I agree with all the posters who are fed up with the high pressure sales, the "I bought five pairs in each color" nonsense, the constant repetition of colors ( we all have color sets and video today,do we not?) and most of all, the frantic, childish antics of the multiple salesfolk on the sets at one time....
the shrieking over the vendors, the over the top gushing about products ( was listeningt o HSN over night on the Kitchen Aid mixer presentation...the host, Shannon something, makes that surprised inhale sound and "woooo" sound every few minutes at the vendor is explaining such mundane tasks are mashing 8 pound of potatoes....WOW....gasp!!!!...woo hooo!!!"
When you really LISTEN to it, its odd to say the least.
THEN....I remember that Qurate ( the parent company) also has (or had) a HUGE presence in Europe, where people are worried about the heat and power being shut off this winter, the cost of heat and power and food, that makes inflation and energy costs over here look like a walk in the park.
Somehow I don't think they are buying many Mark Charles snips or five pairs of family pajamas this year.
They are more worried about a nuclear attack and what they MUST be able to carry with them if they have to leave in a moment's notice.
I bet Qurate is being totally held up right now by US sales....hence the enormous pressure to sell sell sell...
And...how many throws, cabin socks, nose hair trimmers , coffee cups and resin figures do we need?
