The Definition of a BOOSTER!!!!!!!!

Yesterday April 25th was take your child to work day. Being self employed its not unusual  for at lest one of my kids to be at the shop at any particular given time. In fact most of my regular customers have met at least one of my 8 children. Donnie decided to take the day off and come to the shop with me. Heck it was an excused absence and what child isn't going to take advantage if that. The day started out normal, when I got to the shop I did the normal opening chores. But today I made Donnie do them and I get a text from my buddy and fellow Latonia business owner Mic letting me know that he is ordering Guisippe's today so come to his pub for lunch. Seems normal enough right. I'm working on a regular client Swiggle's and end walks a BOOSTER.....What is a BOOSTER...you might ask? A BOOSTER is a person that acquires things and sells them. What kind of things do they sell? Well that varies, let's see I've seen expired bake goods that have been thrown out by the bakery. I've seen meat probably purchased with an EBT card and sold for 1/3 of the worth because to most BOOSTERS cash is more important than food. I've seen watches, perfume, bed sheets, underwear, jewelry, tools, clothing etc. I hope your seeing the mental picture I'm trying to paint. Well the BOOSTER walks in the shop and today's item happen to be Cascade dish washer powder and Tide soap powder. Not the cheap stuff either the 4 X concentrated pods. The newest, latest, greatest invention that have made cleaning your dishes and clothes easier. When ever approached by a BOOSTER before I start to negotiate with them. I always ask......"How did you acquire these goods" Her answer today was my brother works for such and such and his job is such and such. I need to get rid of all 10 x32 count Cascade bags and 10x 32 count Tide bags because I need to get a prescription filled......RIGHT!!!!!! LOL At this point I have a few things going on in my mind. 1st this is her lie to tell and believe, 2nd that's like a year supply of Cascade and Tide for a family of 8, 3rd someone else is going to buy this so I atleast need to make an offer. When dealing with BOOSTER you have to approach things very carefully. You first need to find out the price they need and then offer them half Which I did..... She said 40 I said 20 She said 30 I said 25 She said deal.........And just like that I had a year supply of Tide and Cascade....All this was happening while my 13 year old son Donnie was watching.... I honestly forgot that he was there because he was being so quiet..... When she walked out, Donnie looked at me and said....... "She would have taken 20" LOL
