[Carlton-B19251]

If you are in a business where you can recycle your estimates as invoices and the customers don’t question the price, I want to be a partner! I really think you need to check your expectations about that. I have never heard of it as a standard business practice. I sense that the discomfort comes mostly from having to bargain. Americans and Europeans for some reason are deathly afraid of bargaining, whereas the rest of the world accepts it as a way of life. This is kind of funny considering that the US is supposed to be the crown jewel of the free market. Last, the reason this may be tied into race is because a lot of Indian immigrants come from a long line of small-business owners and have a lot of business sense. I’ve read that it is a caste thing…the ‘entrepreneur caste’ is the only caste that would have not only the reasons but also the means to come to the US. Many Americans assume that most immigrants are uninformed and deferential and end up quite surprised by these Indians.
