I Have A Dilemma
 

I have a pop chat that delivers pop to the door. He has just put his prizes up to £3.50 for six bottles of pop, not extortionate I know, but I can get double that amount of pop in the Asda for the same money. I know it sounds silly but I feel like I'm only buying it from him out of pity. Should I save money by getting my pop at the Asda or do I keep getting the pop from the chap to help towards keeping a small business man in business

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

Buy at the Asda thats what I say. You many feel loyalty to the pop man, but at the end of the day if it saves you money then all the better for you.
Plus is he really wanted to keep your custom then he would revert his prices.

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

Two things you can do my fairy friend.

1. Decide which you prefer in terms of taste and quality of product and go with it.
2. Start going the door in your dressing gown?

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

lf he's dishy, buy the pop at the supermarket, but still stay in touch by regularly asking him in for one.

[ l mean a glass of Dandylion and Burdock!]

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

Thanks for your input G78 I do feel a sense of loyalty to him because he has been my pop chap for about 2 years. I also think if everybody thought the same way as me he wouldn't have much of a business left which makes me feel guilty :(

Oh dear, trust little garinda to bring down the tone :P

:rofl38: That's him Janet, see how can I resist a smile like that !!!

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

Don't wear anything then!!!! I bet you don't get more than ten bob knocked off the price..:D

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

I haven't had a pop chap for years. I'd consider the quality and convenience as well as the cost. £3.50 isn't expensive for six bottles of good pop. What about the ingredients? Some of the cheapest pop is full of chemical junk. (Mind you so is some of the more expensive)

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

would the pop chap feel guilty if you were hard up and couldn't afford it?its a shame for small buisnesses,but if the supermarket quality is good and cheaper its no contest.

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

Weigh up the odds, is it worth all the hassle of carting things around.
Do you need the trouble?
Which is the better quality.

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

Ask him to give you 7 bottles for the price of 6 or at least to match Asda's prices, at least then he has the option as to whether he keeps your custom or not.

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

Tell him what you are thinking and explain the situation you find yourself in. Maybe he will reduce the price or throw a little extra in free.

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

go to aldi its even cheaper :D

not a big fizzy drink drinker any more that crap rots your insides

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

I agree, tell him what your options are and see if he can get close to the price. Then consider what the quality is. If he can get close on price but is better quality then go with him. Much that I agree with helping local business's there is a certain commerciality that comes into effect. Particularly in today world

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

That is absolutely right, some of these so-called local businesses thrive on people who like to support them and consequently rip them off.

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

:thumbsup: Thanks people I will have a chat with him on Tuesday see what he says

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

LET US ALL KNOW HIS REACTION !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

The pop chap buys from the Asda then fills his own bottles and charges you double, then he gets ladies answering their doors in dressing gowns when he delivers, sounds like he knows what he's doing to me.

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

I am you pop man and we will be having an interesting conversation on tuesday.

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

dont blow it

so far you got her naked at the door asking questions about pop ( if she goes with dougs idea )

hell ille answer questions about nucular physics if the chick asking them was naked :D

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

You've not seen her mate :eek:. I will give her 8 bottles as long as she keeps herself fully covered at the door.

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

i think we may soon find out if a pop bottle realy can fit where asdas wont lol :eek:

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

I was thinking along the same lines as bagpuss.

Beaten to it again (and by a cat!!!)

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

I'll be seeing how many pop bottles I can fit up Neil's backside sideways, if he dares to be so cheeky again :p

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

Mpeg?

Go on, you know it makes sense
:)

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

What sort of pop does this pop chap deliver anyway?





.

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

1 litre glass bottles, loads of different flavours from normal cola to strawberry water but yes it is the chemical stuff.

Re: I Have A Dilemma
 

Not good for you all that Chemical Stuff. Makes you go funny.

Re: I Have A Dilemma
