An Inflating Sense Of Delusion

I work at a store that sells appliances.

A customer comes in. As all of our salespeople are busy with other customers, our manager walks over to help him.

This customer comes in often to check if the $400 hood fan he wants has gone on 50% off yet.

After spending almost an hour in our store, he leaves. The manager comes to my desk and tells me that this customer has seen every sales staff member in our store for the past five years asking the same question and never buys. Of course, with our inflating market, the price has gone up over the years and has not gone on sale. This time he was also inquiring about a high-end fridge known for starting at $5000, thinking he could get a deal on it.

Nice try!
