Преамбула.
Загальновідомо, що багаті люди, як правило - жадібні до неймовірности. Хорошу ілюстрацію цієї тези можна ув язику проглянути тут, але кожен може підтвердити її і з власного досвіду спілкування з оточуючими дядечками Скруджами різного ступеня.
Якщо цей досвід, звичайно - є...
Ув житті жеж простих смертних, жаба - теж відіграє певну роль.
Часом, цілком анекдотичну,
Амбула.
Ув рамках підготовки до сеансу викладацької роботи (треба жеж, кінець-кінцем покласти ту плитку на кухні) знайшов іскомоє на Амазоні.
Правда, продає його інша фірма, назвемо її для зручності - Адоба.
Але, - через Амазон.
Тоє-сєє - замовив і купив взірці.
Із взірцями Адоба прислала два скидкові купони: 5%, якщо купуєш на тому ж таки Амазоні і 10%, якщо купуєш напряму від Адоби.
Коротше, дякуючи моїй жабі а, також, поліваріантности ощєпонятрої мови і деяких моїх логічних закидонів, отримав:
-5% від Амазону, ще -5% - від Адоби, 0% такси і безкоштовну доставку на другий день.
На додаток, уся моя англомовна контора дико ржала над моєю з Адобою перепискою.


Штунда - Адобі:
Good morning gentlemen,
It looks like I've gotten my 5% off; now I'd like to get another 10%.
The Claim Code is: ADOB10OFF
Thank you,
S*****

Адоба - Штунді:
Hi S****,
Actually, your order is not eligible for any additional discounts. You've already gotten the 5" off. At this point, no additional discounts can be honored.
Your order will be shipped very soon.
We appreciate your business and apologize for the inconvenience.
Regards,
Adobe Pipe & Supply


Штунда - Адобі:
Hello,
You've sent me TWO coupons with my samples order along with the business cards of Mr.S*****, Sales and Mr.C*****, President (please, see attachment).
The first coupon ADOB5OFF I've applied at the Amazon's checkout.
But you are offering also the SECOND one that says: "Call us directly (or email us) and mention the Claim Code below to get ANOTHER 10% off of your entire purchase", what, actually, I did.
In my point of view, ANOTHER means ONE MORE, and it is the reason, why I'm claiming it.
Thank you for understanding and have a great day,
S*****.

Адоба - Штунді:
S*****,
You did not order directly from us. You went through amazon. And on amazon, you got the maximum discount we could have given you.
If you had called us and placed the order over the phone, then you could have gotten the 10%. But, in your case, you did not do this. You directly ordered over the internet.
Besides, the discounts can only apply to the full-priced items. Everything you buy is already on sale. Plus, we even waived your sales taxes on all your purchases. We paid the sales taxes for you. That's already an additional 7.75% So basically, you've gotten much deeper discounts than you should have really gotten.
Hope this makes sense.
Thank you,
Adobe Pipe & Supply


Штунда - Адобі:
Pardon my English, gentlemen,
But as for me ANOTHER means ONE MORE.
And it states clearly in the your ad.
To avoid its incorrect understanding by the stupid or illiterate people like me, why you did not put a simple word OR between those two coupons?
It will be more fair from your side.
Best regards,
S*****.

Адоба - Штунді:
S*****,
No one is offending you in any way, you do not have to call yourself illiterate or stupid. There's no need for this.
As we've explained to you earlier, even your savings on the sales tax alone gave you more than what you could have received, even if you had called us. So, at the end of the day, you still saved more and in fact, you saved the most. We do not understand why you are not being happy even though we provided the deepest discounts for you.
Please remember that what you are getting are very nice and unique tiles. And you are getting them at a super low price. Please know that you are dealing with the correct people here. We can guarantee you that these items cannot be bought for less than what you are buying them for. So, please have peace of mind in that respect.
And yes, we'll definitely take your advise in consideration and make sure to correct the wording on our ads next time.
Thank you,
Adobe Pipe & Supply


Штунда - Адобі:
Gentlemen,
It is not a question of my happiness or unhappiness. And I do not dispute your prices and/or tax waiver.
When I was doing my calculations before the ordering, they were based on the information that you've provided to me. And now your actual price does not match to what I've expected.
Now I'm filling OR ripped off, OR illiterate in Math, OR illiterate in English. And just this fact makes me unhappy and put me to cognitive dissonance, not your prices.
BTW, a lot of resellers make double, triple and even more discounts on the single sale products. Here is one more issue that I had not seen anything unusual in your double offer.
All the best,
S*****

Адоба - Штунді:
S*****,
It looks like no matter how hard we try, you'll not be wanting to see where we are coming from.
Even though it's not fair to us in any way (on top of the sales tax discount we already gave you), we'll go ahead and give you another 5% to you. This is completely against our policies and should not be happening in any way but, just so that you do not feel ripped off or anything like, we'll give you another 5%, it's not a big deal.
You'll see this under your amazon account.
What matters is your satisfaction. Even though we'll give you an unheard amount of discounts, we'll still make it work for you and give you what you are actually asking for.
BTW, those resellers that you are referring to are not selling the extremely unique, natural stone products, delivered to your door with free shipping & sales taxes. Those sellers' prices are already overly inflated. What they are actually offering is not even discounted, even after their triple-discounts. In our case, the situation is completely different. What we offer cannot be located anywhere. And noone can provide the kind of service we provide. We literally ship our orders almost in 1 hour of us getting them. And in your case, you'd get your order the very next business day. So, a little bit of appreciation would be appreciated. Please keep all these realities in mind when you make your comparisons.
Thank you,
Adobe Pipe & Supply


Штунда - Адобі:
Gentlemen,
What is a such pleasure to have a business with the such understanding people.
Thank you for additional discount that was gifted to me, even trough breaking your own rules.
Sorry for my greed, but now I'm filling much better. Even my cognitive dissonance is passing away, in spite of it is just a twenty-bucks amount.
Also, I got a good lesson in the improving of my English language skill, it is so important for the first generation immigrant. I really appreciate this, too.
Finally, I'm still hoping to get an Amazon's gift card from you at the time, when I'll be done with my project. I have had no doubt about your product's quality and it is a reason, why I'm ordering it from The ADOBE Company. Now, I've no doubt about your great business attitude. On my side if everything will be as it is expected, I promise to live a five-star's feedback for your company on the Amazon's site.
Have a great day and my best wishes to all of you.
Respectfully,
S*****,
Your valued customer.
