Unless you were physically threatened (which you clearly were not, according to your description), I don't see a valid reason for this transaction to be overturned. If you are uncomfortable with high pressure sales people, then by all means, buy what you came for and never return to that place - let your money speak for you. But you were not obligated to purchase that package, no matter how hard they tried to make you feel like you needed it. If you are incapable of saying "no", that's your own problem, not the merchant's. Ultimately, if enough people find the sales tactics abrasive, they won't return and the business will suffer / go bankrupt.
@djfiii, Thanks for sharing your thoughts, a lesson learned.
