I own a very new, very small business selling underboob sweat protectors.
This morning I posted an offer on my page. It wasn’t a big offer but it was a saving. We’re talking a £1 saving here. Trust me, that’s important information.
I get a comment on my offer: “if you can afford to post offers like that, why don’t you just drop your prices? 🙄”
I’m horrified. I don’t understand what the motivation was behind it… I don’t think my prices are unreasonable at all and I’m not sure why someone would say that?
Welcome to retail 🤷♂️
Anybody who has contact with the public will get abused.
You’ve had a minor annoyance at best. Wait until you get the psychos that spend hours writing bad reviews because ‘they can’. Then you have to spend hours proving they’ve created duplicate accounts just to bad mouth you. Or the ones that turn up at your doorstep.
You’ll try to fight them initially but after a while it becomes about reputation control and you have to let a lot of bad behaviour slide otherwise it’ll escalate.
