Frank nailed it in his business plan.
Damn I want to buy something off you right now Frank!
Mister Grinder- I do think you forgot about Mister Grinder, don't you get the guys that just grind the shiz out of you relentlessly throwing down every angle at you for a better deal, I used to play along. I even gave a grinder five bucks once for gas to go shop at my competition; he came back, I knew they didn't have what he wanted. I break the rules now, after 20 years I just can't stand them anymore. I walk away and send in someone else who can't give them deal. I hate them!
I hope most people reading this thread would support the Vendors, but for sure a few of you cheap focks have made it this far in this thread ... support the damn Vendors! Good for the Karma.

Well said Dave, I am in the retail Furniture Business
www.furnitura.ca as you know and "the Grinder" are the people I cant stand the most. I used to play along as well, now I just tell them to get the #^%$ out of my store.
Jon, I understand your points 100%. I too can't stand the fact that a guy like Tyler at ATS has to close the doors.
The problem with people or the consumer is that 90% of them dont give a **** about you or your customer service. All they care about is the bottom dollar price. Those are the people that will grind you down, and take your quote elswhere only to grind somebody else lower until they find somebody desperate enough to sell to them for that price.
I can't stand those people, but must admit those are the majority of them. And then you have the loyal customer who appreciates your service. But I'd have to say there aren't very many of them.
Support the vendors guys!
