First off Please do not be offended by this:
Ive been in retail for about 8 years now and something ive noticed and anyone who has worked in retail and says this isnt true... well must have only worked 2 hours a week.
Certain people from certain countrys (I'm not naming any as I do not know specifically where they are from)
Seem to have no reguard for retail stores, they open boxes, leave open merchandise on the floor, try to hide things inside other items and try to come up with some of the wildest loop hole deals so that they get something for practically no money and when it doesnt work they became unnessarly angery and feel that you are cheating them.
I also work through delivery business for a fortune 500 company it seems that 8 out of 10 people that are questionably fraudulent "My box of a $1000 projector was empty" have a tradtioanlly foreign name and accent. I Know im talking about two issues here but is business differnt in other countrys is this normal practice?

I wanted to quickly thank everyone for not taking this personally or as an insult.

In third world countries, bargaining is a way of life-never accept the first price when buying something. Their way of life is not as organized and they are not use to the way you do business. You would probably be as lost in their world, trying to do business.
They will learn, with time.

Britain, so by default, it's "colonial" outposts, has never had a history of bargaining or haggling. Most other countries, and cultures, do. I have a jewish friend who, in semi-parody, goes in to a state of shock if he has to pay retail.

I really think that people from certain countries actually think we owe them something for coming to our country and increasing our welfare roles.

I like the Japanese, but they have weird shopping habits.
