Monday morning...
Esp the ones who think it's ok for them to "[s]massage[/s]ignore" the T&C's and ignore important milestones like deposits but still expect you to open your doors and deliver services at the agreed dates and times!
"Oh but we're a very small business and our a/c's dept has been overworked..." seriously!
S'holes
It's OK we are all off to the pub now... catch you when the cheque clears
Customers do suck mostly (worst thing about running a business 🙂 ). Had a great one in this morning though, former TT rider who's just bought himself a Merlin engine so that made for an interesting chat!
Hmmmmmm yeah customers are mainly twunts who begrudge a working person a wage and want to negotiate over peanuts. Yet will fall over themselves to pay pseudo sale prices reduced from inflated RRP's, for shiny stuff with massive mark-ups. Manufactured in poor countries with low wages and dubious working conditions/practices. From companies who pay no tax/next to no tax, but collect it from their workers! Who sell direct from centralised warehouses, causing bricks and mortar businesses who contribute to both the local and national economy to go bump.
It almost makes me smile when a market is consolidated into an oligopoly and they control prices between them, bumping them up for fun and reducing quality on an almost monthly basis, sticking two fingers up to those that got them rich in the first place 😆
My favourite trick is when they create a premium priced version of a product they wrecked during cost reduction exercises. It's a funny old world ain't it 😆
