"Oh, uhhh, dude we were closed for four months. I told you that. These are full price. That'll be $27."

"Ohhhh man REALLY? No discount?"

NO YOU FUCKING TWAT. YOU DON'T GET A FUCKING DISCOUNT.
I would say they probably weren’t/aren’t doing that great either then I remembered they’re buying a product that’s essentially free so they have to be some variation on the yuppie *******.

No, dude. Would you walk in a deli if their sandwiches were $7 higher than normal?

So basically some variation on the yuppie *******

Btw, when did bargaining become a part of record store culture?

Don't even frame it as full price, just tell them "for you, 27 dollars" then they'll feel all special.

These people feel special before they walk through the door. It's MY privilege to be in their presence.

It’s as if they think they’re walking Freak Fighter journals

Next time ask them to make an offer and when they give you a price be like "$30". Then when they look confused and say it was $27 before, you say "$35".

Next time just put a gun to their head and take their money and don’t give them the record. Then go their mama’s house!
