Wannabe Redneck Businessmen

I really hate it when rednecks think they are businessmen. This is the main reason I despise the coal industry. Coal is WV's main business, yet I learned at an early age to just stay way clear of that industry. It's dangerous and the coal companies are never stable. The main reason why is because they are all run by rednecks.

The worst part is when the rednecks buy a computer system (from us) and then expect it to magically solve all their problems. Problems not solved? No problem we'll try to push around the nerds in tech support.

We have this one customer that is just a mile or 2 away from us. Honestly if I ever see that man in person again, I'll probably punch him. He's a dickhead. He's dirty, and he's and idiot. He threated to sue me personally and I told him to have at it.

Here's the scenario. The companies will do anything to cheat the system. They use FIFO costing on their inventory, yet they don't truly use FIFO costing. They have some consignment inventory that they transfer to their main warehouse. This consignment inventory has an inflated cost (because it's not theirs and they don't care), but after they transfer it over, they sell it at a different cost (they can't have that overinflated cost showing on their books). I see why they do it, but here's the problem. Say widget XYZ is in consingment at $200, and it's transferred to the main warehouse. You transfer 1 widget at $200 which results in a credit to the consigment warehouses inventory for $200 and a debit to the main warehouse inventory at $200. Dandy. However, now when they sell the item, they use a $100 cost. Do you see the problem here? You have 1 widget valued at $200 on your books. You sell that 1 widget at $100, leaving you with a quantity of 0, but you still have $100 leftover showing in your inventory general ledger? Hello! Common sense anyone?

Well, this would be common sense to any businessman but a redneck one. Redneck refuses to listen to this as being a problem. Then he calls at tax time saying his inventory is way overstated. No fucking shit. Well, Mr. Redneck businessman gets irrate because of course it ain't his fault for not having any common sense. Seriously the douchebag has been inhaling methane and coal dust for 20 years, why shouldn't his brain be in top notch form? The worst part is that Redneck businessman finds out he's fucked up and resorts to threats and lawsuits.

Well, Mr. Redneck businessman, I say "FUCK YOU!"
