Today...and honestly this just barely classifies as a suck but I cannot stand it when someone wants me to match some cheap online website with no storefront..
Guy walks up to me and asks for help in the Watch shop. Sure, I'm his gal and accompany him over and start the chit-chat leading up to (hopefully) a sale.
Guy: So, my wife wants a watch.
Me: Okay, did she tell you any specific brand or what functions she wants?
Guy: (pulls out a computer printout - obviously he's done some searching on Glamazondotcom). She wants this one. (points at watch on printout)
Me: Perfect! I have that exact watch. (I produce said watch and confirm it matches his printout) What do you think, sir?
Guy: (small suck starts) Well, I see here online it's nearly half price. They seem to have a lot of deals online.
Me: (tired of bargaining with the internet and I take the watch and start to put it away) You know what sir, that is a great deal, you should probably try to order it from them.
Guy: (obviously mulling it over getting back online and ordering the watch that he just had in his hand). Nah, you know what. I'll take it. Since you got it right here...
Me: Sure thing sir, (hands him watch) Thank you and have a great day!
I'm gonna try that again the next time someone starts the 'cheaper on the internet' refrain with me.
