You've never had upsell piled on you until you say you want a small, cheap, rental car on Maui. You may guess how I know.

There is not one restaurant, fast or otherwise, around here that allows me in the kitchen to identify the ingredients or to watch my meal being prepared.

A kiosk is just a big touch-screen tablet. The boys have become one with them.

I prefer the kiosk or an app. They don't make mistakes and I don't have to talk with an idiot.

As an employee I was encouraged to upsell at the counter. As a shop owner I continued that practice with my staff.

It worked quite often...Ka-Ching!

Yes, I'm sure it did. But the employee also needs to know that by the third refusal by us to take a bigger car, it's time to cut to the chase and get the paperwork done. The IQ Zero at this counter must have gone through 75% of the types he had on offer before he finally quit. I'm on vacation to relax, not waste time telling hard sell types "no" repeatedly.

I, and my staff, stopped after the first "no".

Not the response I usually give to such a question after giving explicit instruction!
