I am accustomed not to bargain when shopping with traditional traders; and my findings, traders almost always have 'high-level wisdom' to reward their customers.
Like this afternoon, I bought a 2.5 Kg of mango with a mango seller's brother under the Pango bridge and I did not bid the price. But this merchant's brother unexpestedly adds mango to almost 3 Kg. I asked him "bang: why given more ?, do not I ask ?,", he replied "This is my alms to children brother". Very beautiful,!
I always pay attention to 'the wisdom of this model'. For example if you buy chips; almost always given more with a sufficient number with all types of chips are sold. The salesman would say 'this is for a street meal'.
Or fish, shrimp or whatever. With a light hand will add 1 or 2 handfuls of shrimp or some fish even without being asked.
Of course, they have calculated that despite giving a 'bonus', yet they have made sure in a profit position. But is not it when we do not ask them to have a choice of "Give or Not to Giving", but amazingly almost all choose "Giving". Unbelievable are our merchants ?, they are very generous.
So; My message; if shopping at a small merchant; avoid asking for less, even if necessary, pay more. After all the money a thousand or two thousand will not make us fall poor right ?,
Even if Poor fell, is not "Poor and Disappeared Children will be maintained by the State" (Article 34 paragraph 1 of the 1945 Constitution).
