I absolutely feel like I'm at a used car dealership getting the upsell. I told them that. 1st the x-rays, then the dentist's tsk, tsk, tsk. Then handoff to their "finance" person to explain everything the insurance doesn't cover but it can be financed.
Or when I went in for a cleaning and the hygienist is now tsk, tsk, tsk. And explains to me that I need this special protective rinse that my insurance doesn't cover, that'll be an extra $50, but the $35 cleaning is covered. Thank you No Vested Interest for giving me an opportunity to discuss something non political.
