A woman haggled an egg seller down to a steep discount, then tipped $200 on a $150 restaurant bill. The story shows how we squeeze those who need money and overpay those who don't, calling one negotiation and the other generosity.
50 cents per egg
Six eggs for $2
$150
$200
A lady asked an old street vendor, how much do you sell your eggs for? The old man replied, 50 cents an egg, madam. The lady responded, I'll take six eggs for $2 or I'm leaving. The old salesman replied, buy them at the price you want, madam. This is a good start for me because I haven't sold a single egg today and I need this to live. She bought her eggs at a bargain price and left with the feeling that she had won. Later that day, she went to a fancy restaurant with her friend. They ordered what they wanted, ate a little, and left a lot of what they had asked for. The bill was $150. The ladies gave $200 and told the fancy restaurant owner to keep the change as a tip. This story might seem quite normal to the owner of the fancy restaurant, but. But it is very unfair to the egg seller. Have you ever wondered why we tend to assert our dominance when purchasing from those in need? And why do we often display generosity toward those who already have plenty and don't require it? There's a story about a father who would intentionally buy items from less fortunate vendors at higher prices, even when he had no real use for them. On some occasions, he paid far more than what was asked. Curious about his actions, his children questioned him one day. Dad, why do you do that? With a gentle smile, the father replied, it's a form of kindness disguised as respect. Most people might overlook or dismiss a message like this.
