Re: Henry's Camera very annoying

But, honestly, it's hard to blame the poor schmuck behind the counter (and I 
know you're not, Tom).  These kids are working at jobs that pay minimum wage 
at best.  They really rely on commissions and other incentives to pay the 
rent, as it were.

If selling a Canon puts twice the amount of cash in the kid's pocket as the 
Pentax, he's going to push the Canon every time.  I know, "selling the 
customer what he asks for is better than no commission at all", but it's 
easy to be short-sighted when that much money's on the line.

regards,
frank

Also, stupid, selling the customer what he wants pays better than selling 
him nothing. But when I worked in retailing I noticed that brains didn't 
not seem to be a requirement. That unfortunately applied double to 
management. They always seem to come from the school of do what you are 
told, and not the school of do what works.
