Tasting Food

LikeToKnow — Mon, 04 Nov 2019 17:26:06 GMT

Why does every host on QVC have to act like everything they eat/taste is so darn good and make that ah it’s so yummy face? I’m sure it’s just a ploy to get you to buy some of the food. Not everything can taste that good.

@LikeToKnow It's what they are paid to do. No biggie.

Because they are selling food.

Not to be snarky, but that's their job. It might be more honest to say " this is just so so, " but it might not be good for job security.

Question: Why does a QVC host do (X, Y, Z)

Answer: Because they are selling you something.

That is almost always the answer, no matter what the question is.

Their mission is to sell you things. Everything they do is in support of that mission.

@LikeToKnow. Why would you even ask such a question? Because they're trying to sell it of course. A yucky face would generate few sales. A happy dance blows the roof off sales.

I do have to wonder about people who buy when they see the " happy dance", I mean David seems like a pleasant person, but he's dancing so you'll press the order button.

Most foods are good, but the Happy Dance doesn't blow the roof off for me, it blows my mind ,and I immediately turn the show off.

@Kachina624 You took the words right out of my mouth! Do people actually know what they are watching? Everyone on the Q is a salesperson working to get you to spend your money. They are in business to make money.

Why would a host say this food is awful? I hate this blouse or these shoes are ugly?

HLP ..... my sentiment exactly! Used to watch the first hundred times he did the "Happy Dance" but now I don't even turn on the show. Don't get me wrong ..... I like David but there is something about a 50 something year old man acting like he did 25 years ago that kind of "irks" me. I know the "haters" are going to come out with their comments. They are allowed their opinion the same as I am. And, yes I do turn channels when I need to.

I don''t know any 25 year olds who would even consider doing what he does. Perhaps a five year old...

Why? Why do you even ask?

If your income depended upon keeping your job, what would you do? Make a face and say "Egads this is way too (salty, bland, spicy)"?

@mom2four0418 For what I’m sure he gets paid, I would do it just like he does.

I take David with a grain of salt even though I do like him. I've watched him for a long time and know a good salesman when I see them and how to take them.

He could sell ice to Eskimos if they don't know how to take him. His actions don't influence me to buy. I say, oh that's just David and make up my own mind.

Re: Tasting Food

Sheila P-Burg — Tue, 05 Nov 2019 22:42:02 GMT

David has come a long way from a broadcaster in Altoona, PA and Oak Hill, WV. I

I am sure he is paid "good" money but without QVC he wouldn't be where he is today.

I am sure if they told him to jump up and down he would. I would too for his salary and what he makes off his books and other merchandise.

You answered your own question, yes it is a ploy to get the viewer to buy the product. At least they are honest enough to tell you to let them know if you don't like it and you can get your money back.

If I had to do a happy dance for my job, I would quit. QVC is so corny.

@LikeToKnowI was watching one of the food shows last month and the camera must have not pulled enough away and I saw one of the host spit the food in a napkin, and it was so funny, I would hate to have pretend things taste good. They had a food show on with a few that had made a remark that she wasn't a big fan of seafood and didn't taste , I bet she caught it , and I did notice a few gone that probably didn't always agree , OH!! YUM SO GOOD! I"M HAVING A MOMENT !!!!
