I am coming to the inescapable conclusion that everyone in business over here automatically assumes you are trying to screw them. My customer thinks that we are trying to screw them over the price of our goods, the exchange rate went from HK$15 to the pound to HK11.5 in 3 months!! We are not trying to screw you the exchange rate screwed you!
You give someone a price over here and they come and ask for half that amount. I am not trying to screw you that price is correct, you order lots of it maybe I will give you a small discount but never half price!
Which brings me on to my second point, why do the suppliers think I am stupid and offer me really inflated prices every single bloody time! We have been using some suppliers for 5 years and they still do this! I know your bottom price is a least 30% less than that because we work in the same industry! You know I know this I know you know that I know this, then why do I have to ask every single time for your best price?
I think I just answered my own question about why people think I am trying to screw them. It's because everybody else is.
