"Casey Davies, what are you doing? I'll just take a look, we're not buying, don’t go in there.” Edith Patel said.
"We have to buy a new TV. We have got there, just take a look." Casey Davies said with a smile.
Edith Patel had no choice but to follow Casey Davies inside.
Edith Patel wanted to look at those cheaper TVs, but Casey Davies said that TV was a necessity and it must be of good quality.
So, they came to the most upscale area in the appliance store.
"Wow, Casey Davies, let's go somewhere else, the TVs here are so expensive, they cost ten or twenty thousand."
Edith Patel looked at those prices and wanted to go away.
"Ten or twenty thousand isn't much money, let's have a look first." Casey Davies said.
A salesperson who was standing not far away took a look at them, feeling that neither of them looked like rich people and couldn't afford a TV here, so she didn't move.
She had seen this kind of person many times before, they couldn't afford to buy a TV but still wanted to have a look, so she usually didn't pay much attention to them.
Casey Davies didn't know much about TVs, and when he saw a salesperson standing over there, he walked over and asked: "Hello, can you make an introduction about these TVs for us?"
The salesperson didn't even lift her eyelids and said, "You'd better go somewhere else, the TVs here are too expensive and it's a waste of my time to introduce to you."
Edith Patel heard this and immediately came over to tug on Casey Davies' arm, after all, she did couldn’t afford the TV here, so the salesperson said nothing wrong.
Casey Davies got a little upset when he heard what the salesperson said.
No matter whether they could afford it or not, it was the duty of the salesperson to introduce products to customers, and this salesperson didn't even bother to introduce the product to them because she thought they couldn't afford it.
Some people would feel that they were also high-end just because they were selling something high-end.
"How could you know we can't afford it?" Casey Davies snapped.
The salesperson glanced at him and pursed her lips, saying, "Look at the clothes you're wearing, they don't add up to more than a hundred dollars, do you think you can afford a twenty-thousand-dollar TV?"
"I'm sorry, we were just looking around, we've caused you a lot of trouble." Edith Patel rushed over to pull Casey Davies. If he kept arguing with the salesperson, hey would be more embarrassed.
"You’re right." The salesperson acted like Casey Davies had made her a lot of trouble.
"She's a salesman, it's her job to introduce us to the product, so how is it that we're the ones giving her trouble." Casey Davies said.
"You guys are giving me trouble because you just look at it and don't buy it." The salesperson aggressively said.
Instead of continuing to argue with her, Casey Davies pointed at the most expensive TV and said, "We want this one, check out now."
Edith Patel stared and said, “Are you crazy, that TV costs 38,000 dollars."
The salesperson was a little nervous when she heard Casey Davies say that he was going to buy the most expensive TV here.
She would get into trouble If Casey Davies bought this TV and complained to her supervisor.
But she noticed Edith Patel's reaction and guessed that Casey Davies was just pretending. They couldn't afford such an expensive TV.
In the end, she chose to trust her instincts and still didn't change her attitude towards Casey Davies.
"You said you were going to buy it, if you can’t pay at the checkout, I'm going to call security to kick you out." The salesperson said coldly.
