Business Ethics

When did it become o.k. to charge a customer more because they make more money? I see this all the time. I had a friend call on a service and they asked him what he did for a living. He told them what he did and how much money he made a year. Then I went to check on the same product. I told him what I did and how much I make a year and he quoted me $400 more then my buddy. What the hell man? A service or a product cost what it cost. Some people are just jack a___! The more people I talk to the more I see this is going on in the business world. Charge a fair price and be consistent. I don't think that is asking too much is it?

Darrell~ Unscrupulous is what it is! (that is a word, isn't it?) Could you imagine if we operated that way?

Why would anyone answer those type of questions with other than "It's none of your business."? If I am calling someone to provide a service the last question I expect from them is "What do you do?" or "How much do you make?"

I would be offended and take my business elsewhere.

For $400 $500 I'll give you my response and help you with the spell checker.

But just to be sure....how much did you say you earn? That could make a difference you know.
