Morocco: Bargaining is always expected inthe shopping markets. Here bargaining is
‘more than just getting the best price. If you go into a shop and agree tothe frst price
a seller offers, the seller may not be happy. For Moroccans, bargaining isa form of
entertainment; it’s a game of sil a litle bit of acting, and it’s a chance to chat about
the weather, business, and family. So be sure to have fun and try to get a better price!
‘Switzerland: Bargaining is not the custom here. Shop clerks can almost never give you
a lower price. However, some hotels may give you a lower rate
during the less popular times of year. can't hurt to ask
Tahiti: Bargaining is not appropriate in the South Pacific.
In fact, itis considered disrespectful to ask fora better price
Inthe food markets, sellers will even take their fruits and
