My favourite negotiation story happened almost 20 years ago...
If you bought one item at McDonald's you could get one tiny beanie baby.
OK, I'll admit we were obsessed with them and went to McDonald's often (sometimes several times a day). I would go through the drive-through and make one purchase and Cole would run inside and make another order so that we could get more beanies.
On one trip, Cole asked for a cheeseburger happy meal and then said he would like 3 beanie babies. The cashier said "no that's just one item so you can only have one beanie baby".
So Cole said "OK I'll have one hamburger..one french fry...and one pop."
The guy shook his head and gave him a happy meal and the 3 beanie babies.
Sometimes in order to get what you want, you just have to "think outside the Bag"!
