Just throw a heavy discount on all your other stuffs to make up the differenceI have been known to be a dik.
Actually I don't get a discount on batteries myself. Clarios (formerly Johnson Controls Batteries) sets the prices.
I know you folks love to rag on engineers, but I'm gonna continue passing the buck off to the beancounters, and here's a prime example of why.

My favorites off the top of my head are a request for a quote on an oil change, and how long would it take us to do it, and when I told a guy we did not offer a clutch for his 07? Chevy Tracker "Well how about you transfer me over to someone who can find one!" I left his ass on hold till he hung up. Shops are priceless, one in particular will call us in a raging fury about why their oil that they ordered after the tech drained the oil out of the car hasn't shown up yet, only to have their employee tell them the oil showed up, was put in the car, and the customer has left already.One more retarded phone call and I might snap... guy just called and starts with "You're aware that they are undercutting you on the advance website?"
Um no, if you buy online, there is a 20% coupon code you can use. We aren't undercutting ourselves.
Then says "Well, can you just match the 20% off on a battery so I don't have to order it online?"
No, the 20% doesn't apply to batteries, online or in-store. The price of batteries doesn't change.
Then he hangs up, calls right back and my boss answers. Dummy asks the same questions, gets the same answers, and goes "Oh so you must've talked to the other guy (me) about not giving the discount?"
Um no, *s-wordhead. It doesn't change. No one is trying to scam you out of 20% on a battery. Try to order it online if you don't believe me. It won't let you apply the discount.
Geez...
That sucks, we get them for ~$100 when walk-in is $200 on standard 5-year batteries.I have been known to be a dik.

What if the lefties start loosing it, cos the rights are far right ?Wait, gloves come in pairs? What if a left glove identifies as a right glove?
You're right, we are doomed as a species!
We only pick on engineers because they cow tow to bean counters and work around the penny pinching instead of refusing to compromise. We all know the bean counters are to blame, but the engineering excuse of, "just following orders" is what we pick on. Maybe you can be the change, we want to see in the world.I know you folks love to rag on engineers, but I'm gonna continue passing the buck off to the beancounters, and here's a prime example of why.

There is a reason the right glove always wears out first, probably a conspiracy in there somewhere. Don't know about metric gloves though.What if the lefties start loosing it, cos the rights are far right ?
