Where not to sit on business class

If you're traveling business class by plane, do your very best to avoid the last row of the cabin. That's where families with babies using skycots attached to the wall are seated on economy. Avoid that last row seat if you're headed on a long trip and you're tired or in desperate need for some rest during the flight. You will be thankful later.

If you can't be seated anywhere else, perhaps it would be a good idea to ask if the airline can give you a discount.

T-shirt discount advertising

Businesses could advertise by giving t-shirt freebies to customers with their company logo and slogan on them. If customers wear it when they shop they get a 5% discount. This will encourage them to wear it and advertise the discount and the business to other people as well.

Discount to Kill. Only in America!!

How do you know if the price is right in America? You count the dead bodies. I love the ironies in free-market capitalism practiced only in USnA. The seller gives a deadly discount thinking this will help his business when it actually hurts it. If the buyer's dead the only one who gets new business is the funeral services company next door and perhaps a few lawyers to deal with the lawsuit to the seller for giving out the deadly discounts in the first place. In America people work hard and kill for a discount. Of course, when they do that the only thing that gets discounted is the kill. In the Middle East foreigners work hard and we the locals kill time or if we have too much of it then some of our diehards kill foreigners. It's Kill (the store's) Bill vs Kill (the) Rolex (guys)!

People in the USnA think of us as terrorists but the USnA has now its own new breed of terrorists. The Al Qaedas kill to right what they mistakenly think as wrong. The American Discount Terrorists kill to get the price right, or never get it at all if they end up dead! So how do you know if the price's right in America? You check the obituaries first :)

Did you notice that no one ever reports the deadly price of the toy over which people got killed in America? Was it that cheap really they didn't want more people to get killed?? :))

Reduce rental car tank refill charges

Car rental companies charge ridiculously high prices per-gallon if the customer doesn't return the car full tank. Makes profit, sure, but also makes customers unhappy. Why not give small discounts (say $5-$10) to all customers who return the car full tank and charge a progressive flat fee (say $1-$10) on empty tanks based on the amount that has to be refilled? Customers on empty tanks will be penalized less than if they had to pay on a per-gallon basis and everyone gets the incentive to return the car full tank. The discount can also help lure more customers to the company.

bring your own drink to the bar. Get a discount

You go to a bar where they serve a beer for 4 euros when they bought it for 2 euros. Their profit is 2 euros. What is there was a place where you could bring your own drink and you just had to pay the profit to the bar. In this case bring your own beer and just pay 2 euros!

There could be two prices in the catalogue. One for those who bring the drinks on their own and one for those who order the drink at the bar. It's up to the customer if he thinks it's better for his budget to bring his own drink

Reader's Reward

When I buy a book to read, I spend money to buy the author's wisdom, knowledge and thinking process. I reward him for his time and effort. As a reader, however, I also give up my time from doing other activities to read the book. Shouldn't my effort and time also be rewarded? I propose that out of the retail price of any book $1 is discounted at the time of the purchase and the discount is symbolically given the name 'Reader's Reward'. What do you think? Is it fair?
