lucky flowers

I just got back from a local flower wholesaler, Potomac Floral. It made me miss the days that I worked with flowers everyday. There were flowers everywhere, people running around, wonderful smells, bright colors, and to look at the outside warehouse you would think nothing of it. While there I put in an order to get flowers for a friend's wedding that I will be arranging. I had previously signed up on the Internet site, but wanted down to go look around to get a feel of who I was doing business with. After placing the order I started to ask a sales rep about pricing and what kind of a price cut you would get if you had a business licence. He looked at me and said, "Didn't you already put a business ID in the computer when you signed up?" I said that I had not and that I only do arrangements for friends and that this wasn't a business nor did I have a business licence. He then looked at me shocked, and showed me that they have three degrees of discounts and that I was already getting the 2nd level. 1st level would be the people that walk in off of the street to buy flowers (ME), 2nd level being those who do small quantity purchases, and the 3rd those that buy by the case. I asked him how that was possible that I could be at that level, he said that he didn't know and he wasn't privileged to that information and only went off of what was on the computer. Call it blessings from above or pure luck, either way it made me happy! Unfortunately the wedding is the week after Mother's Day and prices don't go down until the following week, but it was still better then having to pay retail prices.
