Looking at a tree for over two hours the other day and the sales guy said, 'are you going to buy that or just look at it, we sell to make money here, it is not a show.' Cheeky baastuud ha ha ha!
I said to him, 'maybe... not sure if you remember but I purchased a straggly one armed bougainvillea that you failed to look after the other day. You sold it to me for 3 rial' (6 GBP or 5 USD ish).
I pulled out my phone and showed him a picture of the vine now looking like a scale tree in a decent pot about 10 inches tall. 'There it is, doing well right?' 'Yea,' he said sheepishly.
I said, 'someone offered me 30 rial (60GBP or 50 USD ish) for it recently, but I'll sell it to you for 20 if you like!' I leaned in smiling and lowered my voice whispering, 'Take the time and you will make more money my friend!'
Ha ha ha
We laughed about it in the end and he explained his logistics and the lack of choice. Just order so many of each plant and hope half of them survive the shipping. Not many good nurseries here and this guy knows he has a half decent one which is cool. Pretty decent business man if nothing else lol!!
