What store doesn't list prices? Isn't that illegal in most places? In my country even the tiniest ancient village stores I've been to have prices listed on items (sometimes simple labels attached to the items, such as "10", but still there).

Some stores won't let you near the stuff they sell, you have to talk to somebody. Maybe that's what the GP is talking about.

Anyway, it's expected that you'll ask for the price and may go away after hearing it. So crazy mark-ups are risky business.
