Bitch.

Who she?

A EW bitch.

What she?

A EW bitch.

As for discontinued / clearance prices BEFORE they're discontinued? Complain just for the sake of getting a lower price.

Major EW.

Well, 1, 5, 7, and especially 9 aren't too bad. Haggling would be far more effective if everyone obeyed Rule 9 above all else! Most stores have a clause that if an item goes on sale within X days of your purchase, they'll refund the difference.

Even Rule 2 isn't a bad idea, per se. Floor models are going to be discounted because they're technically "used" (and were probably abused at some point), so getting rid of it when it's the last piece of that line left is often something you can negotiate with.

However, we're back to Rule 9! More people would get a little bit if they picked their battles better, and didn't turn into screaming EWs when the answer is "No".

I had a look at the front page of her (slow loading) site. I don't mind the stuff where she's apparently going for scamming companies - fair play on that one. What I do mind are those photos of her - are we sure she's not some sort of animatronic model?

#8 would make you sound like a whiny little EW. "But you PROOOOOMIIIIISED!" *pout*

Sorry. ANY kind of entitled attitude is an immediate turn off for me. I don't go out of my way for people like that, and in my business I usually do have room for price negotiations.

I'm a salesperson. Any discount I give you generally comes straight out of my paycheck. So you better be nice to me if you expect me to take a hit on my pay.

I had to go back to her home page...creepy. I wonder how much she pays for make up and hair products...well...knowing her...she probably pays next to nothing.

I'll second the creepy. Those eyes don't look sane. *shiver*

The title to that article should be "9 ways you can be an EW". What a twit.

People like that expect everyone to work for free and not make any money (but I'm willing to bet that they're the first person to jack up their prices as high as they possibly can go and not give anyone an inch of negotiation room).

They think "Well, if it cost YOU $5 then it's unfair to charge me more than $5". Yet then charge $50 thinking "Well, I need to make some money from this".

People like that should be living in the southern USA... before the civil war. They tend to think that people being forced to work for free (which she is insinuating in her article) is slavery.
