Those Annoying people Blokes in Villagio

Chocoholic...I don't have a pantyhose, can you lend me one?

nomerci- It's not available where I am now(India).

Try their camomille soap, it is really nice!

Edifis, to avoid this problem you can wrap the bar of soap in a piece of your pantyhose :)

I like the Khan Saboun. I only used the mint soap...and it feels very cool on the body. Good for the summer months. But one thing annoys me is that the small square bars have some black-green things in them like leaves and they make my loofah look dirty.

I agree they are quite annoying. there are some guys in hyatt plaza who also sell soap and perfume and they are so annoying.and after you tell them no sometimes they still insist.

Well brit, the only difference is that at home they are women, not men...if they are men, they are gay.

But seriously, in this particular case I have dealt with only one guy , and he has always been very respectful to me.The others don't approach me because they know that I am the GM's customer. So maybe that is why...

Surely there's a clear difference in the way they approach and deal with you.. Perhaps , as you say, you've been here too long to differentiate :o)

Well, here is the thing. In my home country, if you go to buy good creams etc, you WILL want to test them. So here they let you test the oil...sure, they are guys, we are women, we are in the ME...but seriously, would you think twice about it if this happens at home?

I bought plenty of their soaps over the years, and spoke to them many times.

To me, they are still both pushy and creepy. Can't wait to get a chance to rub their overpriced oils into my hand and arm, which I don't let them do.

I just tell them right off the bat what soap I want and "no thanks" to the other stuff.

If I speak to them in Arabic, they behave right away lol

Having met these men and women and taken time out to talk to them - they are (allegedly) a family run business who wants to spread the word of what they produce from their farm.

Are they creepy?

They are keen and they do approach a lot of people not only in Villagio but also in Landmark.

If I was keen to make money and they are - I would approach anybody. They are a bit like the Avon and Tupperware Ladies.

They are trying to make a living.

Give them a break - I love these kind of people - they are working hard, they are keen and love their product.

I have bought some of their stuff and it is not that good but I do admire their hard work and since then, when they have approached me (again) a simple; no thank you, not today does the trick.

Don’t be angry be sympathetic.

I don't know, they have never been creepy with me....ah well, maybe I've been too long in the ME to notice anymore...lol

I like their olive oil soap. But their creepy salesmen, Yuck.

seantrump you entered late on the thread like Angelina said the title has been moderated by the moderators..:)

Oh good!

AngelinaBallerin yeah right..YYuuCCCkkkkk

seantrump.....obviously you do not possess the ability to read before writing...if you did you will see that the original title has been moderated by the moderators who felt the original title was racist......get it right lad before commenting on my English, which is my first language by the way so I am able to write correctly.....in English...

Even a soap thread needs a washing over!

I am not barking. Simply posted my OWN opinion and I do it very seldom.

Commenting on comments is really silly.

Get a life "marketing strategist".

Angelina your post.

1. title. "Those Annoying people Blokes in Villagio"

2. I feel I have to vent my frustration about this!!!

Does anyone else feel that those people blokes selling crappy soap are a pain in the neck???

3. They are getting worse at hassling ladies as you walk in the bloody door!!

4.'ve even taken to going in the other entrance just to avoid them.......Yuuccckkkk!!!

5.they are Lebanese cos they wear pointy shoes and have bad skin......

6.Yes I am racist.....against eager soapsellers that sell blue soap (wth??)

I wouldn't mind a full demo on me if the sales person is a pretty lebanese lady..

Angelina and no you are not correcto.you wrongo

Angelina baby Title, "Those Annoying people Blokes in Villagio".

wrong englisho/No englisho Peopleo Blokeso.No.Wrongo

Me reading, right, you typing pointy shoes saying you Annoying people blokes are Lebanese.

Thats racist baby.Here you wanna play the guessing game i am weaning no shoes, no pointy shoeso.can yo say what nationality i am.

I don't know if it is the same guys but I have seen some of those vendors behave very inappropriately. For example grabbing a lady's hair (she was a petite fillipina and couldn't really do a lot) and some lady there rubbing perfumes onto a man's hand/arm. The comments are meant to be 'sexy' i think but they are more sleazy. I just stay far away.

Yes, Yemcolian but this is my thread and yes I am someone gorgeous......lol @ Jorjetka ......

Angelina is 100% right.

I am not disabled or mentally ill and I don't look like one.

Annoying blokes are all over the place offering help.

I DONT NEED HELP! EVERYTHING IS ON DISPLAY. WHEN I NEED - I ASK!!!

