I appreciate Leslie Cunningham’s letter regarding the two new “skin care” businesses on Forest Ave. I have had the same aggressive unpleasant experience – so much so that I have avoided walking on Forest Ave. I would like to know how these two stores suddenly received business licenses when local stores like Shirley’s Bagels had to wait months. The people in these businesses have actually taken people by the arm and “guided” them into the store – i.e. pulled them in against their protests. It is the antithesis of what this town is about – it reminds me of a circus side show.

Editor,
With regard to Leslie Cunnigham’s letter of 6 November; I must agree that predatory sales techniques at the cosmetics company next to Rock Martin need to stop. No one enjoys being assaulted with questionable creams by ultra-tenacious sales staff. Good thing I’m fast on my feet for the getaway, but [I] have witnessed many unwitting passers-by ensnared. Time to learn some manners, new business!
