The land of good deals
Ashish Bhatia · 2025-05-25 · via ashishb.net

“The apartment rents are high right now, but we got a good deal”, he said, smiling alongside his roommate.

Another friend said, “We got a good deal on a car loan, so, we took the loan, it’s good for building credit history to buy a house later”.

“The instructor was super-happy with our amazing group. He taught us a few special tricks that he says he rarely taught.”

“The bartender was super-nice to us and made us a special drink”

Earlier, I used to wonder how come, everyone, practically everyone, seems to be getting special deals and treatments till I realized that it was mostly salesmanship on the part of the seller to make the standard treatment look special, exquisite, and exclusive.

The USA is after all the Union of Sales and Advertisement.
