The fifty cents tale

ok this is really classic. It never fails to make me laugh whenever I see a fifty cents coin in my wallet.

"how much is the bag?" Peter asked the chinese boss.

"35 dollars (with the chinese accent)!" the chinese boss said.

"I will get it from you for 30 dollars!" Peter tried to bargain with the chinese boss, ridiculous!

"no.......no............(the longest "no" peter has ever heard). If i give you 30 dollars, tomorrow you come i close down!" the chinese boss said, with the very distinctive english with chinese accent.

"oh man c'mon, i really like this bag, 30 dollars deal?" Peter was not giving up.

"ok let me talk to my wife!" the chinese boss said.

*after a while listening to the mandarin Peter can never understand*

"ok, you seem like a nice guy. i will give you the best price ever!" the chinese boss said.

With so much anticipation rumbling inside, Peter waited for the price offered.

"34.50 dollars! " the chinese boss said, with an exaggerated expression on his face, telling Peter this is the best price ever really.

"oh man, it's just 50 cents difference!" Peter, couldn't help but to feel like banging his head onto the wall.

"hey 50 cents can be alot. see ah, you save 50 cents here, then you go to other shop and save another 50 cents, it's 1 dollar!!!!!!!!!! and then you save another 50 cents and another, you can go to the two dollars shop !!!! " the chinese boss analyzed the logic to Peter.

omg, i was laughing my ass off. really. Now you know how Chinese run their business. They will try their hardest to get every penny from you. So save the hassle of bargaining with them, your effort will be to no avail!! lol.
