How do i apply trp if i’m the owner of the small business? Most of the customer is rude and belittle me even they know i’m the owner and i can’t do anything cuz first i don’t really want to lose the customer and second i don’t want to have a bad review online.
I always call them sir/ma’am which is not really my nature but i need to show respect.
Do i just really need to shallow being beta when it comes to business? Seems like ignoring and being stoic is not an option here cuz i need to deal with them.
My mindset is “customer is a king” even tho i knew this is wrong i still thinking about it everytime. And feel like i can’t apply trp at my retail business no matter what, It’s affecting my ego tbh when customer is being rude and want to just kick them to my shop.

Just tack on an Asshole Fee, and keep it moving.

What's your business? Suggestions will be different depending on what you do.
Nevertheless, here's my take on the red pill: unless contrary evidence is presented, people are bastards; act accordingly. This means that anyone is ready to stab you in the back if it benefits them (including women, which we're not really trained to consider as such due to too many Disney movies), and so you must take preemptive measures.
In your case, you could either limit your contact with people - making whatever process you can online - or add an "asshole tax" in whatever you're charging for services. You could also aim to position yourself where you can somewhat choose your customers, or at least attract the most reasonable ones.

I think u just might be beta because u pointed out the problems. If u put the pussy on the pedestal it controls you, u put the customer on a pedestal they will control you. In short, the answer is frame. U literally own the business man.

Like what i said i don’t have problem to apply trp when it comes to woman i can pull woman and abandon them when they don’t act right.
But customer is different i can’t just be an asshole to them whenever they don’t act right cuz it will affect my business image. One customer complain and most of the people will hear about it , but ofcourse i still have boundaries like when i said there’s no discount or offer i stick to it no matter what.(that’s when i always encounter a rude customer when they can’t get what they want)

I used to get this as an IT worker. Then I met a ripped programmer and ripped sales guy and we would all go to the gym during lunch. Let's just say we exercised the assholes away.

Lol this seems funny for some reason , i get you man i’m not ripped yet but i have good amount of muscle (working out 6x a week) thing is i always wear oversize jacket or over size long sleeve cuz it’s cold to my work place.
But yeah actually people act differently towards me when i’m wearing tight shirt

You can get tailored jackets as well. Walk in looking like Andrew Tate.

Looks matter in business more than people would like to admit, especially how you dress. If it’s too formal or too relaxed, people won’t treat you the right way.
Being shredded also helps. Also check if there’s something wrong with your body language.
LudgerKresnik 3y ago
I agreed especially looks more matter where i’m living(UAE) , I always dress casual and relax what should be the dress code i don’t use formal since it’s only small business and i just want to be comfortable around.
Can you elaborate about body language?
Bulba 3y ago
Go to successful businesses in your area and see how people are dressing. If you're dressing too differently from them then you're probably dressing in the wrong way.
The same goes for body language. Go there and study their body language. I can't give you any specific advice on that as I don't know what would be proper body language for a man in the UAE, it's not the same thing everywhere.
