    Haggling makes sense for transactions revolving around used cars, bulk goods and the like. A grocery store is a completely different setting. Everyone expects that they’re getting the same deal for a given location. Kind of feels too close to what is legally considered fraud to be feasible.

      I’m not sure there is a difference between those things in the German law.

      As I said, in Germany the price tag is a mere price suggestion, the final offer and transaction happens on checkout.

      In my case it was an electronic article, where the price tag showed a much lower price and the cashier then demanded much more. But it turned out that they can do that.
