💭 Shone’s Thoughts | My Story of Sales Deception in Canadian Retail

🔥 The truth behind The Brick’s “free TV deals” and the toxic sales culture surrounding them is far stranger than most Canadians ever realized. In this episode of 💭 Shone’s Thoughts, I reveal the hidden practices, betrayals, and internal sabotage I lived through while selling millions in furniture and electronics. This story blends personal experience with industry insight — from inflated pricing and low‑quality imports to the alliances, jealousy, and commission theft that shaped my years inside one of Canada’s largest retailers. These memories resurfaced after a vivid dream, urging me to finally speak openly about what thousands of customers never saw and what many salespeople silently endured.
