Part Four: Monologue
Bargaining is not common in the United States, but sales are. Stores offer discounts on their merchandise during sales. They hope to bring in more customers, and clear out merchandise that hasn’t sold by offering discounts. People watch for sales carefully to save money on things they need. Every store will offer a discount on it’s merchandise at some point, so it’s just a matter of waiting until the item you want goes on sale. The Going-Out-of-Business Sale is, perhaps, the sale where one can get the biggest discounts. When stores are closing for good, they try to get any price for their merchandise. This means you can often get discounts of up to 90%.
討價還價的情況在美國不多見,可是打折出售倒很普遍。商家在銷售期間給予貨品一些折扣。他們希望通過這樣可以吸引更多的顧客,同時清除未賣出的商品。留意商品打折的顧客會很仔細(xì),以此在他們要買的商品上可以節(jié)省一些錢。每一家商鋪都會給與其商品一定數(shù)量的折扣,所以要等到你想要的商品打折只是時間的問題。“停業(yè)銷貨”可能是顧客可以獲得的最大的折扣。當(dāng)商家因為利益原因關(guān)門停業(yè)時,產(chǎn)品會以任何價格出售。這意味著你可以獲得低至1折的商品。
