Adventures in Selling

Yay for customers who repeat the same question over and over and over.

I just sold a pin to a lady. She is lucky she bought it or I might have shoved it up her ass. The pin was a really pretty art nouveau style with clear and dark gray Austrian crystals. It was priced at $9.50. Not bank breaker by any means. My customer liked the pin, but she doesn't like buying things unless they look real. If this pin was real, it would have cost at least $250000.00, and would have been made from white and smokey gray diamonds, and platinum. She wanted to know what stone the gray crystals would be if they were real. "What is that stone? What is that stone?" She just kept repeating that over and over until I was biting my cheeks to keep myself from saying something I shouldn't. So instead I kept trying to explain that they are Austrian crystals, which are made in a plethora of colors spanning the spectrum. They aren't supposed to be mimicking a nicer stone such as emeralds or rubies. "But what is that stone? What stone would it be if it was real? What is that stone?"

Why do people ask me questions if they are not going to listen to my answer? And then why keep repeating it?? Were they dropped on their heads as children? What is going on?
