Well yeah, they should expect less. But honestly, I don't see the problem with negotiating services and rates if it's done respectfully and in good faith.
These three examples, in my opinion, are simply inquiring about rates and services.
- I can't afford $200 tonight, do you have anything for $160?
- I'm only interested in oral, do you have a BnG rate?
- Does your $200 include Greek?
This, on the other hand, is just an asshole haggling.
AH - Can you do $160?
SP - Sorry, no.
AH - Come on, that's all you're worth in Durham
SP - Fuck off.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying providers are obligated to negotiate. I'm just answering Thumper's rhetorical question.
