If they see they can get away with short-changing the guy, they'll try to do it again in the future and maybe take advantage of him in other ways
It's still a cringe scene, but it makes sense that Mike was so insistent

>>219813594
Yes, Nacho was clearly trying to bully the Jewish pharmacist out of $20 to see how easy he is to push around. Mike appointed himself as the Jewish pharmacist's negotiator so he didn't let it happen.

>>219812599
That's how it usually goes, yeah. You don't want to appear weak in a situation like that.

>Breaking Bad makes a big deal concerning Walter and how dumb he is
>Why are we meeting at the junkyard? Did you watch too many movies? I make my deals at the mall
>BB and BCS have everyone meet at the most barren and abandoned places of all time after that, because it looks cool on camera
Why are you pointing it out and then just ignoring it?

>>219812599
mm-mm that so?

>>219813594
that answer is solid

>>219813786
That was S1-S2 of Breaking Bad which was still trying to be grounded despite the fake science like exploding meth. So they poked fun at the audience via Walt's naive, film-inspired idea of a drug deal.
After the show became a huge hit they just slowly embraced the dumb cliches they were avoiding or critiquing. By S5 the show is MCU tier and BCS just continues that way.

>>219813786
The point of meeting at public places was for the safety of Jesse's own ass. Nacho wasn't worried about getting killed by someone like Jesse, but Jesse benefits from having witnesses around to discourage the other party from attacking. Following that logic, it's believable that people like Nacho would pick somewhere with no witnesses to do business with someone like that pharmacist guy. I don't know how realistic that is, but it checks out as far as the show is concerned.

Also, Jesse was just some punk. He wasn't some big time criminal like the cartel guys. What the hell would he know?

>>219814596
In Breaking Bad, Tuco also made fun of Walter for meeting in the junkyard.

>>219814811
Tuco was an insane meth addict

You can’t let theee people take advantage of you. Happened to me once and never again.

Mexicans.

all the cartel/drug trade scenes in BCS felt so fake and silly. even more than Breaking Bad

>>219814845
So not even the cartel knows appropriate places to meet? Are you sure you're not just weaving mental gymnastics because your previous post was wrong?

>>219814596
Yeah, Walter is a known killer psycho. Nobody would meet him in the desert. They keep doing it because Vince loved how it looked. It's not supposed to make logical sense

>>219812599
I watched my grandfather walk away from a car purchase over A FUCKING DOLLAR. ONE. DOLLAR.

These old heads have to think they got the better end of the deal, nothing is ever on equitable terms at least at FACE value.

>>219815009
Anon, that makes perfect sense and your grandfather was correct. If a seller isn't willing to budge on a literal dollar, that means they're already fucking you hard on the deal.

>>219814991
>Yeah, Walter is a known killer psycho.
Yeah, to the viewer. Deckland knew he killed Gus, but even then he wasn't sure it was actually him. How would anyone know about any of his other kills?

>>219814921
Do you run the gas station? How were you allowed to make that decision? Wouldn't you get fired for the till being under?

>>219815801
Everyone aside from the main characters has ESP and precognition in the Kim Wexlerverse.

>>219815009
>I watched my grandfather walk away from a car purchase over A FUCKING DOLLAR. ONE. DOLLAR.
Tell us the story. Leave out no details.
The car, the price, the monthly payment plan, etc

>>219812599
better re-write: "You're short 20 bucks, but I'll be indulgent since its your first offense and such a small amount among us friends, which can easily be corrected... next time."

Instead:
> stares at him waiting for mere pennies
> mmhmm don't do this again
fucking autistic writing.

>>219815894
are you the expert on back alley deals mr tough guy?

>>219815894
You remind me of the funniest review I've read on onion sites in the past years.
>Package arrived but was short by 0.25 grams but I'll get that back in my next order
Followed by a hilarious melt down review because he went back to the person that shorted him and got shorted again. People like that are testing you, pushing back on already set boundaries and you're too stupid or naive to realise it

>>219813594
>>219813860
its not solid, because its 20$. its fucking moronic. being short a grand on a million dollar deal wouldnt be a big deal. dealers lose more than that on transit alone. you think drug dealing is like legal business? idiot. you take what you can get, and rearrenge the deal. if he was short some money, just give him less of the product. end of story.

>>219814969
>So not even the cartel knows appropriate places to meet?
they dont need some place to meet kek are you a fucking idiot or what? why do you think the cartels have so much power? because their entire business operation is vertically integrated. they dont need places to meet because their entire process is stream-lined. just a phone call takes care of it all. nothin in that tv show is even remotely realistic.

>>219814921
>>219815839
remember george floyd? some stupid cahier monkey let him get away paying with a fake 20$ bill. you think people paid minimum wage give a fuck about it? or are going to fight a customer over stolen merchandise? the guy couldve just walked out the front door with the beer, nobody wouldve done shit. its insured. im not a cop. walk away wth everything if you want. ill go home and find anther worthless minimum wage job.

