DTI has to do something about this,- as they should standardize the price-post for all establishments so that people do not get confused.

IMO, this borders on fooling the buying public,- because let's admit it,- we normally do not look at the [price per] weight, just the price as we're used to the weight being 1Kg; Nor all of us understand the difference between 500mg vs. the usual 1Kg.... I'd say only 5%-10% of the buying public (not here in tsikot) know the difference.

I called the attention of the SM Store Manager about their practice a couple of weeks earlier, and so they changed to 1Kg the following week.

But then, this week,- they're back to using 500mg. I called their attention again,- and they said they're going to look into this....

Again,- DTI, IMO, should step in, as the Filipino consumers [including us] are being fooled by these scheming establishments....

Another pang gugulang from SM. I don't know why you continue to shop there.

I now shop at cash and carry, although it's a little far from my house, I would rather travel than shop at SM. Yesterday I bought beef and they even gave me bones for free. When they give change it's round down like when I bought a snack for P64.36, they gave me P36 change

I hate SM with a passion. Mang gugulang e. They represent everything that is wrong in corporate ethics.

I think this is for escalators bro, if I'm not mistaken?

Sa mrt escalators may ganyan din eh. Karatula pa nga pero sadyang engot ang karamihan ng riding public.

I wish someone would make TV and internet info campaigns regarding proper use of things in the city.

i think they(sm) are doing it just like what the wet market does. ganyan ang pangkaraniwan kasi sa palengke bro eh.
half a kilo lang pala yung price tag niya, which is misleading nga naman para sa ibang hindi nakaka-unawa.

Cathy, SM and Robinsons Supermarkets supervisors are mostly gay. They hire observers inside the supermarket to eavesdrop on your conversations, what you buy in the basket or cart, and even how you pay. They need this info to determine which prices to raise in s given week and then change it next week para hindi mahuli ng regulating body.

Another one of their style is to not update the pricing labels pero ibs ang nasa barcode price. Pag nagkreklamo ka, pwede mabawi sa customer service. But most people dont kasi tipong P5-P10 difference di na napansin

Sadly, yan ang trend nila ngaun that's why I dont shop there anymore too. There is a body being to created to investgate the observers themselves and this practice by gay managers.

So you all know,

gays are obsessive, in my opinion.
having a gay working for you can mean one of two things: quality work, or endless headaches.
some of the better work outputs in our office, are from gays.

what do i have against gays? nothing. "trabaho lang po".

Oh my! You made me LOL in the office

The only time I used to go to SM was about a decade ago for one item - their Bonus Whole wheat bread which was surprisingly good. But now I don't eat bread daily anymore so I have absolutely no reason to go there. The lines are always long and I hate their stupid queuing system for basket shoppers.
