Furniture sharks
We SHOULD be closing on Wednesday and moving on Thursday. NOTHING is definite at this point, so don't hold your breath! We have been busy packing stuff all weekend and throwing stuff out. We took a few hours out on Saturday afternoon to go furniture "browsing".
I will NEVER, repeat NEVER spend any of our money at ROOMS TO GO. We WERE going to look around their store in Grapevine on Saturday but after SIX seconds of us entering the store, we were pounced on by a very aggressive saleswoman. We told her from the off "We're just looking, thank you." Not content with that response, she FOLLOWED us around the store continuing to spout out stuff about the sales they had going on at the moment. AGAIN, told her we were just looking. She then responded with "I am just trying to EDUCATE you". Well at that point, I about lost it and she almost ended up being smacked in the mouth. We both said in unison that we did not want or need to be educated and just wanted to be left alone. She continued to spout out shit at which point, we just turned around and said that we would be leaving then. She retorted sarcastically that we could do that and I told her "F*** you lady!" This all happened in the time frame of 30 seconds. WHY can these people just not take the hint that we do not wish to be hounded all around the store?
We then went to JC Penney's where the atmosphere was so much nicer and decided on a really nice sectional couch. See? If "Miss Rooms To Go" had of been more laid back, they might have gotten a sale out of us. Grrrrrr.

I felt the same way going to Rooms-to-go. We are pounced on from the moment we walk in the door, but usually the person I get can take the hint. You did the right thing by leaving.
Hubby and I bought our couches at Foleys. Their sales people were polite and laidback and sometimes you can get a fantastic deal on a piece or the whole set.
I'm about to head over to your house site and see how it's progressing!
Thanks Mo, I think so too. JC Penney's staff were very pleasant to deal with and understood the whole "people need space deal". Roomstore were like that too and we even overheard one salesguy telling a family he was talking to that he hated pushy sales people himself so tended to be more relaxed with customers.
I haven't updated the house site anymore of late as it should be done. I know the appliances have been delivered and hopefully all our dots of blue tape should be removed and the cosmetic stuff all finished. I guess we will know this week! ;-)
