I work as a buyer in a big company. Today, one our key suppliers invited me to a VIP event. They are a new supplier, with a European base in Germany, and a manufacturing plant in China.
Anyway, the VIP event happens after a trade show in Germany, with the usual cocktails, etc but the highlight is that they have a replica F1 car, and they were offering the chance (not to be missed!!!) to have a photo taken with the F1 grid girls.
The thought of a night out with a load of leary German men is not my idea of a good night out, funnily enough! I want to decline this invite politely, but make it clear the exact reason why, without offending what is actually a very important supplier that I have been working with for the past nine months (I am their key contact in our business). Any suggestions on a smart, sassy answer?
