>>20870766>How is it to negociate behind the counter?It's remarkably easy, I never really thought about or consciously recognized the social psychology involved in interactions with people on the other side of a counter (I've never been a cashier or worked retail ever before), but there's an automatic elevation of the respect given to you by the customers, and in scenarios or transactions where that same person would probably argue/haggle or get impatient with an "equal" next to them they are noticeably more polite, helpful, patient/passive and deferential to us "professionals" or "experts" while we're behind the display cases and wrap-around counters, it's a fascinating dynamic that probably explains why Shlomo has been able to manipulate and abuse actual human beings so easily and profitably for the last thousand years.
Anyway check out this load the shop sold to me for $50 flat. I doubled the size of my hometown token collection, got a bunch of big coppers and tiny silvers, and added plenty other interesting pieces including a few old contemporary counterfeits (a c.1800 brass $5 and a copper Spanish 4 real) to the collection. The silver melt value alone is nearly double what they charged and there are several coins worth a decent numismatic premium but they treat me well, I love working at the coin shop so goddamn much lol.
