I was just wondering who here admits that they ask their physician and/or their dentist for a discount when they go in for an office visit or treatment? And does your physician and/or dentist comply with your request?

Also on the same subject........ who here admits to asking their supermarket for a discount on the food they buy.... or their mechanic on the repairs of their cars...... or the paperboy for their newspaper....... or the pharmacist for their drugs.... or the post office for their postage.... or their internet server or telephone company or electric company or beautician or landscaper??

Who here is self employed? How do you handle the request from a customer who asks you to discount your prices? Or do you offer discounts automatically on ALL of your services?

Not looking to debate or throw stones here ...... just genuinely curious where the line is drawn, if it is drawn at all.

Thanks..
