Most were actually good customers and didn't mind spending the money as long as they got their "discount".
I also worked for an Armenian guy and he hated dealing with other Armenians, for the most part. Some of them were great but others had the idea that they should get a bro-deal just because they were Armenian. Like dealing with family.
