Bargaining Etiquette in Bangladesh

Bargaining is normal in Bangladesh at bazaars, street markets, rickshaw rides, and with many informal vendors, so it is expected to negotiate politely rather than accept the first price. Start with a friendly smile, keep the tone light, and know that fixed-price shops, supermarkets, and many restaurants usually do not haggle, while in places like New Market or local handicraft stalls a little back-and-forth is part of the experience.
