An honorable member of the Coffee Shop Has Just Posted the Following:
for the last week, i was looking after a furniture shop in Dempsey while the owner was on holiday
an ang mo couple came in and was interested in a piece that was listed at $2600
as usual, bargain
my instructions as to pricing were quite precise from the owner and i said i could sell it to them for $2350
the wife also picked up 3 small items at $25 each
after giving them the $2350 figure, the husband offered $1800
i said sorry cant sell at that price
kept trying
then he had the audacity to ask me " what's your margin" ?
WTF is that to him?
finally i said last price $2300 (after smsing the owner)
then try again : he would pay $2300 if i gave him the 3 small pieces (total $75) for free.....
ffing unbelievable
