Why Do People Haggle Prices With Hawkers But Dont Do That With Supermarkets? by amzee(op):
On March 6 2016,I went to a popular supermarket with my Aunt to get some items. So on our way back she decided to branch the market. She wants to buy some pieces of yam from an old man and you need to see the way she was hassling/bargaining the price with the man. She bargained the price from #2,500 to #1,600 and when I told her to add #50 for the man,mehn you need to see the way she looked at me.
Back in the supermarket she didnt even bother to reduce the price by #5.


Why is it so?

Haggle not hassle.

Answering your question, it all bore down to packaging. That alone is business lesson for entrepreneurs
