In the hardware store sometimes my customers insist that I make the final selection of screws bolts etc. to fix baby cribs, childs swings, tramplines (those projects which we would be sued)
I usually mention they I'm helping them by showing them what we have, but for "liability reasons" they will need to make their final selection ( I say this in a nice tone of voice too)
But lately several customers have objected to the thought that they need to be liable for their own work
I'm just trying to protect myself, but as soon as some customers hear the word "Liability" some will moan & grown and get pissed off because they don't want to take responsibilty for fixing their own baby crib, tire swing, etc.
I don't want to use the word "liability" any more, but don't want to get in trouble for refusing to help a customer make their final selecton of screws and hooks for dangerious applications. Is their another way to handle these kinds of customers?
