Discount prices?

Why? Why do new guys, guys I've never seen before, think they can work me down on price?
Can you do that at Meijer? Can you do it at Home Depot or Kroger, or your neighborhood hardware store? Would you expect that, when told your tab was $220 at any of those places, they'd just round it down to $200 for you? You wouldn't even ask, would you?
Then why do you feel like you can ask me?
Yes, I'm in sales. Yes, I've admitted here that I don't mind a bit of negotiation, if there's volume. But for anybody to believe that a $220 dollar sale calls for me just giving you 11% or thereabouts off, what planet are you from?
Okay, I have a chip on my shoulder right this minute. Can you imagine why?
