The Brick Scammers
I went to “The Brick” last weekend with my girlfriend to find a new dining room table; we saw an ad in the paper for some cheap sets so decided to go there despite our feelings towards this place. When we got there, we were hounded by the salespeople right from the get go. We couldn’t walk 10 feet without having some cocksucker with a fake smile asking if he could give us a hand with anything. This kind of aggressive selling is so fucking annoying. Next time I think I’m gonna wear a plain white shirt and write the following in big bold letters…
“Just Browsing. So Fuck Off!”
… what do you guys think? I think these t-shirts would be a hit. And I don’t mean to single out The Brick for having such pushy pricks as employees. Most commission-based places are like this.
However, I have come to the point where I do not believe a fucking word that comes out of the mouth of a brick employee. I haven’t heard so much bullshit coming out of one place. I mean, according to them everything on the floor has only one more piece in stock so you better buy it now. Or have you ever had the “one day sale‘ sales pitch? You won’t see any ads in the paper or signs in the store but apparently the piece that you’ve shown interest on is actually on a one day sale so you should jump on the low price.
The last time I purchased something from the brick was my leather couch 3 years ago. They had it advertised on sale for $400; that was 50% off of the regular ticket price of $800. A few months later, I saw the couch there and it wasn’t on sale. However, the ticket price was nowhere near the regular price when I bought it. I am fucking convinced that this scamming company jacks up the ‘regular price’ just to make the sale prices so unbelievable.

They named it ‘The Brick’ because that’s what they expect customers to throw through their windows.
