I work at a Christmas tree store and customers always use the most bizarre excuses to try and get discounts
A MAN who works on a farm selling Christmas trees has revealed the annoying things customers always do.
George Lipps has had so many difficult interactions with customers that he now documents the most common ones on TikTok.
In one such video, George revealed that people use the most ridiculous excuses to try and get a discount on their tree.
In the second video of his series, George re-enact some of the common conversations he has with customers, and the video soon went viral with over 700k views.
He captioned the post: “Since the first one blew up thought I’d make another. Again, I love people.”
A customer first tells George exactly what tree they want saying: “Hello, I’d like to buy a 5ft Nord please.”
George then tells the customer it costs £45 – but the customer has other ideas.
They said: “Oh really? I went to somewhere else and it was £30.”
Instead of matching the price, George responded with ‘right’.
In another interaction, an excited customer informed George they had travelled 15 miles to get a tree from his farm.
George told them it was very nice of them to do so, but of course the customer was expecting a bit more than pleasant words for their long travel.
They replied: “So, do we get a discount then?” George gave an honest ‘no’ as his response.
Another customer asked when the Christmas store opened and the Christmas tree seller revealed they had been open since the 28th of November.
But this wasn’t good enough as the customer said they had got there for the 1st of November to pick theirs up.
George of course, informed them that no one sells real trees that early.
Other customers have asked George if they can put their child through the Christmas tree netting machine even though they don’t plan on buying anything.
The comical video left many people in hysterics, one wrote: “You absolutely nail how ridiculously entitled people can be.”
A second person commented: ““I went somewhere else & it was 30” why do they always do this? We’re not haggling. This is the price. Like if you found it cheaper just go there.”
A third added: “I’ve been absolutely crying at these, you are hilarious.”
Meanwhile, a fourth penned: “15 miles isn’t even that far.”
