#78 Discount Through Deception
When I go shopping at a department store, I always take a few seconds to pretend to dig through my purse looking for something before handing over payment at the checkout. After the cashier takes notice, I’ll say something along the lines of: “I received a coupon in the mail and could have sworn I brought it with me, but I can’t find it.”
Every time I’ve done this, the cashier hits a few buttons on the cash register and I end up getting like 15 to 20% off my purchase. Apparently, you don’t need to actually present the coupon to receive the discount.
