Was I being unreasonable trying for a 73p discount

[NisekoWhistler]

Just picked up 6.2kg turkey, it came to £89.73 so I said got the butchers, is that £89 then? He flatly refused.
Yes yes I know you wouldn't try this in waitrose but neither would you have to pay £14.50 a kg (my husband's decision to use this butchers, not mine)

Was I being unreasonable to consider asking?

Yes. It's 73p.

Yes YABU

Bit cheeky maybe. But if you don't ask, you don't get!

You don't ask you don't get as the saying goes. Ywnbu to ask so long as you accepted his answer. Enjoy your turkey bet it'll be lovely.

I would have just given him £90 and left it at that.

Of course you were.

Er I would have given him £90! That’s much easier to round too. Yes very cheeky to ask.

Why not go the other way?
Butcher: so that's £90 then.
Niseko: err... no it isn't.

I think you’d be unreasonable to expect it, but not necessarily unreasonable to ask. You don’t ask, you don’t get.

Yanbu. The local Butcher usually rounds it off to the pound. Maybe as it was a posh butchers it was not exceptable.

Yabu

It’s 73p just pay the butcher without a fuss ffs. If you can afford £89 for a turkey, 73 bloody pence is hardly going to break you and I do find it embarrassing you tired this tbh

Yabu

YWNBU to ask I suppose but I hope you didn't kick off when he said no

How much?
Dear god. I’d want it to cook it’s self and deal with Boxing Day too for that.

I would have also handed over £90

£89 for a turkey misses point

I’m a vegetarian so clueless about the price of meat. Is this a normal cost? How many people would you feed for £90.00 ?

Why are you trying to basically take money from an independent butcher? You’d sharp have something to say if he kindly rounded it up for you 🙄

Stealth boast guys

I'd never get a turkey that big in my oven! Are you freezing it now?

YANBU.

He should have charged 80.

Where will you shop next year?

I think you were really rude and a CF. You wouldn't haggle with the richer shops so why do it with a sole trader?

YANBU - the price displayed on an item is merely an 'invitation to treat' which means you are within your rights to haggle - by the same token which allows shops to refuse a sale if an item is accidentally labelled with the wrong price.

I wouldn't have bothered for 73p - but I wouldn't have thought it odd had I been behind you in the queue.

Look after the pennies (etc.)
