I don’t understand how it works. I also more commonly see it at small/personal businesses. When I go to the store and see milk for $5 I usually just pay the $5. Or if I see $100 shoes and I just find another one that’s in my budget? can I bargain at the large stores?

One reason you can’t bargain at a big store is that you’re unlikely to meet someone who even has the authority to bargain with you. A cashier or a stocker doesn’t set prices, they’re just an employee. Even if someone like the manager can bargain with you on behalf of the store, they have better things to do than haggle over the price of groceries.
These days bargaining mostly only happens in the purchasing of very expensive items, like cars and real estate, when you’re dealing directly with a salesperson or an agent or the like.
