Your idea "Maybe cut back on some Bintangs,sarongs or tours and pay them a bit more" does contradict what I suppose you try to convey in your very confused way.
I do bargain at home and it works wonders. You should try it.
And who are you to tell anyone what to do and what not to do as to travelling to Bali? I travel anywhere I like and try to treat the inhabitants as human beings without going overboard as you seem to do in your misdirected and totally naïve opinion about Indonesia, Bali and the locals there.
Bargaining is a way of life in Indonesia when shopping and even the locals do it when shopping. Remember that the prices they pay for goods is way lower than the inflated prices tourists have to pay.
You do not know who I am and what I do when in Bali and at other destination as I, unlike you, do not at all times try to show off and blabber about it. Your remarks are really the judgemental ones - and most of all your comments appear stupid.
