A trip to the salon

So - today, I decided that I would get a pedicure. This sounds relaxing doesn't it? Wrong. Pedicures can be a fairly traumatic experience. To increase sales, I think salons use a cruel marketing plan that looks like this:

* Surround your customer with fashion magazines featuring beautiful women.
* Ask customer about her boyfriend/husband.
* She doesn't have one? Perfect. Ask her why she doesn't have one. This is the most awkward question in the world to ask someone and will also make her feel really pathetic.
* Immediately following the intrusive questions about customer's non-existent relationship make a cruel comment about her eyebrows. Such as: "Your eyebrows. Very overgrown - you want wax?"
* Customer will immediately understand your not-so-subtle correlation between her having no boyfriend and overgrown eyebrows. She will agree to an eyebrow wax.
* Take her into shady room with early 90s wall paintings. Put hot wax on eyes. Tell her she might like an upper lip wax.
* Customer declines. Surely she does not need this.
* No problem - just ask her again about her husband.
* Customer reminds you she is not married.
* Ask customer how old she - this will remind customer that she is getting old.
* Talk loudly in a foreign language to your coworker - make the customer think it's concerning her unfortunate appearance and then ask again about the lip wax.
* If customer declines again - begin furiously plucking away at her eyebrows.
* When customer winces in pain tell her "you a baby"
* End waxing session. Tell customer she looks beautiful even though her eyes are completely red from hot wax and you spent the last 45 minutes implying otherwise.
* Repeat process.
