First Rule of Business. Never lie to a customer because you WILL eventually be found out.Second Rule of Business.Never have sex with a customer because it will all go wrong and you'll both be FIRED.Third Rule of Business.Never say rude things to your customers about your competitors because it makes you look like an IDIOT.
