I am delighted to support my local AD and local municipality, and I personally prefer not asking for a discount... nor requesting that item be shipped out of state for a non-taxable transaction.
I value the staff and owner of my local AD personally and on a first name basis... and I take great satisfaction in being a customer who doesn't haggle over prices... nor pressure them into business that could be considered questionable.
And using this approach... my AD has actually offered me discounts of 20% on Rolex timepieces without me asking.
But with the SubC... I was offered no discount, nor would I ask for one or expect one... knowing that I received the first SubC for my particular market.
They offered to ship out of state... I preferred to pay the sales tax just so that we could enjoy a face to face transaction.
I value many things over the 'almighty' dollar.
Many.
