I guess the term "large discount" is relative, as often than not I don't have to ask since shop owners outlay the difference up front, usually 15 to 20% discount for cash. Luckily for me it has usually been for paintwork since I do most mechanical work myself, I can fortunately count on one hand the number of times I've done the cash thing. IMO if you can save money and the shop owner can do the same with a green payment it's a win-win.
BTW....pulling out a wad of cash would generate a major eye roll on my end also, it would evoke images of Little Enos from Smokey and the Bandit.
