    I'm so impressed with the deals that you find! I didn't realise it would be possible to stretch a dollar so much in NYC, but I guess it's just a case of knowing where to go. Thanks for sharing this series!

      It's real easy. Just start small talk and walk your way up and learn more and just overall expand and agree with them. It's best if you know a bit about them such as their ethnicity and expand off that kinda.

      Exactly! Just show interest. The secret is to just be open and curious :)))))

      It's not easy in New York unless you're really attractive like he is. His natural smile looks good as well but many people don't have that advantage, so they may look weird trying to smile while talking. Most people will be cold af and not want to talk, thinking you are annoying or weird especially store staff in crowded places.
