Haggling over a pricing structure

Haggling over a pricing structure with Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson recently came to the arts and crafts store I own looking to buy equipment for the wardrobe department for his latest movie.

He asked if we could quickly fill a large order of cloth-cutting shears.

I told him yes, but given the rush, we couldn’t offer a bulk discount.

For the next hour, Mr. Johnson haggled with me, insisting on paying a single, reduced price for the order of shears rather than the standard per-item price.

With my frustration growing, Mr. Johnson wouldn’t back down.

Finally, he made a desperate attempt to get the deal he wanted: he suggested we play any simple game of my choice; winner sets the price structure for the shears.

He then asked me what I wanted to play.

Unable to hold back my aggravation, I shouted: ROCK, PAPER, SCISSORS!
