Distributor cancelled an order and we need to move 30k bags of coffee [updated]
One thing that irks me about dealing with big businesses, that the post touches on, is payment terms.  If I buy an item, I pay for it immediately (or if it’s large enough, a creditor pays for me).  Big companies pay with IOUs that say they’ll give you cash later, say 30-90 days from now or after criterion X is fulfilled.  They do not care if you’re a small company with poor liquidity.  I think it’s absolutely abusive behavior
