Quoting

I took care of the customer when they came in to the store...no one had established a previous relationship with them. There were no "commercial" sales reps in at the time and the customer said he needed to look at equipment that day so I showed him the products he was looking for, gave him all the information he needed to make an informed decision and he told me he would call back with a po number and order. He called on my day off, the owner took the call and asked one of the commercial reps to take the order. The commerical rep took the information & placed the order in the computer. When I came in to work the next day, that rep approached me about the sale and said that the owner told him to take the sale and the commission & follow up for future purchases. The customer reminded the commerical rep twice that he had worked with me on this sale and gave him the pricing that I had quoted him. The rep told me he felt I was entitled to the sale, but was told to take it. So I make the sale, the company gets paid and another employee gets the commission on his paycheck...how is that legal?
