A bright sticker hinted at a discount. "Is this on sale, by any chance?" I asked. She scanned it and the price dropped.
The price was close, but I nudged anyway. "Can you do better on the price?" I asked. He shaved off another ten percent.
I checked the tag twice to be sure. "At that price, it's a total steal," I said. We grabbed two before they sold out.
My phone lit up with a notification. "The shop's having a huge sale this weekend," I said. We marked the calendar right away.
The new tag covered the old higher price. "Look, it's marked down to half price," I said. That settled it — we were buying it.
