40% for those who ask...

Submitted by Guest on August 21, 2007 - 03:56.

My wife's aunt now works for a fur sales company as a salesperson. This particular fur company partners with a large department store. She let me in on a little secret. There is always an unadvertised sale of 40% off on all furs. But the customer does not get the discount unless they ask for it. There are customers who are buying furs for $8000 when then could be buying the same fur for $4800 if only they would ask.

It made me think about what else was discounted...
