Re: Teavana and Teamonster....
Are you talking about the salesperson who sold him an $8 tin on the sly? Yeah, I thought that was despicable.

Re: Teavana and Teamonster....
The salesperson asked if he had a tin, and when he said no, she put his tea in a tin without asking and then charged him the $8 for the tin on top of the cost of his tea. AND, he asked for 2 oz, and she put 3 in the tin and charged him for that too.
I've been in there before to buy tea, and they've tried that on me, I made them take the tea out of the tin and put it in a bag. Then they tried to oversell the amount of tea, told me that I couldn't have them remove the tea to be just the amount I asked for because they "weren't allowed to put it back in the sale tin." I walked out without buying it at all. If I ask for x amount and you try to coerce me into more than I ask for, you just lost a sale buddy.

... sounds like a grifter
... guess I will have to read it again. Or maybe he/she posted it somewhere else.
Hah, here I thought they were being nice and gave him a tin.

Frankly, I think he is associated with Teavana. Just trying to gain some ground here.... Very naughty, no Santa for him.

Re: Teavana and Teamonster....
Yeah, I think he's associated with Teavana too
Either way, Teavana sucks

Re: Teavana and Teamonster....
Really ... a Teavana plant? You guys are so cynical. Seems like just a kid to me. I guess time will tell. Of course these type don't stick around long either way.
Re: Teavana and Teamonster....
No, the person posted some truly bizarre messages on chat yesterday night when he/she first created the account, which is why we think that.
