The Price Is Right… Here
A customer in line places an assortment of tools on the counter and says:
Customer: “What sort of discount are you going to give me because I can buy these tools elsewhere?”
Me: “Go elsewhere.”
Customer: “What?!”
Me: “Go elsewhere. I don’t get commission. I don’t give a s** where you choose to be a pain in the a**. Oh, and add on the cost of the gas and time it takes you to go elsewhere to buy those tools.”
Customer: “You could have just said ‘no’, you know.”
Me: “And you could have just bought the item quietly like all the other customers.”
He finished the purchase in silence, and I didn’t get into trouble (not that it would have mattered, as I was a week away from retirement).
