Haggling might be fine but they have to honor price tags.
If I'm in a grocery store and I see $1.00 they can't change it and try to charge me $1.10, and when I object and say it was $1.00 it shows $1.10 now.
This is why american taxes had me confused when over there.. it says $1.00 on the pricetag, so how can they tell me a different price at the register??
The price of the item hasn't changed, it's just that they didn't include tax in the price. Yes, it's stupid.
Well... In Germany apparently they can.
The price tag is not binding, it is a mere price suggestion. The final price is the one when you actually buy it at the checkout.
