Can my GM stop me from buying stock from the store??

Bengaboy · 17 Oct 2008 at 13:56

Awwww my gawwwd Im so mad with my GM at work - wanted to buy the new macbook and we have one in stock - but he says I cant, I have to buy it next week! :eek:

Spending £950 of my hard earned cash and he tells me to come back next week...cheek of it.

I will get 10% discount , but can he stop me from buying it?

Any help would be appreciated, as I was literally out the door to get the macbook, but now im pretty gutted

(P.S im not a mardy little scrotem - Im just extremely disapointed , was looking forward / saving for a macbook for ages lol)

I guess that he can't, but he can fire you.

Is it the last one?

Maybe hes waiting for stock coming in next week and by that keeping the last one for a full paying customer....

I do not understand. Your boss doesn't want to sell something? Bizarre.

Russinating · 17 Oct 2008 at 14:00

That too ^^. Can get a better spec'd Dell for half the price.

Well I assume he can sell it to anyone he wants to.

Bengaboy · 17 Oct 2008 at 14:00

Yea it is mate - but Im going to be getting one next week if I dont get one now , so I dont understand it, all the stuff that I do to help the company out and they backstab me...

Im sure you dont need to know this but... NEVER BUY ANYTHING FROM THE LAND OF PURPLE SHIRTS!!!!

This.

The man is trying to help you. Listen to him.

KaHn · 17 Oct 2008 at 14:02

So what your boss is doing is thinking of losing a potential customer and maybe a lot more future trade, he is thinking like a GM and looking at the long run not just the next week.

Maybe you should take note in case you ever want to progress past whipping boy?

He has one in stock, why sell it to you at a loss.

Arjun806 · 17 Oct 2008 at 14:03

Lol

Bengaboy · 17 Oct 2008 at 14:04

I get where your coming from bud, really I do - but seriously, will it make that much difference?

But the real question is - can he actually refuse to sell it to me?
