    Here you go. All I wanted to know about was haggling in other cultures from their point of view.

    Actually, I’m gonna go ahead and delete the reddit post. Here is the title and body of it for preservation purposes:

    Are there any cultures where either today or historically it was considered rude NOT to haggle?

    Like in the scene from Life of Brian, where he goes to buy something from a street vender, and when he pays the initial asking price the vender gets upsets and forces him to haggle. Does this happen in real life? I suppose in a culture where haggling is normal, if a vender intentionally sets a high initial price and then the person just pays it, they could feel like they were given too much money for the item. But money is money, you know?
