The Egg Conflict

More and more I am getting flack for taking photographs in the markets. In the market in Arles, I asked a man if I could take a photo of some pears that were in beautiful light. I asked in French, very politely...the man said " 5 euro". Forget it! 
His wife ran over and said no...you MUST take a photo, it's so beautiful.
A bit further down, I saw these eggs. I see these eggs like this everywhere. This is the way the French present their eggs. I just quickly took the picture and the man said to me...or yelled at me, " One Euro"!!!!!!!  I told him to forget it...He yelled at me again...I kept walking. 
It's an uncomfortable situation.
