Marybeth didn't need to change. I NEEDED to change! 

 

I don't watch enough anymore to let anything the hosts say bother me.  Not the repetitive sayings,not the ums, ums,  not the sales pitches, not the family talk...nothing.  I hear it so seldom now, it no longer gets on my nerves.


Smart!  I think people enjoy complaining.  Maybe gets them attention.


No, it's just human nature.

I'm waiting for the legal department to shut down the "get it home for only $7.00" when clearly it's 6 months @$7 plus shipping/tax.

 

I think legally they need to be saying "get it home for your first payment of $7.00 plus shipping and tax"

 

I'm not being petty, but with the crazy world of sue-happy people, I can't believe that this hasn't become an issue with some sort of class action lawsuit.

@CAcableGirl2  I'm sure some people that are visually impaired have been surprised when they get their bill.  On the screen where it shows the number of payments is in such small print and most of the times the hosts don't go into detail about the number of payments and pretty much never mention the full price of items.   So tired of them pushing easy pay and their Q card too.

I think the "wait for it" is a reference to their wagon-train shipping speed. 

 

And if someone could clue Pat Dementri in on the "go head", I'd appreciate it.  

 

Attention Buzz Kill Patrol:   Yes, I know I can change the channel.   And you can mind your own business.   Thanks.

QVC hasn't done this, but the pitch I hate is " you are saving X dollars and you can put this money right back into your pocket.  Tell you what, I'm not taking it out in the first place.

How about, “You can get this for just a dollar a day!” But they don’t tell us HOW MANY days. Lol.

Lisa Robertson started the "wait for it" routine lol.

 

And the tired old "pick a color any color".
