aBc of bargaining

Would they consider starting a school of bargaining - I will be the first one to join. And shopkeepers in Mumbai would really hate them.

These two girls got a pair of jeans and a shirt for 200 bucks in Mumbai. Guess what was the price the shopkeeper quoted - 750 bucks. But more importantly guess what was the price they started bargaining with - well 50 bucks!!

In case you are marveling at the capacity of the one quoting this price to hold back her laughter; I would say marvel more at her companion who listened to this and not only not laughed but also backed her.

And if you are wondering what shopkeeper's reaction was - "Madam, you would not get a hanky for this much!"

If you also want the school to be started sign the petition I will soon put up.
