I will never, ever set a foot in that part of the Mall of Georgia ever again. I was alone, casually walking by myself to get to my car to beat the four o' clock traffic when I was approached by this vendor called the Dead Sea. I politely said no I am fine to whatever he was saying, for it was not clear and I was just looking to get home. The guy had the audacity to pull my arm over to the kiosk and set all my shopping bags down for me without asking. That is when I started to get uncomfortable. But just because I'm nice, I thought id try out their producr because others were there to. He bagan by rubbing this lotion that felt like sand on me which I thought was pretty cool cause it did make my hands feel good. Mind you I was not going to make a purchase at all. He then tried to give me "deals" on certain things if I got them in packs. I politely told the guy no I believe ten times, yet he kept pushing me to buy something. I felt threatend at this point. Mind you, I am a nineteen year old girl alone having to deL with this tall, overpowering guy. I finally just bought the cheapest thing he showed me which was not that cheap since I ended up spending 85 dollars. The guy was not even pleased I spent 85 dollars for he was trying to throw in last minute deals. So as I was starting to walk away, a older man blocked my waypath. He was another associate at the vendor. He asked me innappropriately did I have a boyfriend and I said yes I did. Which isa lie but I thought that would keep him away. He then proceeded to show me a picture of him in Israel on his phone. I honestly was nice enough to smile at this point. I was hugely irritated, felt my boundaries have been disruppted and of course the pain of spending 85 dollars on some stupid scrub. He was holding one of my bags so I could not escape without it even if I wanted to because it was my Mother's day gift. The guy then offered me a "Mother's Day Special" of two lotions for $45 after I told him I had no more money to spend. He then asked me what was my budget, so I replied to him I only have fourty dollars, I am an hour away from home, and I need to get gas. He then proceeded to offer me a lotion for the LOW price of $35 dollars, hence the sarcasm and told me if I loved my mom I would get this for her. I politely explained that I had no interest in buying. His breath was literally breathing on my forehead that is how close he was to me. After a billion more polite no's, I finally grabbed my bag which was way open that anyone could steal it and left in a hurry never looking back. Honestly turned my shopping experience into a horrible one. I will fight to get my money back.
