Well... considering that businesses don't offer prices that they aren't comfortable with, what's the harm in asking? Have you never benefited from "knowing" someone?

Handouts? How about getting a competitive quote on some special order tires with speacial circumstances?


Looking for 4 245/40/18 Toyo RA-1. Not T1-R, it's RA-1, the D.O.T. competition tires. They will be mouted on bare rims so there will be no taking on/off a car or unmounting and disposing of old tires. Also will not need any new valve stems. Just need the tires popped on and ballanced is all.

Getting a hookup means asking somebody to give you a price outside of normal selling conditions. Price matching something is completely different. Since most places like that are franchises and owned individually or by a group of investors, workers **** ownership out of their money by giving friends and acquaintances discounts outside of store policy. If you're asking for somebody to sell you tires at the lowest price the store will allow, that's totally fine and nobody has a problem with that. But throwing the word hookup in there gives a new meaning to it.

You have to be kidding... What are you? The new Merriam-Webster? No one implied doing anything outside of normal selling conditions, and with profit margins being so HIGHLY in favor of businesses, there is plenty of room to work with anyway. If you don't agree with someone's philosophy on getting the best value from their dollar, that's fine. Bite your tongue and don't be this righteous ****** posting up your feelings towards capitalist america, which by the way is a two way street and also by the way has little bearing on whether or not the original poster will or will not get his "hookup".

Wow. I made 1 comment about people trying to take handouts, and here come the personal attacks. I never said anything about anyone in particular. Furthermore, I even tried to clear things up by saying that I was only referring to people trying to take handouts. I never meant to be an ***. If that's how you took it, then oh well. And by the way...It's a quarter-million dollar house. It's no mobile home.
