Vine-Vera Beauty cart con artists Los Angeles California

I was new to LA and looking for apartments to get out of my parent's house. I had stopped at the grove for food and maybe one or two outfits (didn't want to spend more then $100.) Then the french lady working the counter offered me a little packet of body lotion. I was trying to be couteous and excepted it (big mistake). She then dragged me over did a demonstration and I thought to myself "how much is this going to cost me?" She assured me that I was getting 75% off deal and showed me what the price would be. It was only a little more than I wanted to spend so I figured I could shift my buget around a little. Then locked my credit card in the drawer (which is when I caught on) and didn't let me have it back until I had pretty much boughten the entire Kiosk. Anyway, I'm pissed and going to have to move back to Ohio with my parents because I can't afford a f****** appartment now.
