【题干】There are many shops in Singapore where customers still bargain , although prices are clearly shown on the goods. There is nothing out of the ordinary in haggling; some shopkeepers expect you to and will be surprised if you accept their prices immediately. We know that the prices in some stores are a bit higher than those in Change Alley ,but we also realize that to keep a store like Robinson's is by no means cheap. Besides , in such places we shop in air- conditioned(空调)com- fort. For all these , we pay a lttle extra.
It is not always true to say that things in Change Alley cost less. I once bought a Czechoslo-vakian glass butter dish from Robinson's for a lttle under two dollars. I then went on to a Change Alley and just by chance saw an article of the same shape , design and size ,in one of the shops. I then asked about its price , and was surprised when the man demanded more than four dollars' for it“How much can you offer?" he shouted at me. I offered him exactly the same price I paid for the article and his reply was shockingly rude. I opened my bag, showed him my receipt, stared at him and walked out of his shop.
A buyer in England expects to find the price of goods clearly shown, or, to be told exactly
what the price is. He knows this is the lowest price that will be accepted. If he thinks the price is beyond what he can afford , he shrugs(耸耸)his shoulders and walks away. He does not attempt to bargain with the shopkeepers. Even if he showed annoyance or surprise ,he would expect to be told that if the price was unacceptable ,he should try elsewhere.
