I'm not sure if this is a pyramid scheme or not, but I used to intern with a girl who worked for a company selling mail order groceries. She was consistently trying to get me to order stuff and it drove me nuts.

Her "sales pitch" went something like this:

I would always bring a snack of cookies or crackers to work because I didn't take a lunch.

Girl: Hey those cookies look good. Where did you get them?
Me: Acme (local grocery store)
Girl: How much were they?
Me: I dunno, like 1.00.
Girl: How often do you go to the Acme?
Me: Like once a month
Girl: Doesn't it frustrate you to have to navigate a crowded grocery store all the time?
Me: Um no, I only go like once a month so it's no big deal...
Girl: Well, what if I could get you those cookes for LESS than a dollar?
Me: It's no big deal really....
Girl And I could GUARANTEE that you'd never set foot in a grocery store again?
Me: Um....
Girl: (cuts me off) my company sends grocerys through the mail at HALF the price blah blah

She handed me the catalog and I checked out my cookies. They were 50 cents WITH 2.00 shipping & handling. I told her no. Yet she continued to ask me EVERY WEEK when I came in.

I finally told her I didn't want any and she was pretty mad. She insisted that people "wasted their money buying directly from the store." There's no way I'm going to buy something and pay DOUBLE in shipping.
