When we were in Branson, hubby signed us up for a sales pitch for $100 cash. Needless to say, I was not amused. Went to the presentation, though, as he would not believe me that it was a high pressure sales pitch. He thought was just a presentation about campgrounds. Turned out to be a time share for Wyndham type resorts. I sat at a table in back with hubby waiting for the sales pitch to end. I was answering a text from our kids when the presenter made a comment about the rude lady in the back tables. I made a comment that I was there to make sure that the only reason I was there was to make sure that hubby only came away with $100, and if he would focus on getting thru his presentation, I could get out of there and back to my vacation trip. He did just that, and the salesman assigned to us sat down at the table and began the high pressure. Wanted to know about our credit cards, limits, etc. Told him that the only card was in my purse, that it would stay there, and the limit was our business, as were the answers to all the other questions he was trained to ask us, not his. I told him further that we would not answer anything else, that we wanted our money and he could get onto another rube to see if they would buy, because we certainly would not be buying or signing anything. He was taken aback, signed our voucher and went on his way. Hubby listened to me after that, and he used the money to take me out to dinner. ??
