  • discounts...

    Over the summer, I work weekends for a family friend at a Farmers Market. Farmers Markets, at least here, are basically a bunch of people who make or grow stuff within a certain range of the marker and sell it.

    The booth I work at sells wood stuff. Cutting boards, Coasters, Stir sticks (basically spatulas) and some jewelry.

    Local people who come to buy stuff are usually great, I just have the most problem with tourists.

    One guy a few years ago, try to get a discount. He talks with my boss, who never appreciates this. She got kinda nasty.

    So what does he do? Talks to me. I was on 'break' and eating.

    SC: So... You like your boss?
    Me: Yeah...
    SC: Your customers?

    Oh. I see where this is going.

    Me: Yes. but not as much as I like my job.

    My boss tries her best not to laugh. She doesn't normally encourage me to harass people, but she decided to let it slide.

        Heh heh! Nice!
        I don't thing a flip reply constitutes harrassment, though. Someone trying to niggle with a vendor after being informed that the practice isn't welcome warrents a bit of pithiness, imho.
