Here's a story for you CunningStunt,
When I was 19 I got a job selling a vacuum cleaner called the "Tristar". That company lied in the job ad to get a bunch of naive young guys to come in for an interview. Everyone that came for an interview got "hired" with the promise of big paydays.
After a 1 week unpaid training course you were sent out to sell the vacuum cleaners for $2000 a pop. The thing shouldn't have cost more than $400 in a store.
Every afternoon a group of us went out to deliver scratch & win "contest" cards to low-income apartment buildings. This is how we generated sales leads. Every card was a "winner" so alot of people called in to claim their prize. The prize was a 2 night stay at a resort where they would try to sell you timeshares.
Instead of just delivering the prize I would show up at the people's home to get their "opinion" on a new product coming on the market. It was really a sales presentation. 2 hours later after vacuuming half their house I was grilling/hardselling them to buy the vacuum cleaner. After a while I was very good at shooting down their objections. We had outrageous financing options that could make the thing cost only $30/month for the next 10 years.
I sold many of them to suckers at the full price of $2000. I made $500 on every fullpriced sale. From an old couple that were living their last years all alone... to dumbass parents-to-be living in a basement apartment to ugly divorced milfs who bought hoping they would get a ride on my young stud cock.
I finally quit 6 months later when the company started fucking me over on my commissions.
Years later in university I found out the company was owned by a division of a division of a parent company that was owned by Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway.
Alot of industries are morally bankrupt.
