A recession question is generally asked by a customer to a business. It is asked to find out if there is a way of saving money with a desired purchase.

Example 1:

Woman (upon entering TGI FRIDAYS): Excuse me, yes, I have a recession question, umm...I saw a commercial on TV sayin' you had menu items starting from $6.99...is that like, ONE item or is it more than that...can I see a menu?

Example 2:

Employee: Welcome to McDonalds, can I take your order?
Woman: Is the fish sandwich still just a dollar this week or...whas' goin on with that?

Example 3:
