Some days it just does not pay to get out of bed. I had breakfast with a girlfriend at Perkins on Monday and while she was in the restroom a woman came up to my table with an Avon book, handed it to me and said "here is an Avon book, you look like you could really use it." I was so startled that I was speechless, but I wish I would have asked her, what she was implying.
Now she did continue around the restaurant passing out her "beauty book" so I wasn't singled out, but I am not sure she used the same inspiring selling tactic with the others.
So, some days.....

WTF?! That Avon Lady is a tool. The Fiddler females are some of the most age-defying, naturally beautiful women I know. Screw Avon. Screw Botox. Screw stupidity and an overly narrow definition of beauty. I hope you had some tasty food at Perkins. :-)
What a rude woman. I have known some very nice Avon saleswomen. They did not look like models and they behaved like they liked people. I predict this woman will not last long at the company.
I am shocked that someone would criticize your appearance. You always look so fresh, pretty, and filled with vitality.
I hope someone confronts this woman about her behavior. I also hope, dear sister, that you do not take her words seriously. You have your act together. She doesn't.
Most businesses do not allow people to bother their customers; especially when they are enjoying a meal. Often signs are posted to make people aware of that policy. The Avon sales person was probably violating that policy. Her behavior is an example of why those policies are written.
Thanks for those comforting words family. I have to say that I was pretty surprised, but actually kind of amused. I kept thinking, what sales training manual did she use? Anyway I suspect that she was the Stealth Avon Lady, flying under Perkins management's radar. Oh and Katie, breakfast was pretty darn good, had the farmer's omelet with pancakes and potatoes, not very healthy, but very filling, but tonight it is a salad with lettuce from Fair Share Farm.
This is an interesting situation, I mean if you kept the Avon book you have her name and phone number. You could recepriacate by sending her a business card saying she looks like she could use a good a massage. Business for business. Did people gather outside Perkins waiting for her to come out?
Ah ha ha ha ha! That's hilarious, Carol. :-) I'm envisioning pitch forks and torches.
