It’s funny because I was at a store I think it was krogers and some person smashed a can of corn and said they like a discount, they just gave the person another can and said, enjoy lol
@@tomnoxious8596 Right?. Then ya have some Goof on you tube telling people to ask for more off on markdown crap. Probably the same people wanting $50 minimum wage.
I’ll look at the product inside the box , make sure it has no damage. Then tell the customer we will throw away the damaged box for them and they can pay full price!😎
Another HD tip: it’s not a discounted item unless the original price is also shown on the tag. Just because it’s printed on yellow paper doesn’t mean it’s marked down. Clearance items will end with $.06 or $.03. This indicates how many more weeks it will be in the store. After that it goes back to the vendor or onto the dumpster. If you see a clearance item with $.06 you can wait and possibly get a bigger discount when it’s 3 weeks out but you take a chance on the item not being there any longer. As for damaged packaging the vendor replaces item that are damaged or unsalable so the store has no incentive to discount the item except for customer relations.
You do know Home Depot allows their associates to mark down the price of items by as much as $50? All you have to do is ask. That's how I got a Makita drill/impact kit for $112. I know their rules so I can avoid paying retail.
For anyone saying you can't get a lower price, you gotta go find a manager, or assistant manager because most likely they have sales quotas that need to be met in order for them to get a bonus or something of that sort. And those items just sitting there collecting dust isn't helping them. And in the case of items like those makhita trimmers, those are on clearance because they haven't sold well at all, which means they most likely just want them gone and out of the store so they'd be more likely cut a deal. You guys also don't realize that those products that don't sell, just get thrown out because it's more cost efficient for the business to throw it out, than have it sit their and not sell.
You must have some nice people at the counter where you're at. Here there's one home depot for a two hour radius. You bring them something to discount its gonna be a hard no.

Actually HD isn't supposed to discount clearance items because the store ends up taking the full markdown instead of the vendor. If they do you have a dumb service desk.
Hd employees are allowed to offer a discount for customer service, but taking an item to the desk to try and barter isn’t the way to get it. They are not running a thrift shop or a flea market.
Every associate has the power to offer up to a $50 discount. Managers can go up to $100. Store managers can do even more. You just have to give them a reason
See this is why should start attacking snatch and grabbers so we can start getting deals on overpriced new products when the criminals drop and damage products containers
@@ToolswithSoAlz so when you list the item you put down that the box was damaged you opened it up and checked items before you sell them or do you put down they are new?
Lol Asm will ask if we get credit for it and they’ll just mark it down the store get more. Worked at thd for 7 years. And you’ll get the box is damaged not the product. The nail gun is clearance at regular price not good deal
I’m not getting a damaged box down from overhead just so someone can get a discount 💀. I’m sorry but if there’s still some below I’m not going overhead for that reason alone.
I've worked in retail, I'll never be caught doing this. Save youre money and pay the price, or buy it on amazon. Stop bargaining with huge corporations...
Thats you and thats cool, but anytime i can get some money out of those huge corporations i do. I am also not made of money so anytime I can save a buck I'm all over it.

Was a manager at Lowes for a time and he's not incorrect. Totally just depends on who you ask.. I was the one that woulda let it go for $20. Couldn't stand messy stuff like that making my aisles look junky so I wanted it gone. I woulda started at $50 but would've went lower till it was gone.

They do come with warranty but you are asking someone to risk thier job if you ask for a discount on a yellow tag. Dont be that guy just because you are cheap.
They can approve higher than that, if it's a very high amount Store or District Managers can get involved and do higher amounts, for a $100,000 Order I saw $10,000 markdown

What if it's marked down because of the hole in the Box to $68
And the other three?
Buying returns is not a good idea. Total gamble.
