Please Stop!!!

i'm not going to name any names or anything. but you know who you are.

recently i've been receiving PMs from random i-clubbers and their friends asking for "hook-ups". please understand, i am a business owner. i am trying to make some money out of this. this is not a "freebie" business. i worked my @ss off to get to be where i am at today. and i am not willing to lose it all because some of you want to be my friends and get free stuff. please also understand. i still have yet to see a f*cking penny out of this store. i have not made anything so far and it's been 4 months since i took over. i mean... i know that's business so i'm not too worried, however... please stop PMing me asking for free stuff or crazy discount or asking me how much i buy my sh*t for.

i am actually quite annoyed going on i-club now because of people like you. just because you are a fellow i-clubber, doesn't mean you get free stuff. i don't even give i-clubbers i personally know free stuff. so wtf makes you think i'll give you even a f*cking air freshner?

so please... just please stop asking for "hook ups". if you ask about whether i can get something in or if i have something in stock, i'll try to answer as quickly as possible. but because i don't go on i-club as much anymore, please just email me.

thank you.

I hate people that ask for hook ups. It's so ghetto.

what NO hook ups???

Just kidding man. I don't even know you but when I do I expect everything I get from you for free...

Seriously, that is a shame. Get a job and pay for the things you want!!!

david.... get used to it bro. grow a thick skin when it comes to that. it won't ever stop. i've owned my own business for 5 years, currently where i'm at now i get that everyday- try putting on my nametag for a week- tell me how you like it.

when someone asks for something free- the way i look at it--- it's a potential way to make money on something... at least they are interested in your product- could be vakamon, razor concepts, high pace or some other guy. but no- they have you in mind. and yes they want freebies... use your salesmanship to make it something profitable....

just my $.02 and hope that helps
