Did you know that you are not currently getting all that X-corp has to offer you? By ordering more services, and spending more money, you'll make us richer. Oh, and, uh, get more services, or something.

Please, let me show you all the phones and all the plans and just generally waste much of your time.

I know they put you up to it. I often do electrical work before the stores, banks or restaurants open. I have observed the morning "pep rallies". I could never work in sales or retail.

Do you want to super size your meal?

Seriously, I doubt the guy in the McDonalds cares if you get a bigger meal or fries, all he knows is that he will get fired if he doesn't follow his script.

My wife and I enrolled for ballroom dance lessons and paid $1200 for ten lessons. After six lessons, the franchise's studio owner tried to pressure us into paying for $7,000-worth of additional lessons! My wife cancelled our remaining lessons and requested a refund for the difference. We don't go for hard-sell.

We went to a locally owned studio, paid $35 per lesson, and learned four times as much in a single lesson as we did in six lessons at Arthur Murray.

Arthur Murray is a scam...
