Brilliant! Tell the customer who is trying to buy one that "no one wants those". HAR! I would have said, angrily, "Are you telling me that I'm no one? That I'm nobody? That your store has no use for me or my money? That I shouldn't even bother talking to you about the other dozen things I'd like to buy today because I'm inferior to you?" I told a sales drone at Vistek something like that, when I called to inquire about a Limited lens price and he said, "Pentax? Who uses that junk?" I asked him to look up my account, as I had spent $10,000 there the week before (computer/monitor/scanners), and then asked to speak to someone else, so that I could avoid giving him even a single cent in commission. -Aaron - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
