Do you ever buy anything from mall kiosks?

I can't stand malls as it is. Trying to navigate these shills make it an even more annoying task.

I don't know how they make any money with their pushy, harassing sales approach. They almost seem offended when you politely say "no thank you."

Maybe it's because I grew in a big city, but I ignore them the same way I do pan-handlers - look straight ahead, don't make eye contact, and keep walking.

The only things from those I'll buy are games and calendars around Christmas time. Otherwise I find they tend to be pressure salespeople and otherwise scummy.

Never buy a cell phone from those people. You sign up for contracts that tend to be much worse than whatever you would have if you go directly to the cellular phone company.

Most of the mall kiosks where I am at sell imported Chinese sunglasses, purses, and hats at 3x the price they are online...

So basically, NO

The last time was a few years ago for calendars.

Nope. I feel like they will be gone the next day if I need to exchange something...

I bought the Rosetta Stone language program at a mall kiosk. I was going to order it online, but did not want to pay extra for the shipping or wait for delivery. Otherwise I pretty much avoid them like carnies.

Hey, log in or sign up first!

Whatever it is you're trying to do can ONLY be done by registered, logged-in Deals.Woot members. Why? Because they're better people than you. Don't worry: you can easily improve yourself by logging into your Woot account or signing up for a new one.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
