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 banana, our bargaining game gets
off to the roof. Poor widow with hungry
children at
home tells you banana 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
paying.
Some of us even step back into our cars and
make to drive away. But because 'half bread is
better than chin chin', 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
chop the luscious banana. Take some seconds
out and
think about this.
I'm always moved to tears
when I see people who genuinely and
helplessly
hawk petty goods to feed and survive for that
day,
especially women and children. Please don't
bargain hard with small vendors like this. They
do business not to buy designer bags, Gucci
shoes and
designer clothes but to LIVE and EAT for that
day
and the children share the remaining money to
take to school the next day (that's if there's any
left).
