Listener Questions
On this episode:
- Ok Pottery Gurus… what do you do in situations like this? I did a craft market this weekend. It was all fine and good on Saturday until a woman walked up to my booth, picked up one of my carved and detailed mugs and said, “Oh that’s cute.” then turned it over to see the $36 dollar price, looked me straight in the eye and said “it’s not THAT cute”, put it down and walked away. I was left standing there dumbstruck and unable to process what to even say. I know there are rude people and I’ve had a lot of people say stupid things but know that they think they mean well. Not this bitch. It was so pointed and just mean. I know my worth, I don’t have any doubts about my prices, I have lots of happy customers that return often but man did she get under my skin. What would you have said to her? Do I just let people like that get away with their comments or do I say something to them to let them know they are being a dick. You two are the best and I value your opinion so I thought I’d ask. @zonazonazona
