Let the man enjoy his suit, don’t try to always put a negative spin on everything.
First I can start by this: how, whatever I said about Squirrel, could change the way he likes his suit ?
This is exactly what I was talking about, think about it a bit more. Think about why you are thinking like this.
In reply to:
You took 3 posts (while incorrectly assuming he paid for them)
Yes he paid for the inlets, I'll explain again:
- costs of the suit: 400-600$
- costs of the suit with inlets: 440-640$
- price of the suit: 1650$
The price is covering the costs, so yes, he paid for them (you can read again the example of the "free" TShirt, which is never free).
They decide to make less benefits, but still, he paid the suit, and so the inlets.
They decide to do a commercial gesture, not by kindness but for the exposure they got back. Exposure is making more sells, more sells is more money, and the "less benefits" becomes a "more benefits".
They could have decide to not get 1100$ benefit by saying “No, that’s not a suit designed for backflying, order a freak”, that makes total sense for a business !
I have an idea, next time you got a discount of 60$ (price of the inlets of PF) just say you got front inlets for free...
In reply to:
I work as a mechanic in a bike shop. If someone comes in and pays me to fix their brakes and then asks me to adjust their shifting and I do and don’t charge for the shifting, I am doing them a favor.
You are not doing a favor, you are doing a commercial gesture because you know that by doing that you have more chance to have the customer coming back to you for his next problem, and so you have more work and make more money.
Again, nothing bad, this is how you run a good business.
A favor is when you are not waiting something in return, with kindness (at least it is what it's written in the link above). Waiting for something back, which is something totally normal when you run a business, is not kindness.
So yes I stick to my point of view.
You can totally stick to yours, but if you want to answer to me please put what I wrote and the arguments you in front of mines.
