Ok hows this.

We walk in. When the salesmen gets near you say we are after some whitegoods but you don't really have what I want. Then I say do us a f**king deal or I will f**k you up. Now hurry the f**k up?
Why don’t you and strider go into the store really early, I mean stand around out front waiting for them to open early, then grab the things you want and stand in the middle of the store. The important thing though is neither of you speak at all even if a salesperson talks to you. Just stare straight at them. Do this for as long as required. Eventually, possibly after closing time, they’ll probably just give you the stuff to get rid of you.

Money is time and time is money. Collectively they'd probably be a few hungee down in this scenario.

Ok new plan. Get there really early and grab everything off the shelves except what you actually what. I mean everything, duplicates of items and all. Then when they’ve finished scanning it all for you go “shit I can’t afford that” look around saying “maybe I’ll just get something else” grab what you actually want and then say “I’ll make a deal with you. If you give me this for free, I’ll put all the other stuff back”. Then the time thing is at least in strider and hindys hands

Yeaaah, I dunno. How about some actual negotiating skill? Find the cheapest deal in the country and knock 10% off that and refuse to budge and be prepared to walk out. Works for me.

New plan. Get there super early, before they even arrive early. Wear suits and carry some clipboards. Be surveying the store as they arrive, when they open survey in the store. After a little bit, walk up to a store person and ask if Gary the new manager has arrived. They’ll of course be frazzled by the mention of there being a surprise new manager. Say head office said he’d be there by now. Ask for the current manager. Tell them there has been some anonymous complaints and Simpkins from head office ordered you down there on the weekend to investigate. If they ever ask about the complaints, say you can get Simpkins on the phone then start dialling and talk to the other guy “remember that other manager? The one he put in the fridge? I don’t think they ever found the body”. After a bit more inspection, one say “hang on I’ve got to take this call. It’s head office” after a bit say very loudly “ WHAT? No no we’ll try and fix it on this end” tell the manager that someone has been fudging the stocktake and that they’re overstocked a vacuum and a washing machine and Simpkins is furious. Say you’ll take the vacuum and washing machine back to the warehouse and hopefully that should be sorted. Tell them Gary should be in shortly to do the transition

"I'm sorry but 50% off is impossible."

"Are you sure?"

If any of you deadshits tried such an elaborate plan you’d fail at the first hurdle
