I don't get the obsession with saving money, but that's just me. Will you really drop dead if you pay a few extra percent for something, instead of being an arse for hours until they pay the remainder of the price out of their pocket?
I mean, shops have to stay in business, and if they sell everything with a 0.0001% markup, how can they cover costs?
Thank you for keeping the economy stoked up.
I am a consultant for major corporations. I wish I could go in and say "this much" and they would say "OK, you have to stay in business". There is always negotiation. Well, for the companies that want to stay in business anyway.
