Would You Ask ?

[Scott Hutchinson]

I went with my wife to my local Advanced Auto Parts to buy some spark plugs ,as we were paying for the spark plugs ,I ask the guy if they had any caps to give away.
I think I embarrassed my wife ,of course my father in law is a regular there.
Would you go to a parts house or bank and ask them if they have any caps to give away if you do business there ?
BTW they did give me a free cap.
I have a friend whom I pick music with ,and when he goes to car lot to buy a truck or car ,he tells the salesman if they want his business they need throw in some caps or something.
He went to music store to buy a amplifier ,and he asked the salesman to throw in a guitar strap and some strings, the guy said we can't do that , my friend well across town they'll cut me a deal on this amplifier ,anyways my friend bought the amp and came away with a strap, some strings and a free used mic stand.
