Paid Advertisement | Happy Valentines Day Some vendors write contracts with stores which basically agree that if you sell a particular amount of their product in a particular way you will get rebates or get the merchandise at discounted prices. Our Western Auto Store in Iva, South Carolina sold cigarettes at exactly what we paid for them. When we started out, we were selling three packs of premium brands, like Winston and Marlboro, for only 80¢. So, we sold a lot of them. One day the representative from a cigarette company informed my father that they had raised the number of cartons we had to sell in order to receive a rebate check. We more than satisfied this minimum, yet the idea that the bar had been raised ticked my father off. He kicked a hole through the wooden checkout stand we had. He then hauled everything that mentioned their products to the back of the store. On things he could not move easily, he spray painted over the names. |
