Honesty is the best policy

Today we had a visit from one of our least favourite reps. I don't know why but there's nothing you can like about this man.

He came in peddling his wares which we didn't want to buy (we would rather purchase from some one we like don't ask me why) had a cup of tea and then proceeded to tell us about his other job.

Apparently he has just given up his lucrative weekend job as a taxi driver in Bristol. He informed all who would listen that between Friday night and Sunday afternoon he could earn £1000 per weekend. He's obviously full of bull**** because I'm pretty sure he doesn't earn that much being a sales rep. But he continued with his story even when we looked at him sceptically he obviously can't read faces. He proceeded to tell us he made this amount by basically ripping off the drunks. One fare that should have amounted to £7.50 he got £63 for he was given a £20 note and told to keep the change and he said there was 3 stuck together and the rest was change he found on the seat. He also told us that he would ask for £20 for his fare when the drunk gets in the cab and then drive around a bit drop the fare off after he had a little sleep and then ask for £20 again and invariably they would pay him twice. I am now never going to trust this rep ("idiot?") ever again am I so why did he tell me this story?
