DS asked me for a fiver this morning so he could pay for the bottle of Prime that his friend bought him last week. His friend bought it In Sainsburys, so it cost two quid. He wanted to make £3 profit!!!
I told DS he was an idiot for agreeing and that he friend was being an unreasonable sod for charging him that. He's taken £2.50 and told his friend I won't let him pay more for it. (I know the friend and his mum very well)
DS is a confident kid so if he friend gets huffy about this he'll deal with it. But FFS! DS asked me what I'd think of it was the other way around and he'd been the one expecting to by paid a fiver but wasn't. I know he's a teenage boy and they can be pretty stupid but come on, you really need to ask? If I found out he was trying to get 150% profit out of his friends I'd be furious!!!
Not sure if my AIBU is to be incredulous that kids are selling a soft drink on the bloody black market, that I can't believe DS was so silly to agree to this, or to think that the people (yes KSI, you) who make the bloody thing should be ashamed of themselves and their limited stock?!
