that is easier said than done though. When we pack, I pull product off the wall of the store with prices already affixed to the item. With the number of products I sell, I don't have time to figure out and relabel everything. So I am one of those vendors that has a cash register and I charge tax on top of the price marked. If I lose a sale because of it I guess that's my loss.
I personally don't argue over a nickel here and there, Usually I have a nickel in my pocket that I can drop into the drawer to even it out. All vendors are different though.
Being rude like that just doesn't make cents!
I understand this point as well. The convenience for the customer could present an even more impactful inconvenience for the proprietor. I think the point I failed to make in my first post is that it is all about how the situation is handled and communicated. If done correctly, I am sure the nickle becomes a non-issue.
Although I am firm believer in the "customer is always right" philosophy (except when they are wrong), I realize it takes a lot of work to run a small or medium sized business in America, and that is what America thrives on. Thanks for reminding us (me).... sometimes we (I) forget!
I know of a certain AR-15 company that is famous for treating gunshow customers like garbage. The guy behind the table was so rude he was choked at a show in Texas, after chasing down an "almost customer".
I saw a guy open an ammo box to check the ammo out and the seller YELLED and cussed at him.
I'da asked to see the business license and tax permit.
Thanks, I couldn't remeber the terminologyState of Indiana requires a posted "Registered Retail Merchants Certificate" to collect sales tax.
Was it posted on the table to NOT open boxes? I know of several very large retailers that won't let you open boxes either.Do you just walk away from Walmart,Meijer,Rural King,K-mart or Farm & Fleet?
