Lowering prices isn't the same as haggling. Haggling is going to see some salespeople lowering the price more or less for some people vs others, and open them up for a massive discrimination class action lawsuit.
- matt-attack 8y ago> salespeople lowering the price more or less for some people vs others Agreed. Why must that naturally lead to the idea of discrimination? If I'm selling a car privately, and a buyers arrives and agrees to pay my full asking price, have I discriminated against him, even though I know secretly I would have taking $1k less than asking, had he merely asked?
- mgkimsal 8y agoif you're a larger company, defending yourself against charges of allowing discriminatory behavior would just be too costly. why allow it?
