I have customers asking for savings on products all the time. My thought process is you pay the price for whatever you want, when they consider something a need they want discounts and savings. I’ve had customers go as far as asking for my employee discount. Which I always tell them I don’t get discounts n that item. My job is strict on the employee discount, it’s not a family discount! I love my job and I don’t want to risk my job for a customer.
What kinda of experience have you had?

I get called over to a lane every once in a while because of this. I politely explain that we have no control over prices and highlight other discounts or specials they're welcome to take advantage of. I can't get over the sense of entitlement. I know they think they're special enough to deserve a discount, but my bosses disagree.

I nicely tell them all the red tags are our sales prices they’re no other savings unless you have the membership or the credit card with us.

I just love people that think the price in American retail stores is negotiable. This isn't some Marrakesh street market.

Right! You can’t negotiate your light bill stop trying to haggle us retailers

This happens to me once or twice a week. It's annoying (like...extremely annoying), but I also can't fault them for it. A lot of people are struggling right now and they are trying to make the most of what they have.

People pay the price for what they want! If they really wanted the savings when I offer ways of getting the savings they would jump right on it. Which they don’t. They pull out their debit cards and pay for it

Someone please tell me that I can get a rear facing child seat in the back of a mustang… otherwise it looks like I’ll have to buy a new family car to drive the little one around (wife doesn’t drive unfortunately).

Could be a good excuse to get a Taycan but was hoping I could just stick with my mustang. We said next car will be an EV didn’t think it would be so soon though!

I like my current job, company and public accounting. I know I am being underpaid at $70k as a senior tax associate with 2-3 years of experience as I have talked with my local peers as well as local recruiters. Also, I know outside hires to my company get paid about $5-$10k higher than me, but they don’t get a raise the following year. My question is what is everyone’s experience with company hopping to get a pay bump within public accounting?
