    I would be a little devious about that-pull the plug and tell the government "see, that darn kid broke it!"

    Too much work. Just pull plug wire loose. Or "forget" to put the switch in the on position.

    Sold another ztr mower while at Dennis' gtg saturday. Customer came back after I spent an hour with him Wed and let him test drive multiple mowers. Luckily he mentioned me and the time spent to a few employees. They quickly told me to check Saturdays invoices and put my name on the sale. The other sales guy had already claimed it.

    Good news: the crew likes me. They told me.

    Bad news: friend of 25 years is the other sales guy. Welcome to sales I reckon.

    Sales can be quite cutthroat when commissions are involved.

    Perhaps he didn't realize the work that Bocefus put in previously?

    Should be discussed and get the air cleared quickly, IMO.

    If there is a cash reward for the sale of the mower , then something needs to be said.
    Or it will happen again and again
