This isn't a case of bullying, it's financial desperation & she won't cease, until she's forced to. This woman obviously got herself, into a financial hole; as most MLM victims do. She's just too desperate, to sell her products; to choose to stop.
Did you accidently misquote? Where did I say it was bullying? I'm the one who said she was desperate. And the desperation is obviously financial. So, uh, yeah.
No I misread "bull", as "bully"!0 -

Right, that's why I wanted to hear the exact words she used because I have often observed women being very very bad at setting boundaries. Because as girls they were socialized to be "nice" and "polite," woman often have difficulty expressing a clear and unambiguous "Not interested. Stop bothering me."
I doubt this Shakeology saleswoman would have pestered me more than twice. (My first No would have been polite.)0 -

Hmm. Maybe, I guess. Something like "I don't really need that shake" might encourage the saleswoman to explain why the OP might0 -
I would do as we learnt in an assertive training class. "No" and if she persists "I said no!" No smile. Put your hand in front of you look her square in the eyes.0

Some of these were quite humorous. She was there again today and had "samples" of an energy powder for me. I said thank you, took it, and threw it in the trash can in front of her. She scoffed, and made her way to the far side of the locker room. Clearly telling her I'm not interested and ALLERGIC wasn't enough for days on end, but throwing away her product in her face may have been the kicker. I think I might actually be able to get ready for work after my workout in peace again...let's hope!23

I started reading this cringing that you took it and said thank you, but did a 180 and threw them away in her face. Get IT!

Right, and as demonstrated, "I'm allergic" will encourage a salesperson to explain why their products are non-allergenic.0 -

I tend to have a short temper. So I would probably tell her where she can shove her shake. And tell her if she didn't leave me alone I would drown her in my "crappy shake." And see if she wanted to talk to be about it anymore...0

Not savage - long overdue0

The next time she comes around you, start sneezing and coughing. Act sick. J.0
