While wintering in AZ we make frequent day trips to Mexico. We soon learned that you never, ever pay the asking price of anything. Because of this I was appalled when I observed a tourist (definitely a first-timer) asking a young Hispanic what she could buy for her children. She said she had three and wanted to spend $10 on each of them. Well, his eyes lit up like the Fourth of July as he offered her cheap trinkets, stating , "These each cost $10." I couldn't keep still any longer. I pointed out another stand where she could get a lot more for her money. After she left I asked the young man the price of his ceramic peppers. His quick reply was, "For you, lady, $100."
