This morning I'm faced with what should be a very simple situation, but isn't because I'm between a rock and a hard place. A client has a product where they pay for the amount they use it. They want to pay less, so go away and make some changes. Go back to the product provider who says they've not done enough to drop the price much, so they reduce by a token £100. I'm now stuck between annoying the client who will not view £100 as saving enough and will be pissed off, or trying to force a reduction on the other side which will piss off someone who has basically done me a favour reducing anything at all. I can't win. My average day atm consists of making calls on who to piss off least. I usually side with the client but I need some goodwill on the other side as well. I genuinely don't know how people hack doing this for 40 years. Can't you just explain to the user that the provider is only willing to make X reductions unless more changes are made? Surely they know it's not you that's deciding the size of the reduction i.e. everyone's aware you're the middle man and not the baddie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 (edited) I was just paying for some beer at the supermarket, on one of the self scan machines. I picked a bottle up, and the bottle top just flew off, spraying beer everywhere, including over the bloke next to me. Who was quite clearly Sikh. He was very understanding and accepted my spluttering red-faced apology, but damn I felt like a piece of shit.

magnkarl Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 (edited) I bought my first soft ice cream (mr whippy) while at a meeting in Southampton yesterday.

BOF Posted June 16, 2017 Moderator Share Posted June 16, 2017 Is it OK to punch a seagull in that scenario? I think I'd deck it if I could get good purchase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
