If you like dimmies get down the Famished Wolf Macbeth Street, Braeside, and try their loaded dimmies

Thats not far for Plugger, I reckon you should get a cut of the profits or free dimmies for life.

Can't complain about this thread. It always delivers what it promises; random discussion.

Here's my random contribution
What annoys me is fcuk knuckle customers who quickly scan emails instead of reading the whole email and then waste your time with backwards and forwards questions that you have already answered in the initial email
This was one of my latest encounters.
Customer. " how long will it take for delivery?"
Ahh OK. If you read line five of my initial email it says "delivery is approximately 3-4 days from payment of invoice"

Customer. "Great, I want to go ahead but need to know how much will the freight be?"
Ahh OK. If you read line six of the initial email, it says, "for a freight price please provide your delivery address"
At this point, I also asked him for his telephone number, which we required for the consignment note.
He replied with his address but not his telephone number.

Customer. "BTW what form of payment do you accept?"
Ohh, you mean line eight of my initial email which clearly states "We accept Visa, Mastercard, AMEX and EFT.
I must be getting old and cranky but FMD some of these people test my patience!
End of rant.

I have had the best and worst customers in the last week. One lady spent $900 and slipped me $50 cash to buy myself a drink as a present now that we are about to properly reopen. This other campaigner demanded that I give him something for half price saying I should be desperate for sales. I told him it was below wholesale so he cracked it until I gave him a $20 discount.

He told me I was getting money from the government so should make things cheaper (which I'm not). He got me to hold it for 2 days didn't turn up.....so I sold it to someone else, a few days after that and he abused me over the phone for 10 minutes saying he'd give a bad google review and call consumer affairs blah blah. I offered to get him another with in a week and haven't heard from him again. ****ing idiot.

DO you own some sort of retail business or more hopefully a chicken shop. I could easily spend $900 if it’s a chicken and dim sim shop.

Same. I've tried using bold text and yellow highlighting but the lazy customers still waste your time. Thankfully most customers are OK to deal with.

I've had similar experiences Gringo. I now tell people if they pay for the item I will hold it for them otherwise there are no guarantees.
Last week I quoted somebody $2500. They came back with, "we only have a budget of $1000. What can you do for us? I wanted to reply with "pray for you to win another $1500" but thought better of it.
Always seems that the customers you do a favour for come back to bite you on the arse somehow

I used to own a bamix shop in Malvern and some customers would come in and ask for the best deal on a $10 item that was for sale anyway. I would say the best Deal is $20 but for you today you can have it for $10. Wouldn’t get a sale but at least I felt better.

On Glenferrie road?
Pretty sure I remember that shop - and not just because the cheap proprietor wouldn’t give me a bamix for $10!

Still there now. I owned it between 95 and 998

Steamed but they aren’t bad in the air fryer either, I steam them then chuck them in the air fryer.

Ye, I know bamix is a very good item. Was just kidding. But did get things from that shop every now and then. Small world.
