Don't get me wrong, the guy was nice. Gave me some brown man rebates. Felt weird haggling in French like it felt weird haggling using pesos.

My daughter now speaks English with a hint of French accent. Hilarious. The school year's not even over. The last language she'll learn fluently, sadly, is Tagalog.

As usual, even with the storm, after the convention we went to UQAM library.

Pas dur pourtant de vendre en anglais. "15% off if you speak French".

I am done with Transformers for now, (unless I decide to come back faster than expected) I am putting my figures away.

Rabais/rebate = international sign of peaceful transactions

The wife who only haggles in English faired better than I did.

I was teaching my daughter to haggle but she was intimidated by how tall Protoman is. lol.

Re: The Montreal/Quebec Local Fans Banter Thread
I offered service at my table in both languages. I would've offered service in 2 additional languages on top of that, but there didn't seem to be the need for that either way.
When trying to make the sale, what's important is not what language is spoken; what's important is to make the damn sale.

@Buhawi
Your daughter looked so shy when you came by my table!
You also never came back with your wife to check out those little Japanese sticker stick-figure action figure thinggies that I had at my table!

Re: The Montreal/Quebec Local Fans Banter Thread
What are those things called again?

The wife wanted to go the library after I had to run.

Nah. The most important thing is to give some rabais. Russell's totally wrong about brown guy vs Chinese guy transactions.

And thanks for scourge. That toy stood out on your table.

Re: The Montreal/Quebec Local Fans Banter Thread
Would probably be easier to locate the entire figure, it must be selling for something like $4-5.
