That skin product store next to black tag in Ayala mall

[u/Dramatic_Date_9989]

Okay so ga libot2 lang ko sa Ayala. Pakadto ko sa black tag Kay fav ko na da mga band shirts Nila. But before I got there, may nag bangga sakon nga sales lady. I was a bit interested man. They’re selling some skin treatment product.

I actually find it funny. So okay nagpa butang ko sa hand ko. Gin open kuno sang said product Ang pores sakon skin. I’m like okay. Then nagsulod si ate girl, makwa daw sia paper towel Kay trapuhan ya. Then damo naman sia gin hambal, gin compare ya piyak ko nga kamot. I just kept nodding politely. Then makwa daw sia moisturizer. Then ginhagad ya na ko sulod sa store lmaoooo. Ginpapungko ya ko and gin Butangan ya moisturizer kamot ko. Daw magic Kay 5 strokes lang sang lapta2, gin soak na kuno sang skin ko Ang moisturizer. Then Ang piyak ko man nga kamot nga wala sang product Nila and Ang moisturizer wala na soak hhahahahaha

So damo2 naman sia explain. Skin treatment daw sia. Not skin care. It costs 8k 😭😭😭 then the boss joined and offered, just bc she felt being nice, she’ll give it to me for 5k. Hahahah Ang sales lady super WOW MAM THATS SO NICE. Wkisdidu like what the heck 😭😭😭

Then more sales talk. It was pretty convincing ngl. Dugay2 nag offer Ang boss free facial. They said their facial costs 9,500 but they’re giving it to me for free. It’s a full treatment facial that even includes jaw alignment chuchu. Yung sales lady super react liwat HAHAH it even sounded very scripted. So the flag is bleeding red na at this point. that’s just not reasonable for businesses right?

Then I started being honest to them, I said I can’t afford it. (I’m broke ok?) then the boss offered 50% off. So 4k na lang plus free facial like whaaaaat ahhaahaha actually atp gapamalhas na ko kay nd ko gid mani ya afford. Where ma get 4k? And I feel like theyre going to add more suggestions and services that will cost more than that.

In the end, I got out. Mayo lang!!!

Idk if it’s legit or not though. Maybe legit siya. Maybe I was about to fall into bigger scam.

Anybody here who experienced this?

Renovar? Oo weird shit nabudol man kona nila, the product was meh Ive been using it, did not see any improvements. I agree scripted. Tanan mona ging describe amo mana sakon. I am amazed how you remember all the details 😭🤣

[u/Dramatic_Date_9989 → u/ProfessionLatter370]

Gakadlaw ko Asta subong gani. Ka convincing sa ila. And they wouldn’t even let me talk to reject them. Good for one year naman daw Ang product kay once a week lang gamiton. It makes sense. But the discounts they keep offering gives red flag vibes gid ya.

[u/newspuzzleheaded_ → u/ProfessionLatter370]

Dumduman ko gin offeran na nila si mama ko 100k worth of products and services tapos basta damo2 to sila gin mention dayon 50k lang kuno i pay niya. That day nagbakal to si mama ko sang pomegranate na nga gapang exfoliate tapos grabe na dayon ang patong2 nila hatag offers asta sa nag lab ot 100k plus ang worth dayon naghambal si mama ko wala sya budget para dira dayon nag hambal ang manager nga mahatag sya 50% off kuno kay nanamian sya samon te 50k nalang daw i pay niya. Nag refuse man si mama ko kay gusto niya lang gd ang product nga gin buy niya hahahaha pero grabe2 na sila mang salestalk as in may ara pagd na bisan galakat kana palayo, lauton ka pa hahahaha 🤣

[u/Dramatic_Date_9989 → u/newspuzzleheaded_]

HAHAHAHA OMG AMO MANA AKON. GAAN YA KO KUNO DISCOUNT KAY NAMIAN SIA SAKON. daun Ang ila product daw ka fake man. Feeling ko Kay wipes to si ate girl nga gintago2 pag wipe ya ka moisturizer nga gin absorb na kuno sang open pores ko HAHAHAH

[u/newspuzzleheaded_ → u/Dramatic_Date_9989]

Had the same experience way back in 2021 siguro, then liwat naman sang 2023. First encounter, student pa ko to and I told them that I don’t have cash and indi akon card dala ko, akigan ko ni mama hilabtan as an excuse (and tbh indi ko man gid afford). Damo ko excuse sa iya and sa “supervisor” ya ngaa indi ko, and tanan nga rason gina tagaan nila solution wth. The salesperson even deadass told me to use my mom’s card and explain it later sa iya kay pati siya kuno dala na sa free facial, kag ka nugon kay one-time offer lang ni kag para sa akon lang na offer kay student ko kuno 🫩.

Felt very pressured and irritated kay obvious gid ya nga fake ang “HALA SIR SURE KA?! DAKO DAKO NGA DISCOUNT BA!”. Nag-refuse gid kami ka mga friends ko to, and sang second time na biktimahon naman ko nila, lain naman nga mga employees but the same script and scenario gid ya. I just had to tell them off nga gin-try na ko di into before.

[u/GossipGhurl]

I was a victim. haha Paid a total of 70k sa sm pa yun..Grabe ka convincing, they applied collagen on my face which is very effective gid man. But until now wala naubos. And YES TO SCRIPTED REACTIONS. I made friends with their staff and gained their trust, they told me na they were given a script daw to memorize so they can tell the customers like.. “alam mo maam kamukha ka ng mama ko..” , may kamukha kang artista.. Awww sobrang spoiled si maam.. wow! good mood si boss today kakausapin ko hingi tayo nga discount… alam mo maam ang ganda po ng eyes niyo and etc.. hahaha! 😂 budol2!!!

[u/aryastarkholmes]

Hahahaha! Same! Ginstop man kami da nila sang migo ko after we went to Shop Samahan since ara lang sya sa tabok. Same man ila nga gin ubra. Ginbutangan man ko nila sang lotion/moisturizer sang akon hand tapos gin ask ya ko if ga skin care ko and I said yes and gin offeran ya man kami sang treatment. Hambal ko nga no thank you since ga work on me man ang ginagamit ko nga skincare.

[u/Dramatic_Date_9989 → u/aryastarkholmes]

Daw ka creepy gane noh? Hahaha ka unrealistic sang discounts Nila and free pa nga facial hahaha nalipat ko actually ka place kay daw madlagan ko palayo. Very nice tactic but scripted sang pag offer discounts and treatment.

[u/aryastarkholmes → u/Dramatic_Date_9989]

Nag offer pa sila sang ila nga products sakon aside sa treatment hahaha hambal ko no need na kay may skincare naman ko haha but yeah, they're really persuasive especially if medyo lutang ka and wala animo 😆

[u/Dramatic_Date_9989 → u/aryastarkholmes]
