Different price in Bar code and in display Board

Today when i purchase a cleaning mob from Lulu Hypermarket which shows in the display board as QR.22

when i reached to counter for payment i noticed that they charged QR.25/

when i ask this, cashier told as per the bar code the price is QR.25

I showed them in the display board, but they are helpless, because they can go with the barcodes only

This is a real cheating from the Hypermarkets, which majoirty of the people are not noticed.

you can see they will not put the price in the commodity only bar cods. How can a customer knows the price from the barcodes.

ANOTHER WAY OF LOOTING - BE CAREFUL - remember the price and check with the bills

I had faced it once in CC Carrefour, i asked to see the supervisor, he come with me to the shelf and saw that and shouted at some staff there and gave me the item at the same priced displayed.

Yeh!!

I have noticed it too many times. Infact, I wrote once to Carrefour when I experienced a similar situation, but they never responded. Especially these days U dont find price tag on each product. When u ask from the sales assistant he/she utters a price & when U went to pay its completely different price.

But when I cheeked with municipality (baladiya) they said that it is a must each & every product should carry a price tag. which never happens with most of these super/hyper markets. next time when U experince some thing like this call this number 800888 consumer complain hot line with a proof. they can take action against these gready owners..

It is cheating & misleading shoppers.

Yes, this has happened to me at Lu Lu's, but not often. Giant Store in Hayatt Plaza has this problem, too.

these kind of mistakes or cheating are common in Carrefour CC, had to cancel many items due to the differences between bar code and display prices.....
