Salesman: Hello,May I help you?
Customer:Yes, I want some shirts. Could you get the dark blue one on the second shelf for me?
Salesman: Of course, here you go. It is one of our best sellers, nice and elegant. And it only costs 15 dollars.
Customer: Un, I like everything about it except for the price. Isn’t that a bit steep? I heard other stores are having great mark-downs on this item. So I wonder if you could give me a discount.
Salesman: Well, we could give you a 20% off; that’s 12 dollars. It’s already a deal.
Customer:It is still beyond my budget. I’m not planning on buying one. Any further break on purchasing in bulk? What about 8 dollars? I will take ten of them.
Salesman:Let’s meet in the middle. 10 dollars for one. It is our rock-bottom price and is almost the cost price.
Customer: I’ll go with that. Please give me 3 light blue ones, 4 median blue and 3 dark blue.
