Just wondering if people bargain at the LFS. If I buy $40 worth of stuff, I'll ask if the owner can do $35 for it and usually he says yes. At the very least, LFS owners won't charge you tax, especially if you've been a long time customer. But I'm surprised when I see people at the fish store buying $150 filters and paying tax. I guess in this country, people aren't use to haggling, but in Asia, everybody bargains and since many LFS owners are Asian, they have no problem knocking off a few bucks.
