retail/swap meet

why is it that the customers i've been getting ALL ****ing day today thinks that my store is a ****ing swap meet. trying to get discount and ****. now if they were nice about it, i'll take off 5 bux or something... but wtf... screaming and yelling and telling ME how to fun MY ****ing business? goddamnit... i'm so pissed off...

no offense to any of the flips or hawaiins here... but jesus christ... a retail shop is NOT a ****ing swap meet.

^^^I say screw them! SCREW THEM!

Hey you got any word on if it's ok to meet at your place this thursday?

Hey, stay at your shop until at least 3:30 I'm gonna drop by since I'll be near you.

^^^Tell him how tame our meets are...mostly we just stand/sit around and talk about cars. There will be ZERO stupid driving being done.

BTW WRXed may be coming as well in about 45 minutes

i'm not offended, but posting a racial comment on a PUBLIC message forum, while trying to get customers into your store is a pretty bold (read: dumb) move...

hey man, i hear ya. i get people comming to my store trying to drop the price. i say to some of them that this is nothing to try and bargain over. and i give an example like if you go to safeway, would you try and ask them to drop the price? maybe becuase you shop there alot? no. i also get a lot of repeat customers that always expect discounts. screw them!!!
