Icon1 Are rude sales associates employing a psychological sales tactic being rude? Maybe.

I’ve seen this happen. Although I can’t say it’s a premeditated strategy or tactic in haute sales or whatnot but with all the Rolex AD bashing and ‘relationship’ buys for validation, it could very well be.

The answer is ALWAY Vegas.

Ok, it might not always be the answer, but shouldn't we go check... just to be sure.

People want what they can't have.

The more difficult it is to get something the more they want it.

Rolex anyone?

I love Vegas, but Breguet Rolex told me it’s for STAINLESS FLIPPERS. The only truly classy locations are Ohio and Sri Lanka.

Rude? Not to me nor my entourage. Typically they drop to their knees in hushed unison, heads bowed. Mostly stay out of sight while I chat with my ;-) favorite.

When I win 3rd prize in the next ‘raffle’, Vegas will be a mandatory quarterly event we cap off with a drunk bowling tournament.
