In many countries, the practice of haggling – that is, negotiating a price – is common. Or else, clients directly ask the retailer for a lower price until the two parties come to an agreement. Non-negotiableAs anyone who has been living here for a while knows – whether Swiss or a foreign national – Switzerland does not have a traditional haggling culture. This applies to all retailers, no matter what merchandise they sell, as well as to restaurants, hotels, public transport, and any service where a set price for a product and/or service is involved. This practice also extends to second-hand stores – whether selling clothes, furniture, electronics, or even larger items like used cars.
