revenge of the pesky salesmen
i went to the heeren today again cuz my friend marvin wanted to shop for some stuff...we eventually ended up at the shop with the pesky salesmen again...
and i wanted revenge...
pesky indian salesman (pis): hey there, brudder! everything on this rack is $30 only!
moby: oh ok...$30...WHAT?!?! i bought this same shirt for $40 like just two weeks ago!!!
marvin: hahahahaha...
pis: err...oh ok...it's on sale this time lah, brudder...
moby: that's what your colleague told me last time!!! some more he say he gave me "special price"!!!
irritating chinese salesman (ics): which guy sold it to you ah, sir?
moby: that one lah! *points to pesky store owner (pso)*
pso: hehe. hi. *sheepish smile*
moby: *growl*
marvin: hahahahaha...
pis: anyway...which shirt did you buy ah, brudder?
moby: this one... *takes out old shirt from rack*
pis: oh ok...good choice...but i think you would look better in this one... *takes out similar looking shirt in lighter shade*
marvin: yeah, i think this would bring out the colour in your skin better...the other one makes you look old lah...
moby: wtf...
ics: come come, go and try it on lah, sir...
moby: no thanks...i already know how it fits...i'll think about it...see if your boss will give me a discount loh... *glares at pso*
pso: hehe.
marvin: eh...what you think of this one ah? *pulls out not bad shirt*
moby: not bad.
pis: wow!!! that would really look great on you, brudder!!! try it on, try it on!
moby: here we go again...
*marvin tries on shirt in changing room...moby waits outside*
pis: how about some jeans for you, brudder?
moby: hmmm... *moby thinks about the torn up jeans that he's wearing now...yeah, the one with holes behind where his boxers can be seen*
pis: they're really cheap you know...$60 only lah, brudder...
moby: see how lah...maybe i'll try on the shirt just to be sure that it fits...
*moby enters changing room to try on shirt*
ics: hey, try this on lah sir... *throws a pair of jeans at moby...*
moby: err...ok loh...
ics: and make sure you wear your shoes when you come out...they really match those jeans lah, sir...
moby: wah lan eh...relak lah...
*moby steps out of changing room*
pis: fwah!!! lookin' good, brudder!!!
pso: yeah man! don't even need to alter already! no one's ever come in and had such a nice fit before...
ics: woo hoo! like that tomorrow can straightaway go out and get the charbos already! one full suit lah sir!!!
moby: knn...deja vu...
the second shirt
the jeans
another lesson in salesmanship...work in numbers...i'm gonna bring my colleagues with me the next time i'm close to closing some big deal. hehe.
but i did manage to pull off one last stunt that my customers always use on me before i left the shop...
moby: eh...hello...got discount or not?
pso: err...ok ok...let me see...i give you the jeans at $55...then the shirt i give you at $28...like that $83 ok?
moby: $80 flat.
pso: no lah...cannot lah...i'm down to my bare minimum already lah...
moby: ooi...i bought the other shirt from you last time for $40 leh...that's an extra $10 that i gave you previously hor...
pso: err...cannot lah...
moby: some more my friend is also buying the shirt from you...i know you can discount one loh...
pso: ok lah...for you only man...$80...
moby: cool. =)
i love going to the heeren. it's better than any sales training i've ever attended. haha.

i like to read all your dialogues, they're very funny!
nice shirt!
I have a feeling I know which shop you are talking about. It's the one on the 4th level selling guys' stuff, next to the NUM shop selling Haviannas right? :)
HAHA... moby, u are a easy customer to target. I like these kind of customer.
Need a bit of sale talk n u will give in. haha..
Hey u should bargain to $75 i/o $80, then u can negotiate for a better price. Hehe...
Anyway nice buy..
and your stunt is.... cutting $3.... -_-'''
The bloggin world is abit new to an old fart like me. I started readin yrs two days back. And is totally won over by yr witty & sentimental. So much so tat silly me change my MSN nick to: Cowboy Caleb or Mobydicksky? this morning at office:P Sometimes U guys really made me wanna ditch my job as a graphic designer and be a full time blogger one day. Tsk....possible or not? BTW, great smile U have indeed! I guess I can relate to U cos we have the same small one liner eyes which looked like a smily siamese cat’s eyes when we are happy. Ha!
Just what you needed to chase away the blues... retail therapy.
i didn't know u can bargain at places like heeren!! coolness! i shall try that next time.. hopefully i don't get shot or something..:S
Once again, I can't believe you fell for the salesman's tactic. Tsk tsk. You very weak leh.
Tee hee hee.
Nice shirt and jeans though !
