I had a freshly minted lawyer come in,black suit, red tie,with a black overcoat; Yet not quite ready to shave every day. The guy is looking to frame his new law school and state bar diplomas (2) and right off the get go he asks for a quantity discount after consulting on mats, moulding, etc.
I politely explained that we only give quantity discounts on 5 or more pcs but I would happily give him our sale price that we've been doing the past couple weeks (50 % off the frame only).
You would think I slapped him based on his reaction of "thats the best you can do?" Now I'm a pretty patient man, but this guy was able to get the short hairs standing on the back of my neck. I kindly said yes, thats our sale price.
He then says, "oh com'on, you must make a killing in this business." That did it.
I gracefully let him know about the deep-discount framer about 3 miles from here if he needed it done for less than I could provide for him. No, he wanted to pick out cheaper things here. So we picked out a cheap black moulding with no mats,I gave him the price to which he agreed to and then asked when they will be ready. I said 7-10 days.
He grabbed his diplomas and said "thats ridiculous" and walked out.I smiled.
I can almost garantee this guy will be successful in his new found career as an ambulance chaser, but I'll be able to sleep at night knowing that the work I do brings me joy and peace of mind.
Anyone have good lawyer jokes?
