Monthly Survey & Discussion

Vote results are anonymous. We are talking about average deposit amount, for retail sales.

What statement do you use to "close the sale" and ask for the deposit/payment?

Discussion and opinions are welcomed for this important topic.

Grumble surveys are purely for entertainment value, and to stimulate healthy/friendly discussion. Since the results only represent a relatively small group of participants, use them cautiously.
