I dated a guy once who asked

I dated a guy once who asked for discounts on EVERYTHING. It just about made me weep with embarrassment, but you know what? He got a discount on almost everything.

Here are some things he used to say:

"Man, I like this, I really do, but I can get one just like it at [insert store name here]. Can you knock the price down a bit?"

"How about this - you give me 10% off, and not only will I send all my friends here to shop, but I'll come back when I need my next stereo/set of tires/laptop." He would then follow this up by taking a bunch of the guy's business cards and sincerely recommending a good sales person to everyone he knew.

"I think you can give me a better deal on this. You can, right?" This was always aimed at the manager.
