I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it further.

That's good!

Although one could be evil as well by saying something like, "Now it's $50. Wanna try for $40?"

Been doing stuff like that for years behind the bar.

Just yesterday, we were running as one of our college football specials pints of a particular domestic draft beer for only $2.50. (Normally they're $4.75.) I told this one couple about the deal. The girl ordered one, but the guy said, after clearly hearing me, "But you can do it for two dollars, right?" I stopped what I was doing, looked him right in the eye, and said, "Yep! Three dollars!"

He shut up.

I also do this on the flip side. I got a beer the other day on the street during one of our festivals, and when the girl said, "That'll be three dollars," I responded with, "Four dollars? Cool." She said, "No, no, THREE dollars." With a smile I said, "I know. I heard you. Four dollars it is." I have fun with tipping like that. Or, as my friends might say, I'm an asshole like that.
