In the spirit of the Christmas shopping season. Who is the absolute worst at upselling when you buy something?

My candidates? CITGO, Caribou Coffee and Best Buy.

I don't care if I go to the restroom in those places, they are always trying to get me to buy something more or bigger.

I went to a Jiffy Lube a while back and it was the worst by far.

Good one. Best upsell lately for car places is the cabin air filter. They will ask you every time, whether you need it or not, and charge you $50+ for something you could do yourself easily for $10.

Also, the apple store comes to mind.

I took my kids to the movies the other night and the girl at the concession counter was trying to upsale popcorn... it is annoying.

Yea the movies is the worst. "For $1.00 for you can get a large that comes with free refills" Who the hell is going to get refills on popcorn and soda in the middle of the damn movie?

      I'm not expecting it to happen, but we definitely need an upgrade at LB.  He fits the bill for sure

      No, you're just flat out not comprehending what is going on, because if it was really how you think, more than only the first 2 players taken in the round would be signed right now.  Enough teams would just say screw it, it's not worth fighting with the agent over such a relatively low guaranteed cap hit. Your point about teams being afraid of spending that draft capital and not getting the player signed is also just asinine on the surface.  Because yes, the teams want to make sure the draft capital they used is on the field for them, but 2nd rounders fail more than they succeed in general.   If one holds out to try and re-enter the draft after a year off of football, they're tanking their career before it ever gets started and will fall further in that draft too.  Teams expect their 1st rounders to pan out, but they just hope their 2nd rounders do, it's why the pressure is on the team to sign a 1st rounder, but it's why the players have so much more to lose by holding out than the teams do for anyone after the 1st round. It's 100% about precedent, that's literally the only thing driving this right now, on both sides.  Again, if half the teams had signed them, or even a third of them, you might have a leg to stand on. But it's clear this has nothing to do with agent/team leverage at this point, it's about both sides trying to set a new precedent for contracts, and I don't see the agents winning this one on the whole.  Maybe a few more end up getting it, but I'd bet at least 20 of the 2nd round picks do NOT get a fully guaranteed contract.

      Ideally my top 4 as well, but XL needs to prove himself to be a reliable target. I genuinely like the dude.  His ceiling is stupid high.
