fishing in a sale

whenever i buy large ticket items like my chanels or most recently, my tiffany diamond necklace, the s.a.'s always send a thank you/"enjoy your purchase" card afterwards (almost a month later though cuz i think they want to make sure that you've kept your purchases and didn't go back for a return or else they would not get credit for the sale which means eff the card!). i'm always tickled by these cards because i normally don't get them until weeks after the fact and when i open that envelope, i'm reminded AGAIN what a spendthrift i can be. whoops.

so that got me thinkin....no, no, no...not whether or not i should curb my spending habits. actually, i started thinking how SMART these s.a.'s are because by sending me a card, they are trying to secure themselves a client for future sales. it makes sense right being that most sales positions are commission based. i be nice to you, i make you feel important, i want you to know i'll always be there for your spending needs...BUY, BUY, BUY FROM ME. smart. i don't know about you, but i like getting service from the same people if i can help it. and if you're friendly and not pushy, i'll stick with you for the long haul. i really don't like talking to a bunch of strange folks all the time and since i'm going to get the item anyways whether here or there, might as well be from a nice person that can use the commission.

just thinking out loud.
