A small business owner behind Vinas Creations is getting attention online after delivering a blunt message to customers who bring another business\u2019s prices into her establishment while attempting to negotiate. In a video shared online, the entrepreneur said she considers the practice disrespectful, particularly when customers tell her they received the same or a similar service elsewhere for a lower price and expect her to match it. \u201cSome of all are very disrespectful outside here,\u201d she said. \u201cAll you want to come and bring other people price to another business place. And that is not nice.\u201d She made it clear that customers are free to choose whichever business offers the price they prefer, but said another company\u2019s pricing should not be used to determine what she charges for her own work. \u201cIf you have to come to me and you’re bringing another person price and telling me, \u2018Oh, I pay for that down the road and that is how much I pay for it,\u2019 and you’re coming by me with that person price down the road, carry it back down the road,\u201d she said. The business owner repeated the message several times, stressing that entrepreneurs determine their prices based on their own expenses, labour and operations. She also suggested that some customers may not fully understand the pressures involved in operating a small business until they experience it themselves. \u201cUntil you get a business of your own and start to do it, then you all will know how disrespectful you all are,\u201d she said. Her message was straightforward: customers can compare prices and shop wherever they choose, but should not expect one independent business to automatically honour another business\u2019s rate. \u201cWherever you get your price, carry it back there. It’s simple as that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
