My neighbor come to shop at the store. He specifically called for me, as I don’t stay at the front lines of retail but behind, doing other stuff, and jokingly asked, “can I get neighbor discount?”. I said sure, and while he’s in front of me, I call the supervisor at the phone to approve that. Not even ten seconds pass that he’s shouting in my face “can you hurry with that price? I have something else to do!!”.
I hung up the phone, sorry, you asked discount, I had to approve that, your price is $LIST_PRICE
If you’re really good at customer service (i.e. manipulation), you’ll say the price just went up 10% this morning, but you’ll get a discount of the same amount, because you’re such a great pal. Basically just the normal price, but it feels nicer.
What’s the male equivalent of a Karen?
The pejorative use of the name “Dick” has been around for quite some time.
I’ve read ‘Ken’ sometimes whenever they refer to a male Karen.
A dickhead.
Hey anyone can be a dick head
“Male Karen” is the term I hear the most. Karenism transcends genders.
I don’t get why you’d call the manager to try to negotiate anything… Dude made a joke, all you had to do was make a snarky quip back while you were scanning his shit in.
Imagine if he asked how you were, would you call your doctor and ask for a checkup?
i was ok doing the discount but i had no idea of which margins there are on the cashier because usually i’m on the back doing IT, not the cashier - so the call
It’s not always a joke and you can never tell who is going to make their entitlement your problem.
and joking asked
OP said it was a joke 🤷
In another time, I would shit all over the neighbor, but considering the times, I don’t blame him at all…
Edit: My bad, I missed the part where he began screaming
Pretty sure the issue was that they were rude to OP when they were attempting to get a discount, not that they asked for a discount in the first place.
Everyone is in a hurry and has shit to do. Screaming at the person you summoned, who’s trying to help you out because you’re impatient is the epitome of a selfish, shitty person.
You’re absolutely right, I completely missed the part where he began screaming 😅
