Lady Customer Reminds Public to Check Receipts After Pricing Discrepancy
A lady customer reminded the public to carefully check their receipts after experiencing a pricing issue at a supermarket.
Recently, Rose Ann, a Facebook user, shared a photo of her receipt from a supermarket, pointing out a noticeable difference between the prices listed on the shelves and those charged at the counter. The post quickly went viral and elicited comments online.
In her post, Rose Ann explained that the discrepancy between shelf prices and register prices led to an unexpected extra charge. For instance, she noted a difference of P6 between the price shown on the shelf and what was charged at the counter.
If someone bought five bottles of the same item, they would end up paying 30 pesos more than expected. Rose Ann mentioned that this wasn’t an isolated incident; she had experienced similar issues with several items during previous shopping trips.
The customer’s experience has prompted a broader conversation about the importance of checking receipts carefully, especially when shopping in bulk. Many people are now paying closer attention to the prices they are charged compared to what is advertised on the shelves.
The discrepancy might be a deliberate tactic to boost sales, but it also raises concerns about fairness and transparency in pricing.

“Awareness lang po, lalo na sa maramihan mamili. Palagi nyo po i check yong pricing ng pinamimili nyo po, lalo na sa Puregold, magka iba kasi nakalagay sa shelves nila kesa sa price don sa counter. Imagine nyo 6 pesos din ang difference. Paano na lang kong 5 bottles binili mo, lugi ka ng ng 30 pesos. Twice ko na to na experience, dati bumili din ako sa kanila, halos nasa 7 items yong mga hindi tugma sa price nila. Strategy din ata ng mga promodicer nila to, para mabenta agad ang items nila. Kasi tayong mamimili madalas we’re comparing sa price at kong alin yong mababa presyo don tayo. Kaso mali din pala ang presyo, yong akala mo na nakatipid ka, lugi ka pa pala.”
