If you're in a tourist in a poor or developing nation and someone gives you a price, don't haggle. Just pay it.
I feel like I see shit like this on my feed all the time. Some dude goes to India and they want to buy, say, a drink at some stall. The vendor says 60 cents, but than the tourist gets all pissed off and goes 'Nuh uh. I see you selling it for 10 cents to locals'. Then they haggle it down to that price or beneath.
Dude, it doesn't matter. That amount of money is fucking NOTHING to you. It's not like they're charging you 100 USD. Congrats, you saved 50c. Maybe you can buy a canned fanta from a vending machine now. I'm sure some people will say 'it's the principle of the matter'. If that makes you feel better, then whatever. You win.
