Funny, but not really true.If you ignore sales tax......
I have a $50.00 bill in my pocket. I go to a restaurant and pay for dinner with it. The restaurant owner then uses the bill to pay for the laundry. The laundry owner then uses the bill to pay the barber. The barber will then use the bill for shopping. After an unlimited number of payments, it will still remain a $50 - which has fulfilled its purpose to everyone who used it for payment.
But if I come to a restaurant and pay with a credit card, bank fees for my payment transaction charged to the seller are 3%, so around $1.50 and so will the fee $1.50 for each further payment transaction or owner, the laundry or payments of the owner of the laundry shop, or payments of the barber and down hill from there. Therefore, after 30 transactions, the initial $50 only $5.00 will remain and the remaining $45 became the property of the bank thanks to all digital transactions and fees.

Negotiating a price is common practice on certain products.That is incredible.
I asked and recieved a cash discount on a watch at a jewelry store. I won't name either but they are both well known brands and NOT known for discounting.
I don't negotiate price on everything I buy but frequently I do. You won't get it if you don't ask.
I had the same experience. I ordered a new GMC Yukon yesterday at the dealership. The price is still MSRP unless GM corporate offers a discount, no dealer incentives to reduce the price. Expected to be here in June. I will have to wait till then to see what incentives GM is offering to know the final price.Could be me but offering cash to buy a car at a dealership doesn't seem to help. I think the salesperson also gets a commission on a finance package.
I'm quite sure that they do.I think the salesperson also gets a commission on a finance package.

When we bought our Honda CR-V it was made clear to the dealer we were paying cash. They begged us to finance and pay it off at the first installment it saying it would "help" them. I told them they had to help me then by dropping the price even more than negotiated to "help" me "help" them. They would not so I did not.Could be me but offering cash to buy a car at a dealership doesn't seem to help. I think the salesperson also gets a commission on a finance package.
