RE: Haggling in Mexico & Maddie's Rendition of Despacito (VIDEO)

in #travel7 years ago

I think we need a lot more practice before we can make a video on bargaining tips, but we have found the tactic of acting less interested helps out a lot. For example, last night we wanted to go to a party at this bar, but we knew they had a cover charge (we were told a couple days before that it was 200 pesos). So, instead of walking straight up to the front, we pretended like we were walking past on our way to somewhere else. They had promoters out front who'd probably try to stop us as we walked past.

Sure enough, we were stopped by a promoter. We were told it was a 100 peso cover charge, which was already reduced from the 200 pesos we would've had to pay if we walked straight up to the front. Although we would've gladly paid 100 pesos to get in, we pretended like we weren't interested and we were hinting at walking away. The promoter immediately offered us free cover charge and we walked right in.

By the way, Maddie sang that Despacito rendition when I didn't have the camera rolling. I thought it was entertaining, so I turned the camera on and insisted she sings it again. Glad you enjoyed :)

So True...point definitely noted..coming a cross uninterested is a good tip that I am going try. You need to keep your camera at your finger tips for next time she pulls out more tunes so you can get her in action 💃💛 enjoy your adventures guys 😎
