Why does my number feel like it's gonna be embarrassingly low?

Back when I rented my place on Commonwealth, I knocked $75 off to move it fast and got the same circus. One guy showed up with his mom and tried to talk me down another $100 because the fridge was "only" a year old. I ended up picking a fine tenant, but I spent my whole weekend answering texts from people who were never gonna sign anyway. The cheaper price just made everyone think there was more room to wiggle. Lesson learned the hard way, we both basically paid a fee in dumb questions.

Went through the same thing last month at the grocery store near me. They run a senior discount on Wednesdays before 10am and I kept trying to stack it with the app coupon, which never worked because the app deal was online only. What finally did it was just walking up to the actual register and asking the cashier what days are slow, turns out they quietly mark stuff down Tuesday nights to clear stock. Now I skip the app entirely and show up right when they open. Saved way more than fifty cents that way, so your plan for Tuesday morning is solid.
