Interesting thread with so many cute ideas. Here is another twist to throw in the mix.

One should be aware of the "pricing guidelines" that are an integral part of any number of business policies.

These pricing guidelines allow the sales person(insert your favorite repair person) to adjust invoices as needed.

Part of the reason is obvious from this thread, and that also likely gains your favor with said company for other business, both referral and repeat.

Now I can finish rolling on the floor laughing!!

Are you suggesting that the discount would've been forthcoming anyway? That no amount of eye lash batting and stretching and bending over the hood / sink / tv makes any material difference? That you could walk around nude, offer a B J and make a nice bacon sandwich and the price is the price is the price?

That is interesting.


......................and funny, my god it's funny.

Glad I never did it all then.

Or it could go the other way. You'd have to pay the "cable guy" more than the original bill said

You are getting the idea here, and you may or may not, depends on many factors aside from cleavage, or other things. Some people have a nasty attitude with customer service people, regardless of in the home or at the store.

Have you ever heard the saying about the price being dependant upon ones attitude?? This can go the other way as well, and one can be charged "the standard rates for services rendered" along with many other small items or fees.

Nice!

Did you discuss who pays?
Does he own a cow?
No texting!
Use only the salad fork while eating?
Don't drink any drinks with more than six ice cubes!
If your not interested . just give him the "Fonzi" thumbs ups when exiting the bar!
Did I miss any important rules?

Add: btw since you're a group admin now..You have to be home by eleven to start a thread on it! lol
