What should the volunteer do? Point to the sign on the wall that asks customers not to bargain? Tell her the price is $9 and “we shall not be moved”? Advise that the watch was,in fact,donated by Princess Di and the price should really be $95? Inform her that a lower price might have been accepted had she not been such a pain?
The correct answer is all of the above. But still she howled. She wanted to see the manager. The manager looked concerned,flustered,sympathetic – and accepted her offer. But next time she must pay full price.
