Gray-haired, professional-looking woman walks in with a teenage boy.
"May I help you?"
"My son needs a computer for college."
"OK, what are you going to be studying?"
"Music."
"Very good. I think this one would be just fine for that. It has (blah, blah, blah)."
"What about this one?" (Points to another brand, much more expensive.)
"That would be an excellent choice, also."
"Well, of course you'd say that, since you're selling them."
*You pompous BITCH! What'd you ask for if you didn't want an answer! What'd you expect me to say?*
"Well, ma'm, we're not on commission, it doesn't matter to me what you buy, I was just offering my opinion."
"If you really mean that, then tell me which ones I DON'T want to buy."
*How DARE you question my integrity, you low-life scumbag!! Oh...wait a minute...I don't have any integrity. ;-)
I've seen this kind of bitch before. They push your buttons as hard as they can, looking for a reason to complain, and by way of that complaint, get a big discount on their purchase.
You've pissed me off Royally, now bitch. I'm looking for a way to screw you over before you leave.*
"My pleasure. You need to stay away from anything with less than 4 GB of ram, and less than a Dual-Core processor. This one, this one and this one would not be what you're looking for. Everything else is acceptable."
*I swear to God, we walk down the whole row of laptops, playing this same, stupid game for over half an hour..."What makes this one better than that one? What's the difference between Intel and AMD? What's the jigabites on this one?"*
*She finally settles in on one particular model. I know from looking it up earlier, it's not in stock.
She's been wasting my time and being a real hard-ass. Now it's my turn! Muhahahah!*
*She asks all the same, idiotic questions she's been asking about every other laptop. I answer every one, patiently, slipping in as many times as I can that this is the ONE, nothing else will meet every need she has as well as this one. Finally...*
"OK, we'll take this one."
"Great, I'll just grab you one.......Uh-oh, oh my goodness, it looks like there's not any of those in stock. Just one second and I'll check the inventory system to be sure.
...
I'm SO sorry, there are none in the store. May I check to see if I can order you one?"
"OK, but we need it this week."
...
"Dog-gone-it, that model is back-ordered online. Right now, there's just not any way we can get one of those for you. It's too bad, too. That's the ONE, PERFECT computer for your son."
*They leave, but she makes a point to mention that they are going to X-Mart to buy one that they saw earlier.
SCORE!!! I made her think that that was the one and only computer that she wanted, then wasted a bunch of her time talking about something that I knew wasn't in stock, and got rid of a customer that was going to be trouble no matter what she bought.
That's a WIN in my book!*
