That's why you have to deal with this frustrating ****.

My first response would've just been "**** you. I would never write garbage copy like that. I'm a professional."

Never waste time on a wall of text when you're dealing with someone like that. Just tell them to have fun being a useless twat, and move on.

WE AIN'T GUNNA IF YOU WANT A DISCOUNT ON EVERY SINGLE ****ING ITEM YOU TWAT.

This isn't a f*cking yard sale. It's a store. The only reason we put up with it is because we're still trying to build a customer base so their 10% off is better than nothing. The logic kills me though. "I love this store. I hope it stays forever. Please give me everything cheaper than how you price it which is already dirt f*cking cheap."

F*cking scumtwats.
Should have asked for three-fiddy

i reguarly deal with the same goddamn customers here who just want to feel like theyre winning the deal

if the part goes for $400 i go in at $450 so when they fire back at $410 im like “oh man... i guess, just cause you’re a good customer.”

but yeah it does suck. people wanting something for nothing.
People do that? I mean, I used to watch The Apprentice and they'd always be like, "Oh it's ninety quid? We'll give you seventy." And I'd be, **** man, you try that in a real store they're gonna run your ass out of there. They don't need your cheapskate business. They're trying to make money here. But it really does happen?

Ah I get where he's coming from. Sometimes it's good just to let loose, even if it will achieve nothing in the end.

i dont think it really happens elsewhere but it definitely happens regularly in the automotive business. in fact, you’d be hard pressed to find a situation where that doesn’t happen within our business. around here things have adjusted so salesmen and dealership employees are paid on quantity rather than on profit so gone are the days of a salesman making $5000 on that car he sold you. instead the dealership will lose money (ive seen ours go as low as losing almost 10k on a corvette) just to help hit their goal of units sold.

idk guess it’s just a different place.

I'm telling you, you walk into Tescos or Easons or Penneys (main stores here) and say this costs X I'll give you Y (Y being a lower figure of course) they'll laugh at you. It just doesn't happen. I mean, in the Apprentice, obviously there are TV cameras and a crew, and the salesperson has probably been briefed what to say. But in reality, I've never ever seen anyone do that.

Me, I do the opposite. Sort of. I bought a pair of binoculars and the guy wanted twenty euro. Decent deal. I said how much to post them to Dublin? Eight Euro says he. So I said that's twenty eight, I'll give you thirty. Sound, says he.

Mind you, when I got them they were ****: lenses all scratched to **** and no use to anyone. Guess that sort of spoils my little story, huh? Not that anyone was listening of course.
