    When someone in my store begins to ask for a better price, I tell
    them the following: 

    I have never learned how to play that game. I understand that there
    are places that do it but I do not understand how. Some people are
    very forward and will ask for a price. Some are shy and would never
    do that. The forward group are not going to get a better price at
    the expense of the shy ones. Everyone will see the same price, the
    same fair price. If something happens that allows me to change it
    downward, no one will have to ask since it will already be done by
    me. 

    Most of the time, people will accept this and pay the price. In any
    event, you may notice all the "I" sentences in my statement. It is a
    lighthearted approach making myself the fall-guy. This structure
    avoids anything that might sound like "you cheapskate". 

Peace,
Francis
