No matter where you go or what you're trying to buy, people (yourself included) will always try to get the best deal they can for their money.

I, as a consumer, feel the same way you do from the the other side of the spectrum. Why does the salesperson get all snitty when I try to get a few bucks off? I'm not trying to get the few bucks off because I think you should work for free, I'm trying to save myself money, even if it's only a few cents.

It's human nature, accept it, deal with it, move on to the next sale.



Having said that, I appreciate where you're coming from, and I don't go into every purchase trying to get a few bucks off, but it never hurts to ask either.
