Your not going to cost your business or personal finances more, just because they can't speak english.
So if you want it for cheaper, IT IS your problem.

Fair enough. I suppose it would be my problem if a shopkeeper selling something on the cheap was completely unable to communicate with me and I had to go elsewhere. But if the deal was so good that I couldn't walk away and
IT WAS going to be a problem that costs me money, I'm sure I could figure something out.
Maybe a system that includes writing down the dollar figure on a sign and constructing a large paper (or styrofoam) arrow to point to the item in question would be helpful?
I've never come across a situation in the real world in which I was unable to buy something because the seller was unable to communicate enough to sell it to me, so this is all just a guess.
Perhaps you could provide some examples of businesses here in Alberta that are run by people that can't speak enough English to sell their product and I'll be sure to steer clear of those.
