Called Empire for a quote because my wife likes their catchy TV ad song. The sales guy Aaron comes in Thu afternoon and tells me I need to commit to them before he leaves or else he can't give me the sale price. The oldest sales gimmick in the book. Then he says if I don't get the sale price, I can still get their 'special' pricing if I make a decision in three business days. So I said, I'll get back to you by Tuesday and he says, he would need to know by Saturday because they work on Saturdays. He says they are so busy he makes $180,000 per year. At this point he hasn't even shown me their carpet selections yet. I asked him to show me the carpets and he shows me two kinds, one is the thickness of a towel and the other one is 1/8" thicker. There are only two light-colored carpets in his book, the rest are pink, green, blue, orange and other strange colors. Oh, and he can't give me a breakdown on the cost. He was a fun guy, but he won't get my money.
