I used to work at Soho Soundhouse in London, which apart from Sound Control (although they both are owned by the same company) was the biggest, most corporate store in London.

As it turned out, you actually could haggle with us on everything, as the staff were paid a commision (yes only commision...which is why I quit), it was up to the salesman as to what price he sold gear at...as long as it was above a certain ratio...it lead to some bitchiness, for instance one salesperson would be dealing with a customer and he'd say "well, I just cant sell it you for that little" at which point a cheekier salesman would but in with "well, I can, right this was sir"

was rather funny to watch, but **** when it happened to you
