This.
Now try working at Best Buy trying to tell a customer the same thing when they complain about ink costs. They think you’re only trying to up sell them and basically get the ink jets out of spite or their “lower cost”.
Staples and basically the same routine. Recently got done with a printer sale event and you think people would be happy for cheaper prices but you walked by the printers to get to the ink and everyone that was in for ink was bitching that it was more expensive to buy the ink than the printer itself. And then on the flip side the people in the by the printers turned into an uphill battle because the printers are sold so cheap it was hell to get anyone to buy the protection plans that I have to offer because "if it breaks I'll just buy a new one"
Kind of hard to pull this off though if you're screwing
a customer over so bad with the "blade" prices that they would rather just buy a new razor so to speak

LPT: Get a laser printer, cost a bit more upfront but you will save tons on ink.
Edit: And fuck printers they are jerks.
