I rember when I opened my first shop (actual brick and mortar type shop) - on the 2nd day a bloke walks in after standing outside for around 10 minutes. He starts to look for the most expensive items, and asks me for advice. I am looking too happy, as I can see the money in front of my eyes. He keeps going the bill is getting over a £1000,00. I can't believe my luck, 2nd day of my new business and I am about to make a nice profit in just 20 minutes. As he comes to the end he ask is it's ok for his friend to come in and starts putting the stuff in the car while we sort the payment. I said 'NO' you can pay first then I will help you load it in the car.
He pulls out a business cheque book.. I say sorry but I don't accept cheques without the guarantee card. Oh, he says this is business cheque you don't need a card - it's like cash. Again, I say sorry but no card, no sale sorry. He then tells me to call the boss - well, I reply 'I am the boss' - You can see the situation is changing every second and now he is getting pissed off with me. It was not going to his plan - he didn't think I was the boss - he thought I was some little worker - who would be so happy to phone his boss after the sale to say how good he is but only to get fired few hours later.
I make one more attempt to save the sale - so I ring my bank to ask if what he is saying is true. They ask me to provide the number on the book - bingo - the book is stolen from a local company few days before.
He can see my face has changed, and at the same point one of my friends walks into the shop (he was bigger then him, and so was I) - he goes for the exit never to be seen again....
