Mall Booths

Every time I go to SouthPark, I feel like I am bombarded by sales people working booths trying to sell me a flat iron, a massage mechanism or some miracle hand cream.  I do what I'm supposed to in order to avoid them (look down and pretend like I'm on a mission) but they don't seem to get the hint and they continue to embarrass themselves by asking me if I'd like to try a sample. 

Listen, I get it.  We live in the South, it's humid outside, my hair is frizzy and could use a touch-up, but who knows whose hair that thing has been on!  And that "miracle" cream?  I'm pretty sure that if it was that great, you could afford an actual store front, or at least a spot in a department store instead of this sketchy booth.

At the risk of sounding snobby (what else is new?), what I really don't get is how these booths survive at SouthPark.  This is Charlotte's high-end mall filled with stores like Hermes, Louis Vuitton and Burberry.  If you're going to set up infomercial style booths, you need to move it on along to Northlake or Carolina Place where you can set up shop outside of Spencer's Gifts.
