Sales tactics
Would you like some lemonade? Or a brownie? They're only 25 cents! And if you politely say, "No, thank you," we will continue to ask you anyway, possibly even following you up the driveway into the garage as you look at our parents' junk. And we will ask again. And remind you that you "need" a brownie. And you will be so affected by our giant puppy dog eyes, that you will reach into your pocket and purchase a cold glass, or a warm pastry, whether you truly "need" it or not. And to avoid the risk of being hounded even more while we try to make change, you'll just tell us to keep it. To which we will respond with a sweet, "Thank you!" and a few more bats of our lashes. Because it's effective. Really, really effective. To the tune of $10 in each of our pockets effective. So...would you like to buy some lemonade? ;)
