Five words that can save you a fortune…
Making fancy videos requires a few bits of equipment.
Recently I needed something to add to my collection of ‘gizmos’ and took along a friend on my gizmo shopping spree.
“Watch this!”, I said.
I picked out the item I wanted.
Snagging the attention an elusive sales clerk was probably the hardest part.
As we approached the register (friend in tow) I asked casually,
“Do you offer a discount?”
There was a slight pause in his step. I winked at my friend.
“Actually, yes we do. Let me see what I can do” , he replied.
A few minutes later, ‘gizmo’ in hand, my friend who was initially horrified at my behavior laughed.
“I haven’t seen that done before”, she said.
Memorize those 5 words. Try them. The worst thing they can say is, “No”.
Don’t believe me, then check this article out from the New York Times. (link)

p.s. For the record the item was a “popper blocker” (link) — I got it at 25% off retail!
