Joke at the flower store: Lie without blinking the eyes


A woman was rushing into the flower store today. Now, she has the look for buying flowers. There, following me to the 2nd floor to see more flowers while she keeps on telling me the relationship between her boss with the boss of the flower store. VERY close relationship.

In order not to displease my boss, ive chosen high class orchids for her. Well, guess what happened?

She tries to cut the price by near 50%. Of course i cant give her that price, therefore, i let the store's owner know about this. Even at the very last negotiation, she even said this,

"HUH, i know how to arrange flowers. This stuff u selling me is easy to make".

There, she goes out from the store and went to the nearby store to try her luck.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

The real story:
1st: The owner doesnt even know who the heck is her boss. No such relationship.
2nd: Ive calculated, even with 30% discount off from the product is very sufficient. The price has not been marked up high.
3rd: If she knows how to make flower arrangement, she is FREE to make one and sell it in higher price to her boss! (coz many of the i have always buy from me and sell it for 15% higher price than the original price i set).

Dont always believe what u hear
