wth is wrong with people?

[Geneva Olson]

lady walks in and asks if we have a pamphlet with pricing. Well, no, we do custom work. I ask her what she was looking for for pricing and she says, "anything". I don't know if she wanted me to price her out for a hamburger or a yard sign.

She took up my damn time for nothin.

I had a lady in our shop some years ago who complained our place smelled like paint and it stank. WTF ?? Lady, you're in a paint shop. Thank goodness, she left right away.

Is it possible she's working with another sign company to see what the competitors are charging? Sounds like she just got a job in sales for some other sign company, and her first task is to "shop" other sign companies to see what they are charging. It also sounds like she's not going to have that job for long

Im just waiting for the day someone asks me if I have a sign in stock with their business name already on it. I wouldn't be shocked

 

[James Burke]

Had one ask if I charged "standard rates".

Did you tell him you barter with seashells?

 

[Gino]

Not seashells, but booty might work, if he doesn't have real money.

I had a builder come in and say "you make signs, how much do they cost" I said, "you build houses, how much do THEY cost" he actually got my point

And your damn time would have otherwise been spent doing what exactly?

I had a client come in and ask if we had a "Parking for anesthesiologist only" sign (yeah, I had to look up the spelling). I said I'd have to check our stock--what color did she want? She said green. I'm a cynical smart-ass but try as I might I couldn't come up with an appropriate response.
