The (Not So) Joys of Commission

I just got back from taking the boys to get their pictures taken. Carrie told me about this new place in Provo and they were having a special for a ton of pictures for only $10. I was all over that! We go and the kids were good, but it took longer than expected. They took ALOT of pictures! I sit down with the photographer to view the pictures. I tell her up front that I was only interested in doing the $10 deal, but she proceeded to show me all the vignettes, colorings and arrangements anyway. We went through all the pictures and I still tell her that I only want to do the $10 deal. She tries to show me another package that is a little less expensive and I respond with my same shpeel. She tries another avenue to sell me a ginormous package with a ginormous price tag. Again, I told her I only wanted the one pose for the $10. I think she finally saw that she wasn't going to upsell me, because her mood turned very sour. She all of a sudden was very short and got really impatient. Not OK! The pictures were really cute, and I did like the place and service up until she pulled a Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde on me just because I didn't want to drop $200. Can you say Commission?? I didn't appreciate it very much. I really would like to go back, but her behavior is making not want to at the same time. I will post the picture later when I get it scanned. Why are people sometimes like that? Thanks for letting me vent!
