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.

Walang panukli ang may-ari ng BDO?

Exactly. One time I was told in ACE they don't have 75 cents change ata. I refused when the cashier told me kulang. It's not the amount, it's the principle behind it. They're a fcking huge corporation and they can't even have their cash register to have enough coins.

Minsan nga yung ibang cashier, they don't even say na kulang, they just assume that the customer does not mind. We've been doing our groceries at Landmark for decades and it's ALWAYS round up.

Anyway, pag SM topic umiinit talaga ulo ko

and they will probably continue doing it, until they get fined big-time by the authorities.

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.

Sm is just a 5min drive from her house...gives me peace of mind knowing where she is..

Kfc (dito sa ortigas) din minsan di nagsusukli ng less piso. Ibigay na lang daw sa foundation.

Point is, di lang sm ang gumagawa nyan. They are just big enough na marami nakakapuna.

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

I thought sir walter was referring to the "cheating" issue, not the price increase per se?

"cheating can have several definitions."
just because we do not like it, does not mean it is illegal.

as earlier stated, if an item has two prices, the lower price shall prevail.

Negligence is different from deliberately screwing the price tags to gain more profit.

"i am not forcing anybody to buy my non-price-controlled merchandise."

but yes, if one is a frequent mall-er, one may notice these price issues.
it is nice, if one had a shopping list to stick to, when one went malling. it dissuades one from over-shopping.
