Most times when we walk into big malls,
boutiques, supermarkets, we never question
their prices. We pay exactly what we see on
the price tags and even hand out tips to the
staff.
But the moment we are out of these shops
and want to buy banana, our bargaining game
gets off to the roof. Poor widow with 12
hungry children at home tells you banana is Ksh
5.00 She even takes out her time to explain
how difficult it was for her to even buy it, how
the economy is so tough.
But we insist that if it's not Ksh2.00 we are not
paying. Some of us even step back into our
cars and make to drive away. But because she
needs something for Paraffin this woman is
forced to call you back and sell to you at little
or no gain. In her heart, she cries, she's
worried about how she'll survive with her
children. She silently reassures herself that
'It's well.
God will definitely provide.'' While you happily
chop the luscious banana. Take some seconds
out and think about this, guys. Am always
moved to tears when I see people who
genuinely and helplessly hawk petty goods to
feed and survive for that day, especially
women and children. Please don't bargain
hard with small vendors like this. They do
business not to buy designer bags, Gucci
shoes and designer clothes but to LIVE and
EAT for that day and the children share the
remaining money to take to school the next
day (that's if there's any left).
"He who gives to the poor lends to his maker"
SHARE this message and let the CHANGE start
from you today.
GOD BLESS YOU
