 Mike: Hi, Amanda. What do you think of my new sneakers? I just bought them at Wufenpu a few days ago.


Amanda: They look pretty snazzy, Mike. I especially like that color-what a striking shade of blue! How much did you end up paying for them?
Mike: Well, after a bit of haggling 1, I was able to convince the salesperson 2 to sell them to me for NT$730. The original price was NT$750, so I think I got myself a pretty sweet deal.
Amanda: NT$730 isn't bad, but I don't think you should be patting yourself on the back for your bargaining skills. You only saved NT$20! Why didn't you try to get a better price than that?
Mike: I did! But then the girl at the store told me that they wouldn't make any profit if she gave me the sneakers for cheaper. She said if she lowered the price any more, her boss would just deduct 3 the money directly from her paycheck or maybe even fire her!
Amanda: Oh, Mike-don't you know that's what they always say? When you're trying to haggle 4, you have to be merciless. You can't let your emotions cloud your judgment 5, and you have to be willing to walk away.
Mike: I should bring you along the next time I go shopping then!
