Kultureller Hintergrund
Bargaining (Fisāl) is a social expectation. A seller might start with a high price, expecting you to negotiate. It's a sign of respect for the value of the item. The concept of 'Barakah' (blessing) in trade. Sellers often say 'Allāh yubārik lak' (May God bless it for you) after a sale is completed. Street vendors often have melodic chants to 'sell' their goods, like the 'Ka'ak' or 'Juice' sellers in Beirut or Damascus. Modern luxury malls coexist with traditional 'Souks'. In the Souk, selling is still very personal, whereas in malls, it follows global corporate standards.
