Most times wen we walk into big , boutiques, supermarkets, we never question dia prices. We pay exactly wat we see on the price tags.
But d 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 dat if it's not 50, we are not paying. Some of us even tend to walk away.
But bcos 'half bread is beta kwuri kwuri', dis woman is forced to call u back and sell to u at little or no gain. In her heart, she cries, she's worried about how she'll survive wit her children. She silently reassures herself that 'It's well.
God will definitely provide.'' While u happily chop d luscious banana.
Oga, Take some seconds out and think about dis. Am always moved wen I see pple who genuinely and helplessly hawk petty goods 2 feed and survive for dat day, especially women and children.
Pls don't bargain hard with small vendors like dis. Dey do business not 2 buy designer bags, Gucci shoes and designer clothes but 2 LIVE and EAT 4 dat day and the children share d remaining money among demselves to take to school the next day (dat's if there's any left).
