Bargaining.....
A Sindhi phones to a
dentist to enquire about the cost for a tooth extraction.
"Rs850 for an
extraction, sir" the dentist replied.
"Rs850!!! Don't
you have anything cheaper?"
"That's the normal
charge," said the dentist.
"What about, if
you just don't use any anaesthetic?"
"That's unusual,
sir, but I could do it and knock Rs150 off.
"What about if you
just use one of your dentist trainees and still
without anaesthetic?"
"I can't guarantee
their professionalism and it'll be painful. But the price could drop to Rs400".
"How about if you
make it a training' session, and one of your students do the extraction while the other students
watch and learn?"
"It'll be good for
the students", mulled the dentist. " and
it's going to be very traumatic, but I'll
charge you Rs50”.
"Now you‘re talking
! It's a deal," said the Sindhi.
"Can I confirm an appointment for my wife
for tomorrow then?"
