I should have made a resolution long T, but I'm glad I waited. Here:
I, the 27th Comrade, will never a-friggin'-gain haggle with a salesman. Ever.
You see, if I have to haggle, I'm fighting with the lying salesman's wits. And I usually lose, and then I go to the next stall and I find the starting price is 25% of what I spent already.
``Give I my money back!''
``Sole. Ob'ozaagala, jjangu tulwaane. Gwe!'', he calls other salesmen, ``On'omuyaaye ayagala kunziba ...''
And I run away.
I have just bought me something at Shs. 50,000, thinking I got a bargain. Then the same thing, starting price 20,000/= less, at another stall. Frig.
I hate to feel this defeated. I'm not going to buy from any negotiable-price places. If my comrades can't treat me with respect, to hell with them. I'll live Communist, buy Capitalist.

I hope it wasn't jeans or a garment of any sort. That would be immoral.
No. But I'm still ashamed about it.
We buy Chinese Galvin Kleins and stuff so that we may fake the world that we did not haggle. At least I still got that right -- I'm going to resell in dollars. The stuff looks good. Anybody wanna buy fakes?
This is a simulpost, Baz.
you need a shopping advisor/directory!
but also,you could try window shopping first!
Window shopping ... I suck at that kind of thing. When I see what I want, I go like `Heh! Gimme, gimme, gimme!'
Then the tears follow.
Hehehehe so much for feeling a bargainer
