Let's never go shopping together, emmm ok? I'd prefer a pleasant shop assistant who knows his trade, and goods that are neatly stocked for convenience. I don't particularly fancy the Reliance stores which are similarly quite cramped and limited in choice. It's a sad commentary on the state of affairs in Hyderabad that these stores I detest are in fact some of the better places to shop.
There is a lane dedicated to a vegetable seller collective in Rajajinagar in Bangalore that is quite neat and offers plenty of choice at great prices and quality without any haggling. That is the real India too, not Biyani's manufactured chaos.
