to buy it because I don't have any money. She's still insisting that I need to pay her service $1.78. *I almost got mad, I told the pregnant lady; in the first you said it was free just for trial so I said yes! You know what she told me; that's our job to tricked people 🤷🏻‍♀️🧏🏻‍♀️. I said I'm still not paying you! From her first offer $3.57 she asked me $0.89. I'm still not convinced my son told me his going to pay it, I said no you saw me earlier I refuse to buy a eyeliner worth $0.53 and now I'm going to pay them. No! So she said $0.35 to close the deal, if she wasn't pregnant she'll have nothing from me even cents.

We wasn't able to sell the phone but it went on good hands. A worthy owner, and to those who fool me they'll have nothing even conscience, my life is hard too but I don't want to fool anyone. I know that every hard work pays off 💪🏻

Thank you so much for reading
Much love, @usagigallardo015

Well good for you sticking to her for it being free. Why say it's free and than expect payment, smh.

It reminds me of a time in Las Vegas when I was offered free show tickets. Only catch was to go on a tour of real estate properties for 2 hours. A $20 deposit required. Well two hours turned into nearly 8 hours. They tried to sell me time shares. Was a horrible experience as they tried to sell using 3 seperate salesman. First salesman was nice, second was a little pushy, and third was a complete prick. The sales pitch was 2 hours!! Got my deposit back and went to show. Wasn't worth the day I gave up for it though. I did not get a timeshare, haha.

No problem glad to have read 😊 I was a young man at the age of 25. There was no way I could afford that nor could I today. I would have been thrown in bad debt . The fact is they didn't care if people can afford or not they wanted what ever money they could get. That was real estate scandal that went on here in the early 2000s. Today some are are still trying to get out of those contracts.

Take care...

Yes ma'am @luvinlyf I don't know if the store manager or owners are blind or they also have shares with that kind of strategy. After we got down on the fourth floor my son saw that they were pulling woman to have some make ups on their faces even they are refusing to come.

What the!!! That's not even legal sis. All beauty consultants really do that, give free make up, makeovers and free beauty tips no payment needed.
I know that first hand because I used to work as a store operations manager and we have cosmetics too (L'Oreal, Maybelline, Revlon) to name a few. We use the testers for the makeovers so no payment needed and that's part of advertising and marketing.

Yeap, you were really tricked.
Maybe she should have said, ma'am a small token of appreciation would be greatly appreciated (tip ba). You could have given her a gift from the heart specially that she is with child.
But not really telling directly to your face that it's her job to trick you.... Nope! That's a very big lie sis... No company does that and that is illegal.
You could have called the manager or the supervisor so she would have been exposed of her scheme.
Not a good employee, she is also destroying the image of the product she is handling. Bad for business.
If I were in your shoes I've had definitely reported her.

Well, there's always bad people lurking around so we just have to be careful but the thought that she tricked you, maybe probably she thought it's April Fools!! 😜😱

PS, Don't get disheartened with life that you loose the will to document and share your experiences with us. I love reading your posts sis, for we all live different lives and it's a joy to hear about other people's experiences.

Hive on lang!! Ajah!

Wow ate @aideleijoie those are bigger names you handled 💖 I was concerned to her child not to her so I didn't call anyone and besides I don't know if the owner of the mall has also something to do with it. Kinokonsinti kaya para makabyad sa pwesto nila. 20 box is enough 😉 I really don't want it in the first place but she said it was free. And thank you po for supporting me always God blessed po 🙏💖
