Thought I might relate a funny story.
So I'm in New York for the weekend, and I get the idea that I might as well pop over to the Sam Ash and see if I can't work a deal on a multitrack recorder. I figure if I can get it for anything less than the zzounds list price, I'll take it. The exchange was hilarious.
RETARD SAM ASH SALESMAN: Yo you need help.
ME. Yeah, I'm looking for the Zoom HD-16.
RETARD: Yeah we got that.
[he puts a display unit in front of me]
ME: Can we plug her in and let me fool around a bit?
RETARD: No.
ME: Why not?
RETARD: I don't got cables.
ME: Okay... What kind of a deal can we work out?
RETARD: Well it's 699.99.
ME: Right. Hopefully we can do a little deal.
RETARD: Yeah, well I can't take much off, because that would mean less money for me. That's how this works. We make commission.
ME: Well, if I don't buy it you won't make anything.
RETARD: You don't want it?
Me: I want a discount.
RETARD: Right... [punches some keys]. There we go, that's a nice discount. I was able to take 30 off the price.
ME: Right, but with tax we're still talking 730.00.
RETARD: Yeah.
ME: I can buy it from zzounds off the net and not pay any tax.
RETARD: Well we have to charge tax. It's the law.
ME: Totally. So charge tax after you give me a 10% discount.
RETARD: But then I would make less money.
ME: Actually you're going to make no money.
RETARD: Why?
ME: Because fuck sam ash, that's why.
Totally ridiculous interaction. fuck sam ash.
Am I being unreasonable?
