Explain this shit to me normies >person A needs services/product/etc

If Person B makes a profession of this service, it's in Person B's best interest to do whatever it takes to make sure Person A is satisfied. Word of mouth is a big deal, and people fucking love to complain.

You're thinking about this wrong
>Person A has resource A and wants the best deal they can get
>Person B has resource B and wants the best deal they can get
>As long as the deal is favorable to person A and B, they should make it
In other words, if someone wants some conversation and you're still getting a good deal, go ahead and give it to them; who cares. If you're not, tell them you can't make that deal because it's ass, and they can either accept it or fuck off

Because people enjoy being treated in a friendly manner, all things the same, people will choose the salesperson that they had the 2 minute small talk that asked about their kids to the guy who strictly talked about business

"Small talk is money talk."

Odds are that Person B is not the sole supplier of whatever goods or services Person A is looking for.

Most folks enjoy interacting with people who show interest in them and in what they are doing. So Person A will tend to prefer to do business with people who do that.

the "being friendly" is part of the deal. if you think you are being ripped off if you also habe to utter a few words to customers, amp up the price till you feel like small talk is justified. you might not have competitive prices then but that's what you get for thinking YOUR smile is worth more than that of the barber next door.

You guys sort of changed the context but okay

What if person B rebuffs person As unwanted social advances but replacing them would be more costly then stfu and getting over it?

Youre reading my example wrong. The transaction already occurred.

So what about this situation then. What person B-whatever generally have a "I'll just fake this for the sake of my business" mentality. Is Person A legitimately oblivious to this? Does person A not realize that his petty power plays may be coming full circle outside of their business life?
