Massive Fan But Sadly Not A Breeze
(Customer calls to order some Justin Bieber-printed merchandise. We get to the checkout phase.)
Me: “Right, that’s [price].”
Caller: “I’m a massive fan. Can I get a fan discount?”
Me: “Pardon?”
Caller: “I’m a member of the fan club. I should get a discount for that or something!”
Me: “I’m sorry, madam, but we aren’t able to give that kind of discount.”
Caller: “This is appalling. You should give his fans money off! We deserve it! His fans shouldn’t have to pay as much for his products!”
Me: “Madam, I doubt anyone who wasn’t a fan would be buying these anyway. So, technically, you are getting the fan price.”
(Silence.)
Caller: “Screw this. I’ll do it online!”
