I have actually asked for something once or twice in my life. Like in ye older days when I bought a bloody expensive TV (good TVs cost an arm and a leg in the CRT days) I asked if the salesperson could give me an antenna cable for free, since he couldn't negotiate on the price at all. He did bent that much. Usually I don't ask for such things but I like to view the price of expensive stuff bargainable. Too bad these days the clerks in the big chain stores are good for nothing drones and they can't even wipe their nose without asking for a permission from the headquarters.
