What do you think the Christmas Bell means to our vendor friends?

[TK1!!]

I have noticed a couple of cute sales posts from our sponsoring vendors that mention an impending Christmas Bell. I wonder if there is some lore about westerners and their giant bell that marks the beginning of the festivities. I keep imagining hearing the sound of the bell at the beginning of a boxing match, and an announcer voice shouting that it's time to Christmas!

They jump on any holiday and discount a few products by 10 dollars and raise others 20 bucks... I get my response isn't specific to the bells... but they'll go 90 dollars for t30, even 80 and then raise reta 30 from 200 to 230 lol. I think there's no love or consideration for us, only opportunity. Granted the sales dudes that post as a beautiful 25 year old woman are just trying to make a living but I believe they couldn't care less. Sorry for being negative, but they despise and resent us cuz the typical American is loud, obnoxious, spoiled and doesn't have a clue what's going on around them.... we're glued to our phones, posting videos of our families on a cruise while others try to survive. With that said, love ya, hope ur well, sorry for my mood and Merry Christmas.

I mean if you watch the vendors for a couple months, it’s pretty obvious the sales aren’t really sales. They all seem to feel required to do a monthly or even weekly promotion, and the discount is like 10 bucks. I’m typically like “mwah mwah”. Lol.

I know they are salespeople, trying to win us over in any way they can.
I just like the idea of a Christmas Bell, and you better get ready because it's about to ring! And why/how they imagine it's an important part of Christmas that will get us to choose their company.

I visualize them as a cigar chewing, eyepatch wearing, brandy reeking 60 year old dude.

Me too but it still gives me warm and fuzzy feelings on the inside when they call me dear.

What!? Molly from JEEP isn't really a model like beauty that sends me kissy faces when I order!? So Molly is more likely a Michael?

Eh, still more honest than Eli Lilly.

I've gotta say I'm particularly fond of the 'dear' and all of the hearts. You can't convince me there's any better way to do customer service than that.

I'm torn: On one hand I want to believe you're right because I feel like someone like 60-year old cigar dude is going to run a tight ship and get the order right because this is his path to eating steak rather than cat food. On the other hand, the thought of that person trying to navigate emoji and language use so they come across as a fawning 20-something woman sounds like it would be absolute torture.

I want to believe they're all using ChatGPT to "translate" their responses that way. Like the guy is saying "listen idiot, I'll send the package when I send it, stop bothering me," and you're receiving "hi love, I'm so sorry for the delay and hope you will forgive me, I'll keep a watch on it and let you know as soon as there's an update, you big strong American man.🥰😘😍"

They don’t despise or resent us. We’re their livelihoods.

They can hate us but still take our money.

That said, I absolutely hate that these vendors post unverifiable "customer reviews" where they don't post anything other than an edited screenshot of some rando saying "amazing, it's the best". Stop this shit. Keep your customer reviews to your TG/Discord servers.
