Like seriously. I get that it's their culture, but it's not our culture. Just like it would be rude for me to go to some places in Asia and look people in the eye, it's rude to come to Canada and offer me half of what I'm selling it for.

Regardless of culture, though, it's completely idiotic to expect a discount for paying in cash.
When I go to my local Chinese restaurant for a family sized take out, the little Chinese guy taking orders always asks "You pay cash, yes?" When I do, I always get a discount and more food. I'm pretty sure the money also goes into the cash register of his right hand pocket.
