6/9/19. Asked if they would call a vendor so I could make an offer. The answer was no, my offer would be too low. Okay, fair enough, until I asked again on another item with a different vendor. The answers for refusing to call were now, " not enough people working here, the places that call have 4 or 5 people working" Well, as it turns out, I go to many places and the only place I can think of that had 4 workers was the Tobacco Barn in Asheville, all other places have one with the occasional two.

Oh, and one friend had a coffee cup and ask to put it in the trash - she refused to allow that - she said she has to take the trash home with her to dispose of - so.....where does that trash come from? ...
