Slippers

- Responsibility (as mentioned previously) is the driving force behind any slipper salesman due to it's eventual leading to customer gratification. Particuarly in recent times, when slipper sales have fallen on a low patch, the slipper man's job is a tough one.

This turbulance in gross national slipper retail has been mainly cuased by the overpricing and overstocking, a common enough set of business errors, but this time added by the very fact that slippers are themselves a product halfway between perishable and not perishable goods. As in; slippers may fall apart in transit or in bad hands (perishable) or they may be kept lovingly together by a good owner (non-perishable).

Obviously the former case is the preference of slipper salesmen, as the more slippers a man (or woman) will get through relates directly to how much they're likely to be able to add to the retirement fund.

Slipper sales are a slippery business.
