For some ppl it’s cultural. I’ve worked with various cultures over the years, and for some it’s like a game. They don’t feel good about the purchase unless they get some kind of win. They will push and push and push until they can walk away and say, I got a deal. Once you understand that, it makes it easier to work with them in the future, and I learn to give some small thing away so everyone leaves happy.

Back when I was getting started in the food world, I worked flipping burgers at In-n-Out. A man came in and said the burgers he had gotten weren’t right. He dumped the food on the counter and then he started throwing them back behind the counter. We gave him a refund and then his demeanor completely changed. He was calmer and he told us to have a great day as he left us to clean up the mess he made.
