I actually spoke to the corporate office yesterday as it was really bothering me that the sales person did not care if he sold any furniture or not. I explained my problem to her and asked if the salespeople were paid on commission. The reason I asked that question is that my Dad was a furniture sales person and worked on 100% commission. There were some weeks when he did not get paid but then there were other weeks that made up for it. He was very caring to his customers and they became repeat customers. I also advised corporate that I am well aware that they provide the packages to the new homes in The Villages and gives 10% coupon to whomever buys a home. I would not want these people to feel obligated to buy and feel frustrated like me. I asked this person in corporate if they ever heard of talk of the villages. They said no. I advised her that there are very negative comments about their store. I truly think if The Villages realized this, they would look elsewhere for a furniture contractor. She thanked me for being candid with her and said she would take a look.
