I found that Iranians spend money. Really? Generous? , the key is the somebody else really? Rich? . Taking a lot of money to go shopping in the mall, some people who want to buy big items simply carry their bags and carry suitcases, and pass bundles of money when they pay for shopping. After listening to the tour guide's explanation, I realized that their currency depreciation was more serious. I have found several times that they have big bundles of money in their hands to buy expensive goods such as blankets.

Ordinary citizens shopping, unlike a few of us who spend money by credit card, almost all go shopping with banknotes.

Shopping mall goods self-service

Shopping in Tehran, Iran, although commodities are scarce, gold and silver jewelry should be relatively cheaper than in our country. We decided to buy one or two pieces each, and we needed to be selective, just like worrying about buying fakes at home. There are many supermarkets in our country, but I haven't heard that gold, silver and jewelry can be picked casually like radish and cabbage. This kind of goods in Tehran are not only randomly selected as we buy vegetables and sweets in domestic supermarkets, but many small bosses simply put the goods on the market for anyone to buy, and then exchange small things for big boxes of banknotes after the transaction.

The most interesting thing is that when we were shopping for jewelry in a gold shop, suddenly the doorbell rang outside, and the owner said? Wait a minute? Stay away from us. They all went out to pray. I looked up, and sure enough, the boss and the guys were gone, and even the guide was gone, leaving only a few of us and a room full of gold and silver. The counter in the shop was unlocked, so many jewels were scattered on the counter. I suddenly feel sick. I suggest you wait outside.

Is it okay to shop in the mall? No money?

After the prayer, everyone came back, and the guide told us that he also went to pray. He told us that Iran is a country dominated by Muslims, and their religious spiritual leader is the supreme head of state. Therefore, people here are bound by religion very strictly. When I looked up, I was surprised that there was no camera monitoring. Aren't they afraid that we won't give the tour guide the money and say, that's stealing? In our country, the punishment for stealing is extremely severe. Few people dare to steal, and the boss is not worried about being stolen! ?

When we negotiated the selected project, I asked where to swipe my card. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper repeatedly shirked: no, I can't take your money! ? I paused. Since you don't want my money, why did you ask me for so much money just now? Do they know from my badge or accent that we are here to help build?

The tour guide told me that this is their local custom, and you have to go through it before you pay? Polite? Suppose you take it seriously and leave without paying, then the police will arrest you and sentence you to theft.
