Answer 1

Most of the shopkeepers are selling products at MRP or below MRP, at all reputed shops. 'Subhiksha" is one most popular example. Only small shops, may be charging small amount extra, as premium and people may be paying that extra amount, only due to shortage, or connivance.

Currently no one pay extra. However, may be for a single milk packet or pouch, paying a Rupee extra or just leaving behind, due to shortage of change or paucity of time. A tip concept is not popular with middle class, house holds, in India.

Regarding, pulses (loose) rates may very due to quality, from shop to shop. Most of the traders, still sell their products, on purchase plus some margin. Thus, their cost and margin may also very from shop to shop.
