I've found this to be a very much cultural thing. Bargaining / haggling is quite common in Asian cultures. Since I'm originally from India, I initially was surprised to find that haggling is not an acceptable thing in the american society.
That hasnt stopped me from my efforts at haggling one bit.
My latest conquest - a free shield and case for my iphone when bestbuy made me wait for about 45 minutes to get a new connection. Even before starting with the process, I made it clear that I want freebies thrown in - else,I'll simply take my business elsewhere.
- arnorhs 17y agoHeh, I can imagine that it must have been a shock! I've been traveling through India for the last few months and at first I had a really hard time haggling. Westerners feel guilty and have all kinds of emotions fixed to this process, while it's commonplace in India. I think Indians have a big advantage in that aspect. BTW: I love your country and GJ on the shield case :)
