Buying maple syrup in the fishmongers

In Montréal for Extreme Markup 2007, I went to Marché Atwater to buy some maple syrup. When I wanted to know the weight of a pack of 8 cans of syrup, the syrup seller took me and the 8-pack next door to the fishmongers, and the fishmonger put the cans on her scale. She even set the price to $2.20/kg so I could see the weight in pounds if I’d wanted.

Since it was at that point I agreed to make the purchase, I’d say I did buy the maple syrup in the fishmongers.
