See, I get that from this post. What I find baffling is the concept that bargaining is supposed to be something one does NOT do- which would be the negative connotation you show. After all, if the seller doesn't wish to bargain, they can just say 'take it or leave it.' My upbringing was such that, not bargaining was a sign that you were either lazy or ignorant of the actual value of goods (I SUCK at bargaining, is partly why I don't shop where bargaining is expected).

I did spend my elementary school years in a community that was Jewish-influenced. Maybe that's why I was spared this variety of hatespeak?
