Two cigarettes, and the boss's mouth is only $400. The most uncomfortable part is not "valueless," but you know that you're under the price, but you can't make a more convincing argument。
This is a very typical family affair. For the first time, the daughter brought her boyfriend to the house, and the protocol was well done, with two decent packs of cigarettes in her gift. The family did not smoke, it was in charge, it was too long and it was too late, and it ended up thinking about getting a cigarette hotel downstairs and asking if it could come back in cash. The boss didn't even look at the box, took a look at the bar code and offered a price: one 200, two 400。
I don't think that's a good idea. The money came out in half a month, and the house was under pressure. But the husband was standing there, and his heart was just weird. He didn't want to leave the two cigarettes, and he didn't want to let them out, especially since he'd been here for the first time
A lot of people go through this, and the first reaction is the same: is the boss too dark。
It's quite a break. It's not all black. The gift-smoking business was not a normal one. Tobacco is an exclusive system, with formal retail rules, and the private recycling of unknown cigarettes is itself in an awkward position. For the shopkeeper, recovery is not as simple as putting a price on the counter, and he has to consider where the goods came from, whether they could do it, whether they could do it or not, whether they could cause trouble. With a high risk, the purchase price is naturally down。
More realistically, there are brands, channels, packaging costs in retail prices, such as tobacco, which are almost all cut off at the recycling chain. You think it's expensive, and the boss thinks, "can i sell it? Two people are looking at the same smoke, and the algorithm is not the same thing。
There's also a particularly zealous point, and many people are unaware. It's not just the smoke itself that really determines the price, it's your rush. The more you want to cash it, the easier you get pinched. By looking at the bar code, the owner can basically judge whether the smoke is good or not, how much profit is available and whether there is a risk of pressure. As a matter of fact, many recovery prices are not “assessed”, but “tried”. And as soon as you hesitate, he will know that you do not understand the manners; and as soon as you hurry, he will know that you do not want to run away. Often, the last to lose is not bad things, but asymmetric information。
That is why many people have to admit that they do not have much room for bargaining while calling their bosses hard. It's a gift that ordinary people have at their homes, and they usually don't have time to study the market. The first thought in their minds is that they're still free, and money is better than bad. But that's the problem, the more you feel, "that's all it is," the more vulnerable you are in small places. It is often this “no value for money” mentality that allows people to earn more when they see less。
The most interesting thing about this is that it's not the boss's price, it's not the wife's rush, it's the two of them who stand on the spot。
One thought is to put the bag in peace, so that nothing can be lost; one thought is that the gift was delivered for the first time at the door, and it cannot be disposed of in such a light manner, at least to figure out whether or not it was a loss. The former are more like those who live, and the latter are more like those in whose hearts is the scales. It looks like it's all settled, but it's not the same thing in the bones about “cheap” and “decent”。
In some cases, ordinary families are the most vulnerable to loss, not as a major expense, but as hand-held in such small places. If you're in trouble, others will decide for you; if you're in trouble, others will help you put the price down. The gift smoke is only an example, with idle wine, tea, shopping cards, and agings, which often cannot escape. You think you're dealing with something that's useless, and you're actually taking something you're not familiar with in exchange for someone else's skills。
So it's a direct reminder: don't rush in when you're faced with such idle gifts. Ask a few more people, read more about it, even if it's the end of it, and know exactly what they're selling. It's not for the dozens of dollars, it's not for you to leave something you could have left behind without knowing it. Living a life is not a matter of big things, but of small things that seem to be the easiest to block。
