It's a Good Thing He Isn't Pudge the Fish

[Dips]

We had a reseller who felt he deserved a better discount than we were offering him. He argued a lot. But, since he hadn't bought squat from us in four years, we politely told him "no."

Seriously, he's lucky to be getting any discount at all at this point. Most people would expect you to actually re-sell things if they give you a reseller discount.

Instead of taking it like a grown-up, he started whining. Actual talking-through-the-nose whining. That didn't work either.

After he realized he wan't going to win, he gave us the best parting shot:

"How's the weather up where you guys are?"

"Oh, cold and snowy."

"Since you won't give me a better discount, I hope it gets colder." <click>

Lilo: And today we were out of peanut butter. So I asked my sister what to give him, and she said "a tuna sandwich". I can't give Pudge tuna!
Do you know what tuna *is*?
Hula Teacher: Fish?
Lilo: It's fish! If I give Pudge tuna, I'd be an abomination! I'm late because I had to go to the store and get peanut butter 'cause all we have is... is... stinkin' tuna!
Hula Teacher: Lilo, Lilo, why is this so important to you?
Lilo: Pudge controls the weather.

Lamest cheap shot Ever. But funny as hell!

That is my absolute favorite part of that movie

[Nurian]

That is my absolute favorite part of that movie

My favorite is the follow-up to this:

Girl: (to Lilo) You're crazy... (screams as Lilo pounces her and starts pummeling)

[Boredom]

Lilo: Oh good, my dog found the chainsaw.

That is my favorite part.

[Jay 2K Winger]

The "my dog found the chainsaw" line is funny, but so is the line almost immediately before it.

Lilo: "Cobra Bubbles? Aliens are attacking my house."

I love that movie. Little kids at work are always blown away by my Stitch impression. "Meega nala QUEESTA!"

[HorrorFrogPrincess]

I like the whole adoption scene.

"I wanna buy him! (Can I borrow two dollars?)"

The entire movie is fun, though.

i love the scean where stich is in the middle of the forset with the book and says 'Im all alone' and looks so sad.

This is the exchange that made my grandmother burst into laughter saying "That's you, RW! You're a little brat just like her!"

Gee, thanks, Mimi.

[draftermatt]

My favorite part is when Stich bursts through Gantu's space ship and screams "Aloha!"

Then "You're vile, you're foul"

"Also cute and fluffy!!!!"

Greatest movie ever. Now I have to go home and watch it.

[persephone]

Lilo and Stitch is Daughter's favorite movie. Mommy does not complain, as she loves it too! (Yep -- I talk about myself in the third person sometimes). I have a stuffed Stitch cause I got one for Daughter and it was TOO CUTE not to have one of my own!


Though that guy in the OP? Crazy. Does he really expect y'all to give him a discount when he ISN'T SELLING ANY OF THE PRODUCT? Doesn't that kind of defeat the whole purpose and stuff? Discounts are to encourage selling and production -- not because the client is a cheap b*st*rd who doesn't want to spend the money on a good product that can't be bought anywhere else!!

"Well in that case... <refuse service!>"

But he promised he'd sell lots more if we gave him a bigger discount.

Yeah. That was one of the arguments he tried in the part I didn't post about.

"Well in that case... <refuse service!>"

Or...

If it gets colder up here, we'll cut his discount even more and tell him it goes back to the previous level when the weather improves.

I proposed it to the boss. He laughed, but he didn't bite.

I Hate Dealer Discounts...

...and here's why.

Before internet book selling was around it was a common practice to give dealers a 20% discount. It made sense and here's why. Except for some who have been in the business for a jillion years and have really rare and exceptional stock., who would print out catalogs, used book selling was pretty much a local business. When dealers traveled they would check the local book stores for things that they were reasonably sure they could sell, either because it was their specialty or they had a regular customer for that subject. The local guy was glad to sell it now instead of waiting for the right customer to come it and would give other dealers a 20% discount.

The internet has changed that. The world is now every sellers market. The reasons for dealer discounts no longer exist, so my boss decided to stop giving it. The old school dealers are upset about this and I can understand that. They just haven't figured things out yet. But the on-line only idiots have no reason to get upset. They are selling on the same internet we could be selling it on if we didn't think we could sell it locally. Fuck 'em.
