So, it's her sister who's the...That's a tough one. So, it's her sister who's the rep. and only offers to buy something when she gets something for free? That IS wrong. I don't think I've ever heard of a sales rep. trying to get in on the hostess bargains! Doesn't she already get a discount, anway?<BR/><BR/>As far as the greed thing goes, I've learned that what goes around comes around. One time I was wanting to get my baby bjorn back from a friend I had lent it to for 2 weeks before Seth was born for her to try out. After I had Seth she kept forgetting to give it to me. I was going to make a fuss but decided not make to a big deal of it and to let her return it when she would. The next week I found a brand new city black bjorn at the thrift store for $3 ( the other one was an older model I got at a thrift store). It was such a direct blessing. I really felt like God was trying to teach me something in that moment.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06454832318583154673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421263671179183329.post-45843595015642697362008-11-15T15:53:00.000-07:002008-11-15T15:53:00.000-07:00All I can say is that REALLY SUCKS!I feel bad for ...All I can say is that REALLY SUCKS!<BR/><BR/>I feel bad for you and your friend. I have learned that you HAVE TO speak up for yourself or you WILL get trampled on. I just hope it is a learning experience for your friend and that she never allows her sister to take advantage of her again.<BR/><BR/>I sure hope you got some awesome stuff for your savings....besides just negative emotions.<BR/><BR/>Also if I were to ever do something like this to you...you better put me in my place fast. :) Sometimes us no brainers (me) do really stupid things without even thinking about it only to realize it later, if ever.Carlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07515821520111896040noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7421263671179183329.post-89782439483873646152008-11-15T01:20:00.000-07:002008-11-15T01:20:00.000-07:00Sheesh. I would be so frustrated. I'm not sure i...Sheesh. I would be so frustrated. I'm not sure if I would have been able to keep from saying something to her about it. On one hand, it sort of makes sense, if her sister doesn't spend the extra fifty bucks she doesn't get a freebie anyway, so if her sister DOES spend that fifty bucks, she should get it herself. It is selfish, though, as you say. But I'm so selfish that I think my main problem would be (if I were you) that I had just spent so much of my own money, and the person really benefiting from it is this lady's sister. That would be hard.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for this reminder. I know I need to work on my selfishness. It's true that it is rarely if ever worth it to be selfish. (but sometimes so hard to stop yourself!)LisAwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299284773832500834noreply@blogger.com
