or you will ask bids for your shopping list, and get replies from several retail chains (or, rather their AI agents).
Culturally, Americans do not haggle and do not to well in cultures where haggling is the norm. It would take a massive cultural shift before negotiating price is even close to normal. Part of this is why so many employees do poorly when negotiating salary during the interview process.
