[QUOTE="Vegas Vic, post: 2007444, member: 58810"]I thought I was being clear so I'll highlight my words in my post If say 5% of other salesman intentionally go out of their way it insult customers then it seems like 20-25% act in a childish way, totally nonprofessionally. Would you like an example? And here is someone else condoning this behavior [COLOR=#000000]Where else in America's economy is it appropriate or recommended to sell anything retail with the public and act in a way to "letting the customer know that what he did was an insult"? Does this happen when you go to the Toyota dealership? Does the salesman intentionally raise the price to offend you on purpose? I would love to see someone give me examples where a salesman can insult the public and it would be considered professional behavior. "Hey boss, they asked for our best price on the 2014 model and then gave me an offer under our best price so I blew him off and raised the price on him to let him know he offended me." Let me know of a sales position with the public when the boss high fives the guy instead of firing him. Look I have sold coins to dealers at multiple different shows and most of my encounters were benign. Of course if I were using the penny lady standard rule set then they were very offensive. But by my own rules I didn't have huge issues. I did have a dealer literally yell at me because I would not sell star toned ngc Morgans for ask. And many violated the holy "best price" ethic.
