Crappy Marketing Practices II: Metrowealth

Posted by cyberpunk on October 21, 2007 · Leave a Comment

When I got home, my aunt informed me that she paid a P100 deposit on a stove. I was “asked” to pay for the rest of the amount. Guess how much that was.

The freakin’ stove cost P13000! (Around $260).

At the Metrowealth store, I got to talk to the saleswoman:

She: You can add to your initial deposit.
Me: Like I said, I don’t have money right now.
She: How much do you have? You can give that to me.
Me: No.
She: How about credit card?
Me: I didn’t bring it with me.
She: Well, I can go with you back to your house, and you can pay me there.
Me: What? We just got here! We haven’t even looked around yet.
She: You can look around then I can accompany you guys home.
Me: No!
She: Come on, let me see your house!
Me: I live in Tondo! There’s nothing to see there! Geez.
She: You can pay me P500 right now, so you can charge just P8000 to your card to get the items.
Me: What’s the difference whether I pay now or pay next week?! Why the hell are you badgering me? God, you’re irritating!
She: Oh. Am I irritating?
Me: Yes!
