That's a classic Jedi! Good for you.

I don't envy anyone who has to deal with Joe (Joanne) Public. I've witnessed many probably smart people just being plain dumb or worse.

I used to manage a Feed and Grain Department. I had a few customers accuse me of raising the prices of grain. I'd tell them and even show them that the prices were dictated by the Feed Company. They supplied a weekly sheet with the price of each type of feed.

These guys (it was always the guys), would get downright rude to me for adding another penny or 2 to the 100 pound bags of grain they needed. I'd merely tell them they could go down the road to another grain store for their feed. We both knew they charged 5% more for the same feed.

Funny thing is that they never thanked me when the prices started dropping on their grain!
