> Producer Ben Calhoun tells Ira about a secret move his friend uses all the time — the "good guy discount" — that gets Ben's friend money off all sorts of items when he's shopping. (6 minutes)
More often than not, if you ask someone with the power to give one for a discount - for any polite reason - there's a decent chance they'll do it.
The times they won't give a discount, I pay with the credit card and get the "cash back".
The proprietor, though, will nearly always give a discount for cash, because it's money ahead for him.
