The Seacret 500

You know those kiosks at the mall? The ones that you don't want to visit or make eye contact with. The ones that have vendors walking around, reeling people in to tell them about how fabulous their product is. It's so fabulous that the company can't sell enough of it to afford a real store to sell them out of. I'm saddened because I really don't like these kiosks and my favorite mall has now started allowing them. As Natalie and I sit at our favorite mall, Desert Ridge Marketplace, we can't help but watch the kiosk that is stationed closest to us, Seacret. I believe they're selling skin products made from salts harvested from the Dead Sea. While being here we've been laughing at the tendencies of the vendors. There are 3 vendors at this kiosk. Whenever they aren't actively pestering someone, they are just hurriedly circling the kiosk, looking for their next victim. If a couple of them are cicling at the same time, it looks like a race. We call it the Seacret 500.

that's hilarious, so true! I'll be watching and laughing at the Seacret 500 next time I'm at the mall. --Greg

I think they should wear NASCAR uniforms and get sponsors for their race. Then they wouldn't be so pressed to make "the sale."
