Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries discounts are common during seasonal sales (e.g., "rebajas" in Spain) or for specific groups such as students, seniors, or members of a loyalty program. When asking, keep a friendly tone and add a polite word like "por favor" if you want to sound extra courteous: "¿Podrían darme algún descuento, por favor?"
