Unscheduled quality check on gas range tanks

March 19, 2009

Beware of those friendly technical guys (not those offering insurance quotes) knocking at your doors offering to check your gas range tanks and citing government approval even if it was not a scheduled check-up or visit.

Well, they would first inquire if your gas tank has passed government standards or quality check. If you reply no, then they would tell you that they’re here to check on that. After which, they would introduce a high quality accessory to your gas range tank and explain the reasons why you should own one. So, after all, they’re here to sell something, yeah?

There are so many ways to introduce a product but when it is done in the pretense of doing some quality check supported by the government, it just feels like you’ve been duped. Even if you didn’t buy the product, you just wasted your time letting them check your stuff and listening to some product presentation afterwards.
