"I'm just outside town, so I should be there in fifteen minutes...actually, it's looking more like six days...No, wait, thirty seconds"

- ratelimitsteve 1y agothis is actually what it's like getting pants hemmed at men's wearhouse once the salespeople realize you won't be paying their rent today with the commission on a big purchase. I needed them in a week. Dude quoted me 3 weeks, then 10 days, then 8 days, then said he could get it done in 15 minutes. I get that under the hood capitalism is about charging the most you can get away with and offering the least the other guy will expect, and he's supposed to do the same and y'all strike a middle ground that makes nobody happy but is acceptable to everyone. But you're not supposed to flat out look at me and go "What's the worst you'll accept from me right now?"
