I once heard a story from a friend of mine who went to Greece. She was walking through the street market and wanted to buy something. The man gave her a price and she accepted and paid. She didn’t understand why everyone was laughing at her until a native of Greece told her you NEVER agree to the initial offer. Haggling is just part of life in other countries, but because Americans are so used to paying retail it seems quite strange to us.
