9th July 2008 :: No Crocs for me

I wondered in my post on Mental Floss if some people still bought the crocs because they were too embarassed to decide not buying them because they are over priced. Just imagine the scenarios
“Welcome sir. How may I help you?”
“I am looking for a pair of crocs”
“Certainly sir. Size 9 if I am not mistaken.”
“Right.”
“Here, please try these on sir.”
“Thanks.” Tries them on. “What other colours you have in my size?”
“I'll show you all the colours we have sir.”
Now the salesman starts showing the colours and first time holding the shoes in his hands, he reads the price tag. “Fuckin' hell” Tells himself.

You tell me if you were in a situating like this, you would

• Tell the salesman the price is not what you were willing to pay
• Try to find some excuse or the other for not buying
• Knowing any excuse will make will not mask the true reason, you buy the overpriced shoes.
