What does "march to a different drum" and "get a lot more than what they bargain for" mean in
919321
A person who marches to a different drum is not your average, ordinary person - he or she is a little off kilter with the rest of society.\n\nSomeone who gets a lot more than they bargained for. This phrase is used to mean that one's expectations have been exceeded, usually in a negative way. If you rented rooms to a friend and expected that they would be a nice, quiet tenant and they wound up playing their stereo very loud late at night - you got more than you bargained for.\n\ns

Could mean change in management, change in market conditions. What they are really after is to see how quickly you can adapt to a changing environment and what actions you take.

You make something I like, I give you something of value.  If your price satisfies your costs of labor and materials, you break even.  Excess is profit.  If I think the price is too high, I don't buy it and you're out the cost of production.

Simply put, it means that one cannot get something for nothing. Even if something appears to be free, there is always a catch. You may get free food at a bar during "happy hour", but the bar-owner either figures out a way to get you to pay or gets some sort of benefit (such as attracting new customers). This may or may not be true at the individual level, depending on the interpretation of the phrase.\n\nThough it is possible for an individual to get a "free lunch" (eg. a company cuts its costs and gains competitive advantage), someone ends up paying the cost of the "lunch" (the cuts increase factory pollution). Even though there is no individual or private cost, there is a social cost. Similarly, someone can benefit for free from a beneficial externality or from a public good. But someone has to pay the cost of producing these benefits.

I can't be sure of the specifics, but it sounds like someone promising something that the other one wants, in order to get something they themself want.\n\nFor example, let's say I want a certain day off work, and I know my co-worker wants to go to a basketball game or whatever.  I might hint that I can get him tickets, on the condition that he takes over my shift for that particular day. \n\nKnowing how some of Metallica's songs go, it would sound like I might say I can get the basketball tickets, even though I can't. Then the other guy finds out he won't get the tickets, but he already worked the day I was supposed to.

•Peter Eckhorn offered Ringo £30 a week to go back to Germany and play with Tony Sheridan and an apartment. Ringo eventually joins Rory Storm. John called him at Butlin's to offer £25 a week as a Beatle.\n\n•Ringo had 400,000 shares of Northern Songs, Ltd. in 1969 worth £80,000.\n\n•When ATV bought a majority stake in Northern Songs in 1969, Ringo got shot of his holding for £80,000 but otherwise he didn't have much more money than sense because "if I think I'm being conned I do without". He also said at this time that he had "more money than I'd ever dreamed of" (Clayson and Sunday Post '69).\n\n•Ringo sold Brookfields (property) for £100,000 to Stephen Stills\n\nthats the best i can find. sorry

This is a pun:  (enjoy)\n\nBack during the days of expansion to the west, people traveled by stagecoach. This was not a particularly comfortable way to go, with the bumpy paths and crowded seats. However, there wasn't much choice.\n             Being in business to make money, the operators of these stage- coaches tried to think of various ways to increase revenue on each trip. People were willing to pay not only to ride out west, but they were willing to pay to ship things to friends and relatives who had already relocated.\n             Of course, passengers were the most lucrative. So it follows that the more people you could transport on each trip, the more money the company made.\n             With that in mind, these companies began restricting passengers to being under a certain weight, in order to fit three people in a seat instead of only two.\n             Not only was this extremely uncomfortable for the travelers, but it became obvious to those wishing to relocate that there would be no  \nwest for the reary.

It probably means that the commission the person would recieve would be 48-50% of what they had sold each month or year.  Also, they would be able to advance up to 4500 dollars a month of their salary, meaning they would be paid that amount before actually earning it.

It means that the rewards are worth the effort you put in to get those rewards.\n\nOr, more cynically:\n\nIt doesn't matter who you have to hurt to get what you want, as long as you get what you want :P

Clever typo: The more money you got, the better lawyers you can get & thus possibly get a lesser charge in court.  At least that's what it appears like seeing the news & watching Law & Order episodes... (I don't have any personal experience to this).\n\nSome quotes to ponder:\nJustice is incidental to law and order.  ~John Edgar Hoover\n\nWhen you go into court you are putting your fate into the hands of twelve people who weren't smart enough to get out of jury duty.  ~Norm Crosby\n\nAlthough the legal and ethical definitions of right are the antithesis of each other, most writers use them as synonyms.  They confuse power with goodness, and mistake law for justice.  ~Charles T. Sprading, Freedom and its Fundamentals\n\nThe more corrupt the republic, the more numerous the laws.  ~Tacitus, Annals
