Please Stop Haggling Over Flowers
Show notes
Matt Bragg talks with caller Poppy about the tangled florist-slash-gift-shop-slash-insurance business she works at, the truffles that net her store a whopping fifteen cents apiece, and her heartfelt plea for customers to just spend a little more money.
What You'll Hear:
A Vinted Lowball Gone Wrong: Matt opens with his own haggling saga over a secondhand parka, and the friend whose lowball advice once got him publicly roasted by a seller.
Life Behind the Counter: Poppy explains how her small-town shop became part florist, part gift store, part insurance office, part nursery, and why flowers alone couldn't keep the lights on.
The Ten-Dollar Delivery Fee Fight: From truffles that earn fifteen cents a pop to customers who think a bouquet should walk itself over for free, Poppy breaks down why the price is the price.
