Am I a CF to go to the takeaway and ask for a discount?

[Clape]

So I’m trying to lose weight. Have done quite well, 23 pounds down. One of my most favourite meals is chicken marinated in tandoori spices cooked on the bbq with a lovely salad. I am OBSESSED with eating this salad with a sauce that comes from our local Lebanese takeaway. It cost £4 for a tiny little pot. Would I be really cheeky to go into the shop and ask if they can do be a much larger container for a fair amount. It’s a tomato based sauce so not expensive to produce. To get the amount I would need we’re talking it costing maybe three figures. I’m not joking. That’s how small the pots are. I don’t think there’s any harm in asking?

Obviously I don’t want to be rude or offensive either. If it wasn’t SO expensive of course the idea of haggling would not even enter my mind and I would just pay the going rate

Are you sure? Have you asked them?

Not buying more. The way I read the post is she wanted to get more product but pay less because it was just "tomato based" implying it didn't cost that much to make, and didn't require much effort. No one is stopping her from buying more at the established price. I applaud that. But I think she wants a deal (nothing wrong with that) and in order to justify that she is devaluing the cost of making the sauce. I have an issue with that.

@KM123456 OP clarified yesterday that she just meant buying a bigger pot, like a family size one rather than lots of separate tiny pots.

The language she used about discounts confused things a bit, but she did come back to clear that up.

Why do you need so much of the sauce that it’s £100+ worth? Are you planning to eat it every single day?

I absolutely LOVE the pieces of tandoori chicken aswell from our local Indian- don't get me wrong I love all the rices & sauces, popadoms & nann breads yum 🤤 but I love the tandori chicken & I would actually love it with a salad- I absolutely don't think your being unreasonable at all? It just shows them how much you love their food? Do they know u well? I'd not have a problem asking for a large tub of the sauce- would it keep a while though? I'm sure they wouldn't be offended by you asking- go for it & good luck 🥰🥰

I would tell them that you love the sauce so much and that you want to buy a bigger proportion and then suggest the idea that they start selling bottles of their sauce. Now they’ve got a new income stream and you are their first customer!
