(5,420 posts)And mostly because they seem to think we are too stupid to notice. I hate the bubble bottoms. You know, where the bottom of the plastic bottle is concave so it looks bigger than it is. But the whole bottom is basically empty.
ANd I hate when the grocers purposely put a price label under the wrong item. This is so you will grab the wrong and higher priced item thinking it is the lower price. They know that most people won't notice when it rings up higher and most won't bother to return it for the difference. It is obviously not a mistake but done on purpose. It is far too wide of a problem to be just an error.
Another thing to watch out for is % off items. I remember years ago shopping at a JC Penny 25% off sale. But I had already calculated an approx cost and it did not come near it. They did not take off the correct percentage. I got mine fixed and made a stink about it. I was told it wan an error and they were correcting it. But when I came back two days later....same thing.
Most people only look to see that it was discounted and don't figure in their heads how much it should cost with the correct discount.
