But why do you need a deal? If you don't like the prices, go elsewhere. you are literally the kind of person I hated when I worked retail: full of yourself and thinking you deserved anything, while your ~deals~ typically meant we didn't get our much-needed bonuses.

You sound like a huge dick and I hope I never have to get served by you if you ever work retail again. Wanting to negotiate a deal doesn't automatically make someone full of themselves, and it CERTAINLY doesn't mean they think they deserve anything.

It's usually more of a "Well, worth a shot, right?" If you say no and they keep persisting then yeah, they're a dick, but what the fuck is wrong with amicably trying to reach some sort of compromise?

Also most retailers who sell big ticket items will try to convince you to spend as much money as possible and get all sorts of shit you don't need. In that situation turnabout's fair play imo.

That's the person doing the selling's job. In your case, you are screwing over the people who aren't paid much with your precious fucking deals and haggling.

But hey, I'm the dick for being poor and not wanting to lose a cent out of my bonus that I use to actually stay ahead a little bit. Sure.

This is why I think you're full of yourselves and an entitled ass.

In this particular scenario it's your employer who's an entitled ass, not me.

It's like the fucking ridiculous tipping system in America. Employers pay their workers like $4 an hour and expect them to rely on tips, then the workers get angry at customers who don't tip them. For everyone else in the world it's plainly obvious that the employer is the one who's screwing you over, and that the customer has no obligation to give you handouts to supplement your fucking absurdly low wages out of pity. It sucks for the worker, sure, but it's in absolutely no way the customer's fault.

Also, adding to my previous post, you're being ridiculously self-centred. You've somehow got this idea in your head that people only haggle to get their egotistical kicks and to make you suffer or something, when in reality, and I can't believe I have to explain this, you're not the only person in the world with fucking money issues. Sometimes people haggle because they don't have much money and every cent counts. Shocking, I know. And even for those who are just doing it because they want to get something for cheaper, you don't have to agree to it. They might not buy anything, but hey, you're no worse off than you were before they entered the store.

As a final point, I cannot fucking believe you're trying to justify salespeople actively trying to rip customers off, while simultaneously condemning the customers for trying to get a good deal. "It's their job!" doesn't change anything. You're pressuring people in to spending money they don't want to spend, and you're saying they're somehow screwing YOU over if they don't bend over and take it.

You have some mind-bogglingly warped ideals. Again, I hope I never get served by you.

I know my employer is screwing me over, but the fact is, so are you because you are knowingly doing this so you can save a few hundred bucks here or there on luxury items. You don't need that huge flat screen TV. Make due with a smaller, cheaper one and don't try to haggle down that fancy plasma screen just because you want it. Actually live within your damn means instead of screwing over other financially unstable people because you want that thing and so you're going to try to fucking get it without thinking of the consequences or that you may screw someone else over so they can't make ends meet and put them further in debt. Nope, not so long as you get your new shiny.

I'm not saying you ave to bend over and take it. You can say no. Like, seriously, when a cashier brings up the store has a card, they can get fired for not bringing it up. Fancy that: they want to keep their job! Same if a store worker brings up things you get discounts on with that item: they literally have to. They will literally get fired if they don't. That you don't know this tells me you're not bad off at all, because literally everyone who has worked retail in America knows this. No one likes doing this unless they're an asswipe, and I have met no one who likes "pressuring" people to buy extra things. Believe me, we know you probably won't, but we have to anyway.

Different anon here is confused.

You're genuinely saying if I go into a store and buy something like a stove, which I need to live (ie not a luxury good) and haggle for $35 off the price (which I have done), it comes directly out of your paycheck as the employee on the floor that day who sold it to me?

I'm not sure I even believe that.

All discounts usually have to go through managers, in my experience, and they usually have a policy for them. If it affects your bonus--well, that's the nature of working in a service industry that relies on bonuses. Don't take it out on the customer.

It's probably a good thing you're not working retail any more.

Also

if you've never ever tried to haggle on even say an automobile

okay

but if you did

you are a total hypocrite

Dude I'm not American. I didn't know that because I don't live in a country that treats retail workers like complete shit. Even in America though, the setup you're describing sounds very illegal. You HAVE to give discounts or you'll get fired, but if you do they'll dock your pay? Ridiculous. Do you not have wage protection laws? Do employers not need to have a good reason before they fire you?

Also, again, you're assuming the person haggling is doing it for an item they don't need. Even if it is a plasma TV or something, you don't know shit about them or why they want it. Don't just systematically assume the worst. Stop being such a whiny, judgemental arse.

Heaven forbid that people try saving money

haven't you ever been so close to broke you've asked someone somewhere to give you a break on something
