Not really. Customer services just push buttons anyway.

It's like paying for your shopping at Sainsbury's - you can't put all your stuff on the conveyor and then offer the assistant 10% less than the total (unless you have a coupon or similar), just as you can't if you do the same shop online.

The only 'haggling' possible is with retentions, and even then they only have access to a number of deals, you can't name your price!
