Most Of Us Are Guilty Of This.. Please Don't Just Read For Reading Sake by toaskid(m): 10:54pm On Jan 10, 2016 |
We are all guilty of this
Most times when we walk into big malls,
boutiques, supermarkets, we never question their
prices. We pay exactly
what we see on the price tags and even hand out tips
to the staff.
But the moment we are out of these shops and
want to buy banana, our bargaining game gets off to
the roof. Poor widow with 12 hungry children at home
tells you banana is #100. She even takes out her time
to explain how difficult it was for her to even buy it,
how the economy is so tough.
But we insist that if it's not #50, we are not
paying. Some of us even step back into our cars and
make to drive away. But because 'half bread is better
chin chin', this woman is forced to call you back and
sell to you at little or no gain. In her heart, she cries,
she's worried about how she'll survive with her
children. She silently reassures herself that 'It's well.
God will definitely provide.'' While you happily
chop the luscious banana. Take some seconds out and
think about this, guys. Am always moved to tears when
I see people who genuinely and helplessly hawk petty
goods to feed and survive for that day, especially
women and children. Please don't bargain hard with
small vendors like this. They do business not to buy
designer bags, Gucci shoes and designer clothes but to
LIVE and EAT for that day and the children share the
remaining money to
take to school the next day (that's if there's any left).

I also feel the pain when I see especially children hawking.for the bargain aspect the hawkers don't have price tag so pricing their their goods isn't a bad idea. |
