Not a shop owner, but I've worked in retail for a while. I feel your pain.

i’ve never worked in retail myself tho i have worked in food service, BUT i have so many friends in retail who have customers being awful about coupons and just like....god’s speed to you friend

idk about other stuff, but when i sell my sculptures i always get "hey like. sorry but can i get a discount i could make this thing myself" THEN MAKE IT YOURSELF, GOBLIN

omg the make it myself thing is the WORST. i have gotten that w/ some of my handmade items and i see it a lot when i post things on here like--people reblogging handmade items saying shit like “$20??? i could make this myself” and it’s just like well....then shut up and do it? you don’t have to tell the artist and be a huge jackass? but then like ppl having the nerve to say stuff like that to your face and then expect you to give them a discount for them being a jackass to you???? oh my god

ALSO DISCOUNT GOBLIN IS NOW GONNA BE MY OFFICIAL TERM FOR THIS PHENOMENON THANK YOU

All the time, especially when they're asking for something with a custom design.

but.....don’t custom orders typically cost more? what is people’s damage holy shit

ive never had troubles with selling physical stuff but people love asking for discounts on like, commissioned art?? also, a guy tried to pay me in peaches once, like over the internet????

i’ve also never had people ask me for discounts in person but idk why you’d ask someone online or what really makes it different? it’d be one thing if i was like, selling things at a yard sale or a flea market where people are more prone to haggle or something but....nah

i’ve NEVER had someone ask me for a discount on commissions or freelance jobs i would be real grump about it. i mean like maybe family has done this to me but even then they just expect me to do it for free lmao. ALSO the peaches just?? was he going to ship them to you? oh my god

I sell vintage clothing and Y E P all the damn time. The answer is no. Wait for a sale or pay the full price

i ALSO get people asking me when i’m going to have a sale next and it’s like.....wtf? i haven’t had the ability to have one yet and i have no idea when i will have one but i already keep my profit margins pretty close to as low as possible so it’s like why would you ever....have the balls to ask this....

and like do folks just think they are special and that like. i will give them stuff for cheaper out of admiration of their RAW GUMPTION or what lmao

For my art shop, yes. People always think artists want to work for free for some "exposure." It's so annoying. For my jewelry shop, never.

Thank you so much for asking! I haven’t really had chance to reply since I’ve been on mobile/blogging on mobile. I hope you can understand. 

6. How do you look right now?

I look pretty tired! I’m currently wearing a face mask right now too. ;u;

19. If you could change your eye colour, would you?

I don’t think so! I’ve grown to love my eye colour recently.  

20. Name something you have to do tomorrow?

I have to go a Doctors appointment + finish reading a few books. 

35. Did you have a dream last night?

I don’t think so. 

40. Did you have a good day yesterday?

I did! I went to  a local music festival with a friend and went to look around shops. It was fun!
