I don't like welchers

There is a woman with whom we do business. My dad actually built and set up the store (she managed it), and he used to actually own it until he sold it to her fully a few years ago. We've been doing business with her for over a decade until this past Monday when she decided that she didn't want to use our services anymore.

She told us on Monday to bring her final shipment the next day when she would give us payment for the final bill, which amounted to just over $1,500. She mysteriously wasn't there when our manager dropped off her stuff (at the same time he has always delivered the stuff) on Tuesday, and her son (shockingly) had no idea about the money and said they'd pay us the following day. We've never had payment issues with them before, so it wasn't a big deal... until now. Today, she informed our manager that in the past decade, so much of the stuff we'd given her was bad quality, and she'd lost a ton of money over the years by awarding credit to her clients. She told our manager that she'd tally up a final bill and deduct that amount from the $1,500 bill.

This, of course, is bullshit. I phoned her son personally to ask his side of the story since we'd always had a good relationship. After sputtering whatever lines that his mother was feeding him from two feet away (uh... this guy is in his 30's), he finally gave the phone to his mother who proceeded to tell me that I didn't understand how she and my dad did business and that I didn't know as much about business as she did. I plainly reminded her that my dad is out of the picture, and she is dealing with me now, and I want the $1,500 for the services that we rendered. She then proceeded to rebuke me for daring to speak to an adult this way (since I am a "child") and that I basically had no respect and was not listening to her. "Tell me," I said. "I'm listening!" She then told me that she was going to hang up on me, and she did.

After calling back twice... and being reprimanded twice and having my request to speak to her grown son refused... I at least had the satisfaction that I always knew this woman was a two-faced idiot. She obviously knows that she owes me $1,500 and is using the useless how-dare-you-disrespect-your-Korean-elder line to hide her embarrassment that she owes me money and that I am way younger than her.

If I were a 24-year-old white girl, she would never pull this excrement out of fear that I would tell everybody that she is shady. If I were a 13-year-old black boy, she would probably pay me right away out of fear that I would shoot her.

Bitch owes me $1,500. And I've lost all respect for her complete mama's-boy of a son.

:-)

PS - I'm mature.

Haha, what if I called her? Would she pay me out of fear that this Brownie would come to her house with a couple of bricks of C4 strapped to her chest?
I'd LOVE to find out!

Dress up one of your white friends as a lawyer, and I'm sure she'll give them the money!! Hah!
