Haggling over price is half the fun of buying something. It's a fine art in the far East. I start out by asking if there is a discount for Seniors. Then for Veterans. Then for disabled, then for just about anything I can think of. Like "llama owner" or something strange. If no luck there then I go to the old bait and switch. "I'll buy two widgets and a burpee" if you give me 10% off. Or, so and so is selling them for ________ Or, Now you probably wouldn't respect me in the morning if I left that kind of cash here. Or, "I learned from my Scottish grandfather that_____" I watched in amazement one day in HS, when I was working in an upscale clothing store.

The other day I went to a new barbershop. Walked in and asked how much for a haicut. They said $15. I asked how much for a SR, they said $12. I said how much for a veteran SR if I come back on the day you are almost no book. Gal said, "sit down I'll cut your hair for $10. I rest my case. ( oh, and I DID tip her $4)
