Brilio.net - A unique incident occurred in a clothing store, involving a middle-aged mother who insisted on haggling over the price of goods extremely. The action of the mother in pink clothes went viral on social media after the video was uploaded by the Instagram account @makassarinfoku.
The incident began when he tried to bargain for a piece of clothing worth Rp15 thousand to Rp3 thousand. This unreasonable offer made the shop owner upset and refused his request.
Not wanting to give up, the woman waited in the shop until the afternoon. She hoped that the shop owner would give in and accept her very low offer.
Apparently, this incident was not the first time he had acted up. The previous week, he had also done something similar by bidding on an item for Rp2,000.

The woman's action at that time managed to make the shop owner give in. The seller finally granted her request in the hope that the mother would not return to the shop.
"Last week, this woman came and offered to sell the item for 2 thousand from 1 pm to 5 pm. Because she was so stubborn in bargaining, the seller finally gave her 2 thousand so that the woman would leave and the shop owner said, promise not to come again," wrote the Instagram account @makassarinfoku as quoted by brilio.net on Tuesday (24/9).
Unfortunately, the promise was not kept. The mother returned to the store a few days later with the same behavior.
This time, his actions were more disturbing. He took items out of the basket, disturbing other customers.
"Then a few days later, this woman came again and took the items out of the basket until other customers were disturbed, and she also bargained again from the 15K item to 3K, still stubbornly bargaining until finally the security guard came to take action," was the end of the upload caption.

The situation escalated to the point that security had to step in. When questioned by officers, the woman insisted that her actions were within reasonable limits.
The mother tried to defend herself by saying that she bought the goods to resell. She also questioned the shop owner's prohibition against her coming back.
"I bought some stuff to sell, sir. But they told me not to come here again, isn't that funny? The man said that if I didn't buy anything, I would be told to leave. Well, I've bought it," he said.
Although the officer tried to calm the situation, the woman insisted that her actions were not excessive. She even intended to return to the store another time.
With a tone still full of confidence, the mother asked the officer. Her question showed that she still did not realize her mistake.
" I'm also a trader. For example, if I come here again next week, right? " he said.
The incident went viral and sparked various reactions from netizens. Many criticized her behavior as excessive, while others highlighted the importance of shopping etiquette and respecting sellers.
" It seems a bit different from the looks, logically 15 thousand to 3 thousand you think clothes are made from banana leaves, even banana leaves are expensive ," said @detie_lo.
" Just 3 thousand candies, ma'am, 9 pieces ," commented @sasyasyahrani.
" Wkwkwkw, even claw items don't cost that much, auntie ," said @ayyub_anshary.
" Want to shop for clothes, do you want to pay for parking ma'am ?" commented @pipit_mariana.
" Nawar is bargaining, but it doesn't reach that point ," complained @rzky_04_.
