The obvious extra question is:

"If you think it's so great, how come you're not using it?" Unless the sales girl's enjoyable life includes selling the machine she's in to disinterested customers.

In the least convenient world, the answer is: "I can't afford it until I make enough money by working in sales." Or alternatively, "I have a rare genetic defect which makes the machine not work for me."

Well done. But parent comment is still clever and amusing, if useless.
