interesting event this weekend. at a farmers market, we found a booth that was selling infused honey. the booth was operated in the front by a man and several women. the man did nearly all of the talking, even though we tried to engage the women in conversation only to be interrupted by the man. only after we bought a jar of the honey did the man stop talking to us. we were able to find out the booth was full of marketing students who infused local honey as a sales project.

I welcomed them to the marketing world and wished them luck. but it bugged me throughout the day that the man, a college-aged student, would try to railroad the conversation, even when we were standing in front of the women and talking with them.
and it still bugs me. not sure what's being taught in marketing schools. (2/2)
