The nerve of some businesses
I ordered 3 lengths of rollbar padding and a roll of sound deadening from them (about $60) and got a free hat!i ordered over $2500 from summit once and didn't get nothin. the next week my dad orders a engine cradle from them and gets a free hat!!! WTF
That is the one of the reasons I got out of retail...and one of the main reasons I refuse to work the front counter at work. People think because they feel that they are spending a lot of money, they deserve a discount.
Honestly, I don't think anybody who is ready to drop $3k deserves a discount. I think discounts should be reserved for those who actually need it. Forget about the guy who wants to spend $3k restoring his car, I would rather give a discount to the guy who needs to replace his water pump in his daily driver so he can get to his mid-level job and pay his bills.
I don't know what planet you guys are from or what kind of super high paying jobs you have, but to us normal Earth folks, $3000 is a lot of money. Regardless of whether he should have or should not have received a discount isn't up to us, it's up to the company. People love to run their mouths about how much they paid for something because they think it's a status symbol. **** thhaaatttt.
If a company thinks my $3000 isn't "worth their time" then forget it, I'll spend my money else where. I spent several thousands of dollars at Summit and received king like treatment while I was there. That doesn't make me any better than the next guy spending ten dollars.
For you guys that brag about " I spent this" or "I spent that" and didn't get a discount... that sucks for you cause you might have gotten one if you asked for one. MOST companies won't discount unless asked to... DUH? So ask, if they say no, DAMN YOU DIDN'T GET A DISCOUNT... but if you had gotten one you would be happy. Like another thread said, there's a lot of glass houses on this forum.
It's either you guys are too young to realize or just too stupid!
I ended up getting the right person on the phone and spent $2,800. AFTER my 10% PLUS FREE SHIPPING.
You all need to learn from the master!!!!! to ME!
It is one thing to ask for a discount, it is another to ask, call back 3 times like the poster said (basically refusing to talk to the company until they discounted stuff for him) and then posting about the company online because they wont sell their parts cheaper then they list.
I have no issues with him asking, after all if you don't ask you never know, but to come on here and complain about the company asking what the deal is...
Thats where the issue lies!
