If they tell me it is not currently on sale, I will politely ask to speak with a manager and ask them the same questions. This works really well in clothing stores, as well as home improvement warehouses like The Home Depot and Lowe’s. Again, you want to always be polite when asking for a discount. Quantity Discount.
