I know some of you love Kodak, as well you should if it's what works for you. But I have NEVER had a good experience with Kodak products. The only redeeming Kodak product I use right now is Preps, but all previous Kodak products I've worked with do not have a happy ending.

Cue Kodak rep: He walks in through the door. The exchange:

Me: uh... Hi. I think you're barking up the wrong tree. We don't have any Kodak products in this shop
Kodak Rep (KR): I know. I'm here to change that.
Me: Unlikely. I haven't had good experiences with any Kodak product, and the owner here feels the same way, but I'll get him for you.
KR: Can you elaborate on that a little for me?
Me: No. It's too numerous to mention and I don't want to get in to it. It causes me too much stress.
KR: OK. Well a lot of stuff has changed and I want to let you....
Me: (interrupting) I'll go get the owner for you. (I get up and go to the boss' office). There's a Kodak Rep here to see you. (The boss doesn't even make eye contact with me, and shakes his head "no.")
Me: (walking back to KR) He doesn't even want to talk to you. Thanks for coming in!
KR: Well, maybe you could tell him...
Me: (interrupting) No. Thanks. Good day!
KR: Well if I knew the issue here...
Me: (interrupting) I said we're not interested. Thanks. Bye!
KR: You know it doesn't have to be so personal.
Me: It's not personal. I said, "no thank you," and you keep persisting so I think you're coming on strong and I want you to go now.
KR: I'm just going to leave my card in case anything changes.
Me: (trying my best to go about my work and ignore him) It won't.
KR: (leaning over my monitor on my desk)I'm just going to leave this here...
Me: (looking up and making eye contact) Please don't.

He must have finally gotten the message, because that's when he finally left.

Reminds me of a time when Da Boss's Wife (aka Miss Management) took a business card from a vendor, turned away from him, and as she was walking back to her office, crumpled up the card and tossed it in a waste basket while he was still at the front counter!

The salesguy looked on in stunned disbelief and said to me and my co-worker, "This must be a fun place to work in!" as he departed, never to be seen from again.

Cheers, John the Fontaholic

I'm not saying dude wet himself when I rolled my eyes up at him to tell him not to leave his card, but there were a few drops of something moist by the door. H3O?

No wonder he was so persistent. You got him all clingy with your bedroom eyes and sweet nothings. Did you pinch your nipples and lick your lips when you whispered "please don't".

Is that because you 'heavied' him.   :laugh:  Well, it's really ²H₂O, but I'll claim poetic licence...   :tongue:

Wow...Kodak will probably just fold up shop and go out of business now after the licking you gave them. :sarcasm:
