Being in the service industry, I am shocked every time when people claiming to be vip or vvip, rich, powerful try to get the selling price down, that also ridiculously Low as if they were going to die without those discounts.
I suspect that they were unable to grow out of the poverty mentality that they must have come from. When I was young I was poor and bargaining a few percentage off would mean I could buy something else essential or even that I wouldn’t have to walk back home because I couldn’t afford the bus or that I would have to skip a meal because I didn’t have the money.
I grew out of this mentality consciously. It was hard work and meticulous.
