I am briefly in Marrakech and the price of most things varies. There is a tourist price and there is a local price and you have to bargain hard, which takes time and adds purpose to the transaction. What is clear is that for most local people this is not a time poor society. If you can spend all day discussing the price of some oranges, because there are more sellers than buyers, then you are prepared to chance your arm with a fresh faced visitor. The quality of retailing, within these parameters, is good. Abundant service, lots of validation, lots of charm. We can learn from their energy.
