Default Dermatologist selling lotions etc?

I do not like it when you go to the beauty shop and have your hair done to be subjected to a sales pitch from the beautician to get you to buy high priced "products" for your hair.

They may be superior but boy are they way too expensive. I realize that the sales add to the beauticians income.........but holy cow..they cost way too much.

My friend told me that she went to the dermatologists office for her once a year "look over" and was shown lotions to buy on site for the skin.

I can understand a doctor, a dermatologist recommending lotions, but to sell them at the office seems unprofessional to me. We are given prescriptions sometimes for medicine to apply but never asked to buy things.

What do you think about this?
