Years ago I managed a small store in a shopping mall. The owner was the most notorious tightwad I had ever known up to that time. He was forever thinking of ideas we needed to do and having me call in contractors & vendors for prices. Very rarely did he allow me to go ahead with anything; it was all too expensive. Eventually, none of them would come back to do any more prices & few others would come out even once. The grapevine was/is pretty strong around here. Word got around.
