It depends on the scenario, but in general, I too hate the game.
I feel insulted and disrespected when I'm told the price is X and I know it is half that much somewhere else.
There must be a psychological reason this is done, ... like maybe the dopamine hit to the seller when maybe one out of ten shoppers actually simply agrees and pays.

This could be true, and I've totally felt the same way before, but I'm beginning to think I've been cynical. They might have good reason to charge more and the only way to know is to ask or, if it's more comfortable to be indirect, begin negotiating.
