This post reminds me of the six seconds I spent in the parking lot of a discount A/V place thinking I might get some install customers there... then I remembered who the hell I'd be dealing with!

I worked for someone who constantly told us to stop talking to the teen-aged guys who came into the store because we were wasting our time. Guess who became great customers- EVERY one of the teen-aged guys who used to go to that store. When he would say "They're not gonna buy anything", we told him "Maybe not today, but they will". I still see some of them and several have most of the equipment they bought from me close to 30 years ago- it still works great.
See, that paragraph makes it look like they bought something 30 years ago, and then nothing else, which would totally support your boss's idea of things!
I'm finishing a bar job for one of them now- sold and installed the speakers, checked out his existing equipment, hung 7 TVs, re-connected all of the equipment and am doing what I can to help him open in a new location. The others who are doing the remodel are milking the job, but Thursday is the target date for the first night open and it'll be interesting to see who else goes the extra mile.
Opening a bar requires equipment, so you scored there after thirty years. I know, he's probably bought other stuff too.
A bit less than half of this is razzing you for no good reason. Tire-kickers, when well taken care of, often do come back and buy.
