Cheapest? Sure that is what you want?

Ok, I know, I know...the customer is always right.  Yeah bullshit.  If the
customer was always right, they wouldn't need experts. 

You know, we are the ones with the dirty hands.  We keep the world
working.  Lemme see - there is the fellow who keeps your car running
correctly, the guy who installed your cable/dish, whatever makes your
TV work, the folks who make sure that your roof doesn't leak, (<-----this
is REALLY hard dirty work), the guys who build/repair your house, the
plumbers, electricians and HVAC guys who make the house livable. 

So here is my question - Do you want the cheapest expert?  Really?
The cheapest?  When you call the business, do you tell them that
you are calling to find the cheapest worker?  If so, I hope you get the
cheapest.  

They are probably grifters.

And I hope you get just exactly what you pay for. 

I'll probably step in sh*t here, but after you have told me that you want
the cheapest possible product, be sure to tell me how important you
are, what your title is and just how many hoops I have to jump through
in order to sell you the cheapest possible product.  Be sure to insist
on personal care and perfect matches.

And by all means, when I come to your house to measure, and see
that you have never made a purchase from my company and in fact
have bought cheap shit before, then tell me that you were a big buddy
of my deceased parent.  

ARGGGGG!  I know that in some cultures bartering and bargaining is
normal, but you really make me feel like hanging up on you when you
continually repeat how expensive my prices are.  Please do understand
that this tactic only makes me want to charge MORE!

I wish I knew the answer here...  Oh well.  Have a fine weekend all!

    You're right, you get what you pay for. That's why most products now are made from plastic. I'm also tired of trying to fix an assembly, only to find out the only fix is to replace the whole thing. It's not what it used to be like, that's for sure.
