Even at the biggies like Sleepys and Macys (am I allowed to name stores?).

But there’s one thing about your article that I really don’t understand (I’ve never worked in retail, which might explain my ignorance): why is it appealing to major retailers to be offered a cash sale? That saves them, what, 1-2% in credit card fees? Yet you’re expecting a bigger discount than that for this type of transaction.

Sometimes you can dicker with them and sometimes they don’t have much room to bargain, but you will never know unless you try.
