Re: TIS - This Is Switzerland
I feel like I've been in Switzerland too long. Bought an item online with a 4 figure value:
1. Just paid asking price without bargaining
2. On arrival to pick up the item, the guy handed over a cardboard box - I just stuck it on the bike without checking
3. The guy spontaneously reduced the price by 5 CHF without prompting (presumably to avoid having the peasant task of dealing with coins)
In Hong Kong, the SOP when buying electronics even at a brick and mortar store was to test the item and never let it out of sight even during payment as there were cases of store workers pretending to put the item back in the box and bag it out of view by the counter, when in fact, they would replace it with a brick.
