I sometimes wonder why you guys put up everything online. What if the lady is here on Nairaland??

Anyway to the topic, I understand cos I usually feel same way about some street vendors too. Just politely tell her the truth. You'll always sleep better being plain.

realestawe:
Must you guys bring every little issue to Nairaland? It's like you were disappointed with the message. Psychology 101

Kukutente23:

Oyindamolah:
But you brought yours to NL

pocohantas:
Backstory...

Persephone1:
People have different ways of starting conversations, it's not really asking for explanation but making an enquiry. Market people ask direct questions that some times sound like allegations self. It's no big deal.

pocohantas:


You mustn't comment you know.
If we guys don't bring topics, mature people like you won't see a topic to get angry over.




Lol. It is always the pseudo-intellectualism and privacy for me.

realestawe:


I see comprehension is the issue here. But

GO0DHardDick:
This one came here to do advert!

Israel must ensure they completely wipe out this Hamas terrorists countries including Saudi Arabia, wipe them out from the surface of the earth.

Muslims and Islams have always been the problem of this world. It's time for Israel to wipe them out from existence!

God bless Israel

Blue86:
Please don't listen to all the negative comments.

She is just being civil, and for her to even ask yoy means she likes you, and wants you to reciprocate by buying from her.

If she doesn't care, she no go send, many customers dey.

sisisioge:
I will tell her exactly why:

1. Fear of adulterated gas
2. Fear of cheating
3. Fear of over pricing

Let her allay my fears. I love to support small businesses.

pocohantas:


There is nothing to comprehend. It is commom sense - you don't have to comment. This is a forum with different sections that thrive on people like us creating topics for people like you to whine over. Common sense dear...

izzou:


She is not her customer.

She asked for her number and began to ask why she doesn't patronise her.

Quite impolite, if you ask me

This matter or another one?

Lol... Collecting number may be unnecessary but she can ask if she's bothered. To be honest I believe the gas talk is just preamble No be the real matter because all the suspense and long thing is not necessary.

Nevertheless, she did no wrong asking that question.

realestawe:


You're riled up for reasons best known to you and please address me with civility. This topic is on a business page and apparently its a public forum and I can comment as I deem fit. I'm no keyboard warrior neither am I here to banter with you. By all means carry on

izzou:


So, the one selling at depots are ingenuine hustlers?

The advantage in business is mostly pricing. A street vendor cannot compete with a depot. Infact, street vendors buy from the same depots too.

Make we no dey talk like say na wickedness.

"I can't patronise you because your price is high".

Albertone:


She's telling you the truth. Even the first 3 or 4 people gave simple and good answers.
It's not a complicated issue that requires the input of tens or hundreds of Nairalanders.

But as usual, you get coconut head.

pocohantas:


And this topic is on a business owner's message to me. On a public forum that we are free to use as we want as the rules permit.

COMMON SENSE ONCE AGAIN...

ednut1:
tell her your brother is the manager of a filling station that sells gas hahahaha

winner37:
Very awkward question..
This same thing happened to me same ony street. The woman came and asked me why I don't longer buying stuff from her again that where I left speechless 😶😶.

I have a car 🚗 I prefer taking my cylinder to gas station for refill than refilling it fim the road vendor..

realestawe:


Common sense in all caps? I can sense you are annoyed with my point maybe cos it hit close to the truth. Look, I said what I said, won't take it back ok? It's nothing serious so calm down.

pocohantas:


Please read to understand, it shouldn't be hard. I never said I don't patronise her because of yahoo boy. There is no commom ground. I don't owe her one. Thanks

pocohantas:


Thanks. I just went out now and saw her. I beckoned on her and asked why she thinks I don't "like" patronising her. She apologised for her choice of words. That it has been disturbing her given that I buy from others and she heard I bought from the brother. I never knew the yahooboy is her brother. I told her he was unreliable and never open on days I needed him. It is nothing personal.




I do too!!

Styluss:
Well, you will be in thesame situation someday and you will understand how painful it feels. I even commend her for asking you why you dont patronize her. You dont own her anything, its just courtesy / ways of maintaining interpersonal relationships . There is no code of conduct to how to live.

pocohantas:


Your fourth or fifth post on a topic you think is unnecessary. How do you do it?

pocohantas:


Hahahahahahahaha!




I always hear of this, never experienced it firsthand until today. Came as a shock to me!

They really do take it to heart o. So why did you stop buying from her?

realestawe:


I'm giving you engagement on your topic whilst not picking a fight like you wanted from the tone of your replies. Glad to see you're smiling now. Peace
