Paris Hilton was in Japan recently and, dressed in a black sweatsuit like some kind of horrible celebu-ninja, she slunk into a branch of Daikokuya in Tokyo, a pawn shop that does big business in second hand luxury goods. The star of THE HILLZ bought 28 items, but after getting a 5% discount for a tax reduction she asked for another discount. The store gave her another 5%. Then she asked for another discount, which the store refused because it's straight up ghetto to go in a pawn shop and haggle and they knew it. And they knew that she should know it. Trying to change the subject, the owner asked for Paris' autograph, but she refused unless she got a further discount. The owner agreed to give her a 10% discount, and got her autograph as a reward. He says:
"Her signature was really cute. When all the girls here remarked on how cute it was, she mimicked us, saying 'kawaii (cute)' in Japanese. She seemed like a sensible sort of person, even if she was a tightwad."
