    Whenever I have customers come in and ask for some discount and they become chancers cos I'm a girl and they don't believe I'm the manager, I tell them rather politely that the price can always go up the way too. Good prices work both ways. They generally shut up after that.

    Nope - but how do you save -$10? Surely it should LOSE -$10

    I don't think that we in the UK can get too smug over other nations' understanding of negative numbers.

    I only got a 4 for my standard grade maths but I know -6 is higher than -8, even if the number is lower....

    but theres nothing wrong with those negative numbers - all figures are correct. "SAVE" is a lie though

    Mmm - no - I think 'save' is still quite accurate. It just doesn't come clean about on whose behalf the saving is applied....
