My neighbor come to shop at the store. He specifically called for me, as I don’t stay at the front lines of retail but behind, doing other stuff, and jokingly asked, “can I get neighbor discount?”. I said sure, and while he’s in front of me, I call the supervisor at the phone to approve that. Not even ten seconds pass that he’s shouting in my face “can you hurry with that price? I have something else to do!!”.

I hung up the phone, sorry, you asked discount, I had to approve that, your price is $LIST_PRICE

    Yeah, people are fucking stupid. I empirically proved they’d never get a lower price, but they passed because they thought the capitalism knew more than me.

    Guess what? Those fuckers didn’t get to deep fry a turkey because they’re stupid. Which I guess is a net positive for turkeys

      On the downside, they probably ended up spending more money and receiving less in return. If they bought their junk from Amazon, they also contributed to upholding poor labor practices. Nobody wins in this situation except for the corpos.
