I had an in-home flooring salesperson a few weeks ago. Although he made conversation easily, he was business minded. My fear was that he wouldn't leave until I agreed to the sale. He was insistent, even asking me why I scheduled the appointment if I wasn't going to buy today. He was very upset with me for wasting his time. Because of the change in his demeanor, I wouldn't ever consider the company. And I am in need of new carpet.
The fee was $20. I honestly don't remember exactly how long he was here. 45 minutes? But no gas spent and I was curious what I could expect to pay. Overall, it sounds like it could have been worse.
