Don’t Plug It In Near A Curtain!
A customer comes up to the counter holding a phone charger.
Customer: “This is $24.99 here. I found it for $1.83 on Temu. You guys price match, right?”
I try not to laugh.
Me: “We match local competitors with physical stores and verified online retailers, but not third-party marketplace listings.”
Customer: “So you’re telling me you won’t match a legitimate site just because it’s cheap?”
My manager overhears and decides to nip this in the bud.
Manager: “Sir, be realistic. We won’t match a site where the charger ships from six time zones away and arrives in a bag that smells like fish glue.”
Customer: “So, you people are basically scamming customers?”
Manager: “If you want something that looks like a charger, might work once, and catches fire on day three, by all means, enjoy Temu. We’re selling the kind you don’t need a fire extinguisher for.”
