Chapter 84 <Don't worry about it>

Customer: The catty of pork I bought is not enough to weigh, half a tael! Salesperson: When I buy a watch, there is an error of 10 seconds and 20 seconds every day!It's strange that a catty of pork is less than one and a half. Customer: Is there such a metaphor? Salesperson: Comrade, don't worry about buying things! Due to the limitations of craftsmanship and production technology, it is really not surprising that there is an error of ten or twenty seconds per day for ordinary watches, because this is an unavoidable phenomenon despite the efforts of the maker.But things like selling pork are short of two catties, which is deliberately defrauding customers, because it is very easy to achieve full scale.The salesman's defense of his immorality by comparing these two situations of fundamentally different nature is pure sophistry.

In addition, saying that customers care about every detail has made the sophistry mistake of beating back.When a customer buys something that is not enough to measure and comes back to the salesperson, it is a legitimate behavior to protect his own interests, and it has nothing to do with haggling.On the contrary, people have good reason to question the salesperson: Why don't you sell people with full scale?Who cares about just wanting to take advantage of customers?
