Good for a laugh, but ultimately pointless and pedestrian. Might as well be
a clip about selecting presidents via rock-paper-scissors, if we are to
pretend every analogous situation should involve identical patterns
regardless of scale or venue.

Not when you've had a one-person company where your customers have pulled
all this on you, no.

Or indeed a multi-person company where your customers have pulled all of
this on you. (And its poignancy is amplified when you've been on the
customer side of that equation *as well*, as I have).

The idea is that when a customer has a vendor come in, the pricing isn't
fixed, it's negotiated - and often the customer will use the promise of
future purchases to drive the initial investment down. Sometimes they
use phrases like "this is my budget and all I can pay for" - they want
everything, but aren't willing to spend what the list price is.
That doesn't happen if you go to the movies or out to dinner. You don't
go to a fancy restaurant and negotiate the price with the server - you
pay what's on the menu. You don't offer to come back in two weeks and
buy more in exchange for a discount on your current meal ticket.

Be glad! It means nobody ever tried to renegotiate the price you charged
them after you already did the work! :-)
