Where don't you haggle?

Hi everyone,

One week to go, plans made, bags (nearly) packed, sleep getting shorter, excitement reaching fever pitch... it is time to ask the hard last minute question!

I understand that bargaining/haggling is the done thing in Bali... But what about restaurants? supermarkets? do you haggle here? or are the prices fixed? what about the price of drinks at a bar? Are they fixed, or if I find the prices a bit high should I talk them down a bit (or move on elsewhere)? What about things like getting laundry done, or other services?

Where is haggling expected, and where is it not?

Thanks ever so much in advance!

Becky
