Customer: “Can I get a discount?”
Me: “We’re not offering any discounts at the moment.”
Customer: “But I deserve a discount.”
Me: “Why?”
Customer: “Because I have cancer.”
Me: “I’m sorry to hear that, but I can’t give you a discount for that reason.”
Customer: “How do you sleep at night?”
Me: “Much better, now that I am in remission from my breast cancer, thanks.”
The customer went white and paid the full price. This was three years ago, and I’m now in complete remission!
