At first, she asks for the price. To which, the seller says that it’s ₹350. Johansen then looks at the camera and shares that she is going to say ₹250.

The tweet was posted two days ago. Since then, the video has gone crazy viral and accumulated over 14 million views. The share has prompted people to post varied comments.
What did X users say about this video?
“It’s $5, just buy it,” wrote an X user. “Bargaining is usual in markets around Asia, so I don’t understand why this is a problem. If you don’t know that it’s fixed prices then of course you bargain,” argued another. “Everyone’s slamming her, but it’s good to be street smart. More power to her!” posted a third. “Just bargaining for fun,” shared a fourth.
