FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT HOUSE
Anyway, Sally was very excited about her new source of diabetes supplies. Once we got past the discussion of Mr. Callahan living in Frank Lloyd Wright house, Sally chimed right in about how she was getting supplies for a quarter of the price. What was the catch, asked Mr. Callahan. No catch, said Sally. All you had to do was pay a one time fee of $125 and you would be able to do it too. In fact, Sally was now a distributor for the company. We all looked at each other. This was a multi level marketing scheme. I couldn't believe it. Well, I guess I could. Multi level marketing was invading every aspect of consumer life. Most of the time you just alienated your friends and family. Sally announced this to our support group while the group leader was out talking to a staff member in the hall. None of us wanted to participate, and Sally seemed hurt, but in order to keep the whole thing going you had to keep signing up new people. I didn't like this, plus the idea that someone in the group would be making a profit off of the others wasn't so great either. Nobody opted in. Sally was upset and kind of sulked for the rest of the meeting.
