Cultural Context
While modern retail stores (department stores, supermarkets, convenience stores) in Korea almost always display clear '가격표's, traditional markets (재래시장) might sometimes have items without explicit price tags. In such cases, bargaining (흥정) can be common, especially for fresh produce or certain goods. It's always a good practice to check the '가격표' or politely ask '얼마예요?' (How much is it?) to confirm the price before making a purchase.
