bargain (1)

"Oh honey...you can make this!" GRRRR

Do people really think we can't hear?? How many people come to your booth, start observing your work, they even ask the medium you use, and then you hear "oh honey, you can make this" yikes!!!!I just heard a grandma telling her granddaughter "grab a business card so you can go to her website and copy it". Seriously????? I just stood in front of the 14 year old and told her "I want that card back, I don't appreciate people who come to my booth to try to steal my work". I'm also tired of being the photo police. I mean, I understand if you are interested and want to send the pic to your husband or wife or whoever and they even ask you before, but the ones shooting with their phones left and right...Come on...show some respect. At least common sense. I feel the same when they try to bargain. What are we? Gypsys? A flea market? We are professionals, working probably harder than anybody. Creating all day, working Extra hours, weekends, holidays, sometimes until 3am and on top of that, drive all over the place and try to set up. Ha! Setting up is a b#%*^%h! Who can do all that?! Damn! We are so talented. So, do you want to "copy" my work. Go ahead. Good luck!PS and please if you have your kids with you,teach them to observe, not to touch with sticky fingers, and if they touch, don't laugh. It's not funny.Just venting!
