A place where I worked for six weeks. During that time I was taught their time tested method for selling lots of artery clogging goodness which I plan on sharing with you right now:
Step 1:
Great the customer with a
hearty full toothed smile and proudly exclaim "Hi, I'm YourNameHere. Can I interest you in some hot fresh popcorn topped with something that has the
consistency of hot grease and tastes a little like butter?"
Step 2:
Get their order. If they ask for a small, get them to buy a medium. If they buy a medium, get them to buy a large. This is called upselling, or attempting to convince your
gullible ass that you need a huge tub of
stale popcorn and a huge cup of
sugar water that doesn't fit in the drink holders.
Step 3:
Attempt to talk the customer into buying just one more item. Their biggest suggestion here was that if the customer has children, to stare directly at them and say "
Hi Kids. Would you like some candy? We've got a ton of it... it's all right here inside this brightly colored case."
Step 4:
Take the money. Give the person their change.
Step 5:
Repeat.
