I work in a business where haggling is commonplace. SC asks for a room rate.
Me: $79.99
SC: What about for 2 rooms?
Me: I can do $69.99. I also list our ammenities.
SC: We plan to stay until Saturday. Is there any way you can do any better.
Me: For that many nights I could do $64.99 per night.
SC: And that's the lowest you can go?
Me: Yes
SC: Are you the manager?
Me: No
SC: If I talked to the manager in the morning would they give me a better rate? Because maybe I can take my business elsewhere.
Me: (Would you please? I'd really appreciate it.) I doubt it.
SC: So $64.99 is the lowest you can go?
Me: Yes.
SC: Even though we're getting 2 rooms for 4 nights each.
Me: Yes, and that's why I discounted it from $79.99 down to $64.99 per night.
FFS lady, quit it already! If you agree to $64.99 per night for 2 rooms, 4 nights, my manager isn't likely going to give you a better deal. He wants us to sell for as much as possible.
