how to haggle for everything...

An interesting but potentially-SC-enabling article. Thanks, Mr. Colao and Forbes.

Some of the areas make sense like legal bills, real estate, etc. The big stuff.

But groceries?! Electronics? Groceries is in the picture version, but not the text. Odd. Anyway, getting up to 40% because color is wrong on a camera? Asking for free chocolate because you buy a lot of food? *snorts*

None of those small retail scenarios would never happen here. Ever. Except floor model, that I get. Geez. *sigh*

GAH!!! Dammit!!! Unless you're in a garage sale or car dealership, haggling is pointless!!! These idiots need to stop writing these haggling articles!!!

A woman yesterday asked me for a soap bottle and I showed her the only one we carry. It was yellow. She asks for no tax, I say no, against the law. She pauses and hmmms. Then she says softly, "I wanted white ..." and just stares at the shelf while hugging the bottle. My brain went back to this board and the article and I had to fake-cough to cover my giggle. *sigh* I could only say sorry and inch away. She did end up buying it.

Just thought it was funny XD

Because I don't get enough sucktomers asking for discounts on donuts that aren't even a day old yet, or pizza slices that are still within their time limit, but "look old". Really now!

I've seriously had people haggle over Mcds food.
Exact conversation:
SC"Can you give me a hot and spicy with tomato without charging for the tomato? Wendy's does it."
Me "Wendy's also charges $4 for their spicy sandwich, we charge a dollar. Your choice."
The slice of tomato was still too rich for her blood.

I was at the grocery store to pick up a forgotten paycheck yesterday and saw an older Russian woman haggling at the customer service desk.

Asking for a price adjustment the day of the transaction is one thing (mom's done it for legit sale items that for whatever reason did not ring properly), but her receipt was from a week ago, and apparently some of the items she was arguing about were on sale then, but not now.

I think she was begging for the MOD to adjust a few prices up

*dons protective gear* In some cultures, not haggling is as foreign as haggling is to us. It is expected. Does that mean I want to be stuck behind somebody haggling over the price of potatoes? No..but I do understand it. Places like Walmart, etc..yeah I don't think haggling is a good idea..but I will haggle over a car or bigger purchase . What sucks about these types of articles, however, is that they spawn EWs. Which is never a good thing.

You may now throw tomatoes at me for understanding haggling
