Question
I am someone's agent to purchase a product, and if I ask for a discount, it will be given it to me; however, I do not feel comfortable asking for a discount, and it doesn’t even occur to the sender to ask for one. Do I have the right to ask for a discount and take the difference for myself? It is important to emphasize that if I can’t keep the difference, I will not request a discount because it is unpleasant to me.
Answer
Hello and best wishes
The discount belongs to the sender and not to the agent.
