I just thought the storyline was flimsy from the start. The salesperson was a total pusher and was blatantly over the top in approach. and why make Calvin and Ashleigh the "victims?" She already has an identity of being naive and ditzy, why ham it up even more?

And i wanted her "card being declined" scene to be more meaningful. While charging gum is hilarious, her ass needed to be stranded somewhere. Or purchasing something she actually needed. Then all to be "solved" by her limit being upped? Come on.

It was all so lame - everyone was like "take it easy there big spender" and she was so oblivious.
