What Are You Thinking About?

Yup another modus which they haven't bothered to correct for years now is the non-updating of price tags vs the bar code, thus you don't notice that what you bought has actually increased in price. And now, that they own WM, same practice.

Hard to believe that this is the fault of a lazy merchandiser, pwede siguro by a store or product manager, but for years now?

Sale sa SM ngayon, we bought this item before the sale worth ₱799, alam namin price because we bought it twice. Then sale comes and she looked at the price because she is interested to buy another one. Nakalagay ngayon na original price is. ₱899 with 20% discount.₱720, Still smaller then their real original price of ₱799. But it's still cheating.

I wonder if other department stores do this or SM lang talaga.

our local rules say,
if there are two legible prices pasted on the merchandise, the lower price shall prevail.

Standard industry practice ...

Standard practice? If it is, DTI haven't lifted a finger dealing with it?

what would be the charge?
"increasing prices?"

what if the store countered with, "that 100 bucks is the sale price. because next week, the price would be 120 bucks" ?

Someone published a report on this practice of SM last May.

That's why I avoid SM like the plague. I only go there if I don't have much choice.

Zero business ethics talaga, corporate greed at its finest

And let's not forget how they cannot even give enough change. Sa landmark, rustan's, mercury and even our small neighborhood supermarket it's round UP sa SM it's round DOWN.

Well on a positive note....SM has been good to the seniors in our community...they have free parking, free movies 2x a week...and they let the seniors use the food court/recreation area for free..when they have their elections and meetings...etc...ok na din...at least i know where my mom is...kaysa nasa divisoria parati

I'd rather go to Divisoria Actually we do go there more than SM hahaha!

Standard naman those senior perks. Free parking and free movies that's the same for Ayala malls. Landmark food court tambayan din ng mga senior.
