There are many shops in Singapore where customers still bargain,although prices are clearlyshown on the goods.There is nothing out of the ordinary in haggling; some shopkeepersexpect you to and will be surprised if you accept their prices immediately.We know that theprices in some stores are a bit higher than those in Change Alley,but we also realize thatto keep a store likeRobinson's is by no means cheap.Besides,in such places we shop in air-condition (空调)comfort.For all these,we pay a little extra.It is not always true to say that things in Change Alley cost less.I once bought aCzechoslo- vakian glass butter-dish from Robinson's for a little under two dollars.I thenwent on to Change Alley and just by chance saw an article of the same shape,design andsize,in one of the shops.I then asked about its price,and was surprised when the mandemanded more than four dollars for it."How much can you offer?" he shouted at me.Ioffered him exactly the same price I paid for the article and his reply was shockingly rude(粗鲁).I opened my bag,showed him my receipt,stared at him and walked out of his shop.A buyer in England expects to find the price of goods clearly shown,or,to be told exactlywhat the price is.He knows this is the lowest price that will be accepted.If he thinks theprice is beyond what he can afford,he shrugs ( 耸耸) his shoulders and walks away.He doesnot attempt to bargain with the shopkeeper.Even if he showed annoyance or surprise,hewould expect to be to that if the price was unacceptable,he should try elsewhere.请不要用翻译工具
