“At higher end stores, don’t fall for the freebie Prosecco or Pellegrino. Stores just want to keep you in there longer so you’ll spend money.”

This isn’t the only trick stores use to get you to spend more during the holiday season.

“The stores are really desperate for your business, and will stop at nothing to upsell you.

“Where I worked, HQ would set next-to-impossibly high sales goals that each store was responsible for hitting. We were instructed that once we had someone on the line with money to spend, to ‘keep her naked’ in the dressing room and constantly bring her different colors, accessories, shoes, jewelry, Pellegrino, the works. The idea was that the more she tried on, the more you told her it look great, the more she’d spend.”
