Customer and salesman

Bargaining between The customer and the salesman.

Customer: How much does the wristwatch cost?

Salesman: It costs Rs. 5000.

Customer: Why do you sell that much? It seems pricey to me.

Salesman: It has advanced features such as predicting weather and unbreakable glass.

Customer: Oh Sounds interesting. Nevertheless, can you sell it at a discounted price?

Salesman: I can reduce the cost by a 2% discount.

Customer: I still expect more. I mean 5% discount less.

Salesman: That's unreasonable. I won't see a profit.

Customer: Okay, let's close the deal with a 3% discount.

Salesman: Yes, It works. Are you going to pay by cash or online payment?

Customer: I will pay online.

Please check them, especially the underlined words.
