“You Can Go Fuck Yourself”

This is basically what a customer told me today.  He wanted the world from me and I simply could not justify giving him what he was asking for. Small-time hot dog stand owner on Chicago’s south side.  Been loyal to us over the last few years.  So I thought long and hard last night about how I could help this guy, within reason of course, and still keep him happy.  Apparently he took my offer as a slap in the face and said “Billy, it has been a pleasure doing business with you” and then abruptly hung up the phone.

You win some you lose some.  But I refuse to bastardize the Chicago market.
