This is the phone call I just got.

Can you groom my dog tomorrow?  It's a poodle mix.

me: yes mam

How much to you charge?

me:  Oh, Ive never done your dog before?

No.  I take it to someone on Hwy 11 but I want to find someone in Ellisville because it's closer.

me:  Small dogs generally run around $40.

...and here it comes....So If I bring it to you will you give me a discount?

...answer....sure $39.99.....

My answer was reasonable and within the bounds of politeness (I think) but was much stronger.
