My point in asking my question is that is that it is so absurd that I can't even think of another situation in America where the salesman gets to raise their price when the customer offends them. Please explain why a coin dealer is so much more special then any other occupation in America that they can behave this way when no other person selling <b>anything</b> does this. A car salesman would be fired instantly if their boss saw them initionally blow a sale because they were offended by their customer.