MY WIFE CANNOT ENTER A LOT OF SHOPS, DUE TO THOSE BLOKES CHASING HER. WHEN SHE IS WITH ME, THEY BACK OFF A LITTLE.

The truth is, MAN should work and do something useful, instead of selling ladies underware or crappy soap.

So its all about the attitude in the shops of some unpleasant looking/talking people.

No "AngelinaBallerina" I didnot ask u actually, I asked "Formatted Soul" that Is She some1 really gorgeous..????

@Formatted Soul, Are u really some1 gorgeous?

And you seantrump are indeed reading the post for you to comment on it ....am I correct??

seantrump.....darlink please read the thread fully before commenting...if you use the simple power of "reading" you will see that the original title has been changed.....effwit....

seantrump.. You are reading the modified version after the Mods intervention..:)

"annoying people blokes" that don't seem proper.Anyways, human beings being given the power of "communication" tend to use their skills in "speech" to convey their feelings.

Maybe the OP is expecting "annoying people blokes" to be reading her/his post at QatarLivin

MBK I guess you should try the yak soap.. maybe it will make you as strong as a yak...lol

Brit...She already used the free sample as car freshner..

The only answer is for Khanan to distribute free samples so we can all try out the products.

Well at least we've discovered that Angelina is in "dire need of their products" and suffers from severe acne :O(

FS I am a victim of that chain too.. Mrs MBK had been tricked by them to buy those products too, which she never used and are now sitting along with Yak soap from Tibet..:)

i onced went to Villagio and at the entrance door there was this lady selling soap for bootiful skin, i bought one - went home and applied on my head - the next day i was Bald....:(

Anywayz...your negative thread gave good publicity for Khan Al Saboun products.... I am sure many ppl who read this will try it out.

Angelina, if you indeed have acne, then no, it is not.

I dont think somebody is so stupid to CHASE u or PUSH u if u refuse them nicely... Its just ur attitude which is highly negative.

Maybe someday someoneELSE will see u walking in PLAZA and will say YUCCCCCCKKKKK and will insult u like ur insulting the other poeple.... dats preeeetty rude, right?

JUST READ ONCE LINK POSTED BY MOD BELOW UR POST saying

"Deliberately and repeatedly bashing of any nationality will get you banned."

mmm thanks but my acne is beyond treatment lol

Angelina, if you are interested, I can recommend some products that worked very well for me.:)

Aha!! Now theres a thought.....lol I didn't look at it from that perspective!! :0

The only person that gave me a soap was Oryx after her trip to Tibet. It was made from Yak Milk me think..

I have never used that yet it is on the top the mantle sitting nicely as piece of decoration..:)

Angelina...maybe they think you are in dire need of their products...;)

Khanan, I deal with the GM only...;)

I tried to get a job theer, but the trousers were too tight :o(

I find them irritating and pushy, they literally chase behind me with a bloody leaflet!!I actually had a freebie once....the blue soap made very good car air freshener....lasted ages!!

for liking our products :)

Can you identify any specific salesman so I can give him bonus this month ;)

'Khan al Saboun'? They have fab stuff...I use quite a few of their products. Lovely smell and they work very well for my skin. Plus those guys actually know what they are talking about...and they take their time to explain the products. Very good customer service and knowlegeable salesmen.

What exactly is the issue ?

Do you find them overbearing, too pushy, unhelpful, snotty ???

Yes I am....

Are u some1 Gorgeous..??

Oh for heavens sake.....its hardly racist is it? Take the large pomme de frite of your shoulder........tsk tsk...

Errmmm.....the ones in Villagio sell crappy soap from Lebanon.....Syrians selling soap from Lebanon.....and dodgy soap at that!!

MOD! :)

The thread was a racist one and thanks for taking the appropiate action!

MBK :)

Yes I am racist.....against eager soapsellers that sell blue soap (wth??)

hey smart gurl before you bash the lebanese at least make sure from the identity of the shops .

because its not a lebanese shops .. and your so far from knowing lebanese people ;)

lol at Khanan Saboun Aka Khan Saboun..:)

The ones in Royal Plaza are Syrians..:) cant you say no to testers?? I just smile and say NO thanks..

are you a racist? LOL

thats part of there work.... thats why they do that...

they are Syrian and this is what they told me :)

and its not 'Khanan for Soap", its Khan..

I use shampoo.

Why abuse the door?

they are Lebanese cos they wear pointy shoes and have bad skin........if I wished to buy their revolting smelling potions from them I would, I don't need to be chased on my way to Carrefour!!

I thought they were Syrian..:)

Which shop are you talking about ?

Is it "Khanan for Soap" ?

This there job and you can refuse there testers gently.
