    Good Christmas Present For Copier Techs?

    Currently a new sales person for a small copier company with two older (50+) technicians.

    They hate me because, sales and also being new to the industry I made several sales and will probably continue to make sales that give them a headache due to us being too short staffed to keep a proper inventory list.

    Long story short, any ideas for a couple of reasonably priced Christmas present for a couple of veteran copier techs that will help smooth things over with the team?

    Thanks!

    As a 50+ tech I would not be offended by a decent bottle of whisky.

      That's a really good idea. One of them is definitely a whiskey drinker.

      Thanks a ton.

        I had a customer once that gave me a bottle on Seagram's Crown Royal every Christmas.

          Maybe a gift certificate for a local restaurant for the guy that does not drink.

            There is copier tech who doesn't drink

                You should be very good with service of their equipment...I'm also but nowdays I'm happy when clients let me drink a glass of water

                  Oh god yeah he drinks, just not sure if he's the whiskey type.

                  I'll try to find out by Christmas though it's a simple and good gift.

                  I was about to be an idiot and get them a multi tool or something

                      As far as I'm concerned you can't go wrong with Tequila either.

                        I beg to differ, sir. I'm living proof that tequila can go wrong in ways that you'd never think of. And the police may or may not have been involved. lol
