India: Flower vendors follow norm of fixed-rate

Kanpur: Like other markets, there also arranges an open market of flowers on the roadside in the Panchakki area here from morning till noon. It is a daily market where rose and marigold flowers are commonly sold in retail. The customers flock the market for buying the small-sized flowers in red and yellow. White-coloured Chrysanthemum remains available but not in ample quantity.

What was attracting the customers' attention was the higher rate of the flowers. The sellers were not ready to reduce the rate despite the customers' insistence. They appeared more like those sellers who sell their items on the fixed rate. The customers were furthermore surprised at variance in the rate in the market spread over in not a large area. One seller say about the rate far different from other sellers. On refusal, they were not readily accepting the rate of the customers. 

When they did not have to pay an extra amount to arrange the market on the ground, they do not sell the items on a little lower rate. Though some advice the customers to first take a round and then approach the seller for buying the flower. As the sellers, they insisted, always try to make hay by finding the new customers.
