Fun way to lead into wrapping it up before "Guilty As Charged" then closing time. Ya'll are so fun and relatable and makes real life adulting more enjoyable.

Businesses are not ashamed to take our money, they're not looking out for my interest. So I have no shame requesting a discount. I'd say 60% of the time, I get a discount because I am bold enough to ask for one. The trick is to do it with confidence and respect.

Our washing machine broke during lockdown. We ordered a new one online and for 1 month I dragged incontinence pads and bedding to the laundry mat every day. It was stressful and I was good sport until the new washing machine showed up and it was broken! My husband went to the store. They said it would take another month for the same one so he asked for the one I really wanted but was out of our budget range. Got the more expensive one plus a discounted base for the same price we paid and it was delivered the next day. Now I always try to exercise my negotiation muscle but he was my hero that day.

I listened to this on Spotify but felt so compelled by George's roleplaying at the end that I had to come on here and compliment it. The "well, my dad Rick Sr.--" line was such an iconic DM move. 'I'm roleplaying this NPC and your out-of-character comment is going to completely influence the scene' LOL I loved it.

I have saved thousands & thousands by negotiating everything. Grocery store. Regular store. Thrift. Garage sale. I’ve never been told no either 😳🤷‍♀️😎 That’s why you gotta ask. Don’t leave money on the table. It’s all in how you ask.

@BabuSanii 11 ай бұрын

Always ask for a discount. Whenever I walk into a store, I ask a store representative if they have any ongoing sales or discounts. Also, if there's a particular item you're interested in, inspect it closely. Sometimes, there might be a scratch, dent, or other aesthetic defect. These minor issues don't affect the functionality of the item, but stores are often willing to offer a discount because of them

Just an insight that many people don’t know. When you return a banana or an avocado bag the store doesn’t pay for that they discount that to the farmer. (That’s why they have no problem receiving a bad item back) Meaning the farmer in most instances does not get paid until the produce get sold.

Absolutely hilarious! I’m a bit George and a bit Rachel though. I struggle to steel myself to the salesperson’s personal backstory and the best advice is “if you haven’t sold the “item” in a month give me a call”. I’ve gotten calls within days of walking away.

@ericl6386 11 ай бұрын

George is really a funny guy 😆 When he told he did not care about rejection after highschool I felt that. I think as a guy you face way more rejectian as a woman which could leed to better negotiating and not being afraid of rejection. This is not a comment to bash women or anything like that , just something I observed over the years in my own life

On the house example, my wife is exactly the same, she gets emotionally invested. We recently bought a new car, and I had a plan in my head to get a pretty aggressive discount, she blew my plan out of the water in the first 5 minutes by saying to the salesman 'Oh we love that car'. You could literally see the dollar signs in his eyes light up.

Ric was a pro! And so was George! And Rachel did well to walk away. I’m not a haggler at all. But I am very good at stalking a good deal. I will stalk an item I want for years in order to get it on sale. My late husband was a lot like George and a very shrewd negotiator. I miss him. It might have made me cringe a few times, but it also saved us a lot of money. Great episode as always 👏🏻

My daughter when she was about 12 took some yogurt to the register and asked if they could take some off since the expiration date was that day. I’m not this way some I’m just looking at her like what. The checker says yes she will take some off the price and asked what was she going to do with it. She replied freeze it - it was the gogurt tubes. I wish I was more like her.
