30 Industry Secrets That Customers Aren’t Supposed to Know About

Thanks to Reddit, we can learn all kinds of things that frankly aren’t any of our business — like the random secrets people are hiding from their significant others, or the intricacies of marriages that were obviously doomed from the start. 

But beyond the nosiness, Reddit is also a place for learning useful tips — like the fact that asking for an itemized version of your hospital bill can bring down the price, or that mechanics tend to treat clean cars better than dirty ones. 

This is the information that Redditors shared when asked about the little industry secrets that customers shouldn’t be privy to. A special shoutout to the person who disclosed how to get a discount from an online retailer. There should be a statue erected in your honor.
