Bit annoyed about an overbearing asst in Boots. I asked for a sample of their new foundation.
Anyway, they are offering a free 7-day sample, so in I went and waved 2 colours at her, being very polite and pleasant.
She almost 'demanded' I was colour matched- didn't ask if I'd like to be - so I had to sit in the chair and go with it....
All was going well until she handed it to me and did the usual 'are you on our data base?' I said no and didn't want to be. (I think I am actually because I've bought online and get loads of emails.) She tried to insist this was necessary as 'You've got a free sample and it's our practise'. Then she asked me for my phone no- FFS- so she could call me in 5 days to ask how liked the foundation. I refused and again she tried to pressurise me by saying it was 'usual' when they had given out a sample. I still refused. I don't give out my phone no willy nilly and I certainly don't want some asst phoning me during my working day to talk about make up!
Seems a bit OTT- Anyone else come across this with Clinique cos I never have with Dior which is my current foundation.
