Local Dad Enters 2nd Hour Of Christmas Tree Price Negotiation Stand Off

A FATHER based in the Ireland area of Europe is growing ever more dug in on his insistence that the Christmas tree he is attempting to buy should cost no more than €45.

“I’ll walk, I’m telling you I’ll walk, and then what? That’s a sale gone for your good self,” insisted 45-year-old Cormac Keeler as his children stood by, wishing the world would swallow them up.

Despite the sign at the road side tree selling spot clearly stating ‘trees €45, €65 & €85’ Keeler has held onto this point when trying to haggle for the most expensive variety the 12ft Norway spruce which is priced at €85.

“Your sign says ‘€45’ and aim to hold you to that,” barked Keeler as tree seller John Horan remained locked in one-sided negotiation with the Waterford man and multitasking by way of selling trees to people who just want an easy life and don’t treat everything like an episode of Dragon’s Den.

“You don’t think I’ll go down to the GAA club where they’re selling them as well. I’ve bought from you for the last 5 or 6 years, a little loyalty by way of selling to me for €45 is more than fair,” said Keeler, while attempting a jovial smile but coming across as ‘an asshole’ when speaking to Horan, who started selling trees last year.

Keeler, now shivering from being in the cold so long in a thin jumper, began losing stamina but insisted on not losing face in front of his children.

“I’ll give you €85 on the sly but you just pretend you’ve agreed to go down to €45,” pleaded Keeler, to which Horan responded ‘no’.
