Not to mention your time to go to the bank to deposit her check.<br />It's hard when people don't get it, but the ones that do are really such a joy. We need to focus on them, they love us as much as we love them.Lori Buffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00233955188892423314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116910306520528915.post-83316617829766699842013-01-20T21:26:16.076-05:002013-01-20T21:26:16.076-05:00I think sometimes folks are wanting to ask for a d...I think sometimes folks are wanting to ask for a discount but don't know how to phrase it. Gary was selling a few of my experimental mugs at the local market some time ago. A woman asked if he would take 1/4 below what it was priced. Gary said no but she could get a mug for less at some local stores and she said, "but I can't get a mug like that (mine) anywhere else". Gary said that's true and explained each mug was made by hand by his wife one at a time and not from a mold in a factory, still she didn't buy one, they all sold to others that day though.Linda Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364078667554676592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116910306520528915.post-39011377046997610712013-01-20T18:58:13.277-05:002013-01-20T18:58:13.277-05:00Meredith, you are so right!

I lived in NH up until 2 years ago, where there was no sales tax... we paid our taxes via REALLY high property tax... you couldn't haggle with the tax collector over that (most times). I am always taken aback when people ask about not paying the sales tax... we are a business, really we are, we have to collect the tax.Michèle Hastingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346907762804197879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116910306520528915.post-39684537925890925532013-01-20T18:56:01.667-05:002013-01-20T18:56:01.667-05:00we work so hard....get paid so modestly....but we ...we work so hard....get paid so modestly....but we are COOL, so fuk 'em all :)Gary's third pottery bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517401528128108791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3116910306520528915.post-44216610952203191952013-01-20T17:51:06.016-05:002013-01-20T17:51:06.016-05:00We don't charge tax we collect tax for the sta...We don't charge tax we collect tax for the state of NC.
