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 roasted plantain, our bargaining game gets off to
the roof. Poor widow with hungry children at home tells
you roasted plantain is N100. 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 N50, we are not
buying. Some of us even step back into our cars and
make to drive away.
But because 'half bread is better than nothing, 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
eat the luscious roasted plantain.
Take some seconds out and think about this. Please
don't bargain hard with small vendors like this. They do
business not to buy designer bags, Gucci shoes but to
LIVE and EAT!
THINK ABOUT IT!
