Sometimes when I am off in some remote corner - the sheer cost of bringing goods is so high, that it is criminal to expect the shopkeeper to sell it at MRP. Like if you go upto Ilaka from Dharamshala, the guy sells Parle G for about two rupees above the MRP, and you don't really mind it. The only way to get stuff up there is on donkeys - trekking for five to six hours.
