Customer: “So, yeah… like, I need to know how to retail [brand name product].”

Me: “Well, I can send you a contract to become a retailers so you can purchase them from us.”

Me: “Uh… most people put product on a shelf with a price on it.”

Customer: *cheerful* “Ooohhh, okay! Thanks, that’s all I needed!”
