Woogieman's and Olivier's stories are exactly why I think we should have a place to report names of "customers from hell." I had another one this past weekend--middle aged couple decided they'd like a puppy. The woman immediately dropped one of my pups on the floor--from a full standing position. Puppy was stunned and screaming for a few seconds then recovered, but this was the biggest fall I've ever seen one take. They then wasted another two hours of my time asking over and over again to see the parents, kept asking the prices--there were only three puppies, three prices, and still they kept forgetting. The concept of limited AKC registration just never did sink in with them. Now these were well spoken, smartly dressed people who showed up in a big Mercedes sedan. They left saying they'd call back later, which they did, again asking the prices, to which I responded that we had decided not to sell the puppies after all. This is driving me freaking nuts lately!!! |
