I am not trying hard enough. What would you tell him?

customers to buy products which they don't need. Tell him that you don't want to lie to honest people, and that you want to
provide them with good service. Remind him that when customers (get) good service, they (return)
to a store and spend more money.
Michael: I think that's a great idea. He (might) change his mind if I said that to him. Maybe he (realize)
that good service is the most important thing to consumers. And, of course, I (feel)
much more comfortable if I (be) able to be honest with the customers. Thanks for
your advice.
