Secondly, it’s likely for you and your business partner to go shopping, so you should also know how to ask for price and how to bargain. While you are shopping in the United States, you will discover that prices vary considerably from store to store and from time to time. Almost each store has its own “special days” during some important occasions, such as a store’s anniversary, statutory and local vacations, and even long weekends, to attract people to buy things at reduced prices.
