Half an hour negotiating? FUCK that. That's for poor people scraping for a few bucks a day to live on. If you live in California, Texas, etc., you live close enough to Mexico that you have some experience and realize what to pay for shit. If something "costs" $40, it actually costs about $2.50, but they'll be happy as shit to sell it to you for $5. Give them $10 'cause all things considered, are you really that big of an asshole that you're going to jew down a full day salary, what you're going to spend on your next shitty tequila shot? Maybe, but you still shouldn't.

If you speak the language you get perks. Starting prices in Mexico are cut in half if you speak Spanish. I can only imagine the sand nigger discount.

Creeping around as I please nonchalantly like any other Supreme Emperor might.
