yesterday i was buying some stuff from Carefore (landmark) .. i noticed the price mentioned on shelf is different from price we pay ... i started writing down prices of every item .. in major items in found 2-5QR difference .. e.g

pampers shelf price 45.75QR i paid 50.50QR
baby lotion shelf price 15QR i paid 17.25QR
and other items also

so i directly goto customer services .. they send a person with me inside to check .. i was right ...

i came back and ask manager to refund all .. total bill was 500QR + .. and i said i won't return a thing .. he was like no ... he will pay the difference only .. i was like hunh .. you are cheating so many people ... call police ... he said you call .. i was like :@ .. but in the end he agree to refund full price of itmes which have dif.

and i said .. next time if there is a .25QR difference it won't pay a single riyal ...
as soon as i reached home .. i downloaded app for iphone which while help do shopping fairly ..

as also i said ... if there is no price tag on shelf .. i will not pay for it .. you can place the item but can't put the tag ???

So my advise to you all is check the prices from now on

True. This used to happen to us at Giant Stores.

Now at Carrefour I use the bard code scanner on the wall and double check it..

I am never really into the habit of checking after paying...but will try and do now. This is such a good point!

Yeah...there have been complaints against them, but I never calculated the bill item by item. I am kinda lazy :(

Hmmm, I never bother checking if it's being priced right. Thanks for the info, I'll try to remember for next time.
