A customer owes a retailer nothing, other than to pay the agreed upon price. You are not obliged to sell it to them at a reduced price.
Your post is sour grapes. You think you have it bad in retail? Try business to business. The OP represents virtually every customer.
MFRs and Retailers set prices not on what a product is worth, but on what they think they can charge for it. Given that situation, how can you fault a customer that negotiates for a lower price. He has no obligation to take food off his table and put it on yours.

You are the type of difficult customer that no retailer wants, but sells to anyway for a couple of reasons. 1) They're having a bad week and it's a big ticket item, or it's been in the store too long anyway. 2) To shut you up an get rid of you, because there aren't too many like you, just a few percentage wise and you serve a purpose once in a while, however unpleasant. You're the type that wants to get the lowest price, fair or unfair, seller be damned. But of course you always will find a seller. The rest of us see it a little differently.