>>219817547
this is not your call

>>219815009
its just an ego thing at that point. your grandpa and the other guy are both fucking morons. one dollar wouldve kept both parties happy, but now nobody gets what they want. why dont you spend an hour barking at a dog instead? same result.

>>219817657
>they dont need some place to meet
That was what Tuco implied, retard.

>>219817803
so walt was integrated in their operation? no. my point is that such a meeting wouldve never taken place, retard.

>>219817547
>if he was short some money, just give him less of the product
This would be agreed upon before hand. Asking for x amount then not turning up with the correct money is a dick move and intended to test the seller. I assure you if a dealer has two customers, one that turns up pays what's owed and fucks off back into the ether, or one that turns up under false pretences then haggles, which one do you think is getting cut off at the first possible opportunity?

>>219817742
its not a call. its the reality that everyone in the business understands. pay less, get less. end of story, everybody walks away happy.

>>219817881
>This would be agreed upon before hand. Asking for x amount then not turning up with the correct money is a dick move and intended to test the seller.
no, products get lost in transit all the time. thats why insurance policies always have a margin for errors in inventory. if it happens often, they might decide not to do business with you again, thats it. you know nothing of how the real world works.

>>219812599
>Letting mexicans scam you

>>219817904
we had a nice thing going you stupid son of a bitch

>>219817872
>agreeing with me but angry about it
You're really dumb. Walt picked the junk yard and both Jessie and Tuco made fun of him for it. So your original cope post (>>219814596) has been debunked.

>products get lost in transit all the time

>you know nothing
We're not talking about products you illiterate fuck. We're talking about a pre arranged deal where one party arrived without the prearranged amount of money required for the purchase. This has nothing to do with things going missing in transit. As for the insurance policies that's a verbal contract with a criminal, it means nothing you stupid cunt. You're either a jeet, a troll or a retard, I sincerely hope you an hero asap.

>>219814956
Looking back, it's shocking how much better BB is than BCS.

Dude, it's only 20 bucks out of a 20,000 dollar deal. Mike was throwing a hissy fit (even the fat guy said it was fine) over a 0.1% discrepancy. God, you're dumb.

>>219821860
The mafia and cartel have insurance? Are you high?

>>219812599
The whole show is full of cringe just meant to drive the plot along. Haven't seen this part yet though.

>>219821860
>even the fat guy said it was fine
The amateur who got robbed by Nacho shortly after that was wrong about how to proceed with a criminal deal?

>>219819993
BB is way worse retroactively
>Why is hector in tuco's shack in bb?
>Doesn't Gus have Hector under 24/7 surveillance to make sure that hector suffers as much as possible?
>Oh wait, gus doesn't exist at this point and Vince didn't write why Hector is in a wheelchair, so none of this matters and we didn't establish that Gus has a surveillance apparatus akin to the KGB going on in Albuquerque with hidden cameras everywhere

>>219821972
>The amateur who got robbed by Nacho shortly after
The football cards? Nice strawman. This hasn't happened yet. You're not saying anything here.

>>219815801
Doesn't matter. Making deals in the middle of nowhere is retarded regardless. Ambush etc.

It's about principals, kid. Today it's 20$ tomorrow it's 20,000$. Honor is important and the drug lord will respect you if you don't let him cheat you.

>>219822343
>principals
You mean principles.

>>219822673
No I don't. The kids just aren't taught right these days.

>>219817547
>because its 20$
It's a shittest, back then one of them definitely would have some cash on them.

>>219813594
this, its not a hard scene to understand

>>219822946
Everyone understands it, but this is not the first scene about a drug deal in tv show history. This is still stupidly made.

>>219817547
>give him less of the product
oh yeah just take out 1 of the pills, yeah that won't look retarded

>>219817547
> you think drug dealing is like legal business? idiot.
yeah, if nacho got shorted he would’ve beat the other guys ass had mike not been there, or worse. what is he gonna do? call the BBB?

>>219812599
>>219813594
20 bucks is like a thousand dollars in the era the show takes place (90s)

>>219822917
Anons retarded. One minute he's talking about how it's illegal business then he's talking about insurance. He doesn't know what a shittest is because he's larping on here, he'd get robbed blind in that world. Retarded jeet is retarded.

>>219815839
>wouldnt you get fired
rarely are you going to get fired for the til being under once, if it was a regular thing than yeah, now telling the boss that you let the guy go without paying thats a big nono

>>219814921
>mexican
I can't believe you'd do that for a mexican in the first place, I'm generally a pretty unracist guy irl but when it comes to work I'm not gonna trust the mass majority of people, any guy buying big cases of beer at a gas station is an unreliable guy in the first place, they should be picking it up at the grocery or liquor store

>>219815894
lel this must be a joke because your line is even more autistic

>>219819993
Both have parts better than the other, I'd argue between Chuck and Lalo BCS is often the superior show and certainly has more clever writing, BB comes off more cartoony and action thrillery, Mike is a lot better in BCS too even if hes overpowered and way too old
