    “This offer will disappear soon. Take it now or never.” I’ve seen this tactic from manipulative salespeople, hiring staff at terrible companies, and… nowhere else. Until now.

      Remember those old infomercials that would air and straight up lie about it being a “limited time offer”? Like, motherfucker, this ad is 18 fucking years old… I’d be shocked if they’re still answering the phones

        It’s a limited time offer. It’s done when they sell 500 of them.

        They haven’t sold 500 yet.
