I find myself inside a local mall and was wandering around for stuffs that I need to buy. I took one particular item and went straight to the Cashier to pay for the item. I was expecting the price of this item to be around P60.00 because it was already my second time buying that kind of item, but I was shocked when the cashier told me that it’s worth is P364.00, Around P300.00 more than the price I expected. I demanded the cashier to check it’s actual price, but they insisted that the price is right in their computer. I canceled my purchase and went directly to the grocery of the mall. I saw the same item and checked it’s price, P65.00. So I was right all along. I hurriedly purchased the item and got back to that part of the mall to demand about their scam. I was entertained by one of their personnel and to my amazement, she only told me that “it’s much better that you buy that item in the grocery store sir”. I felt insulted by what she said, it’s good that I didn’t want to ruin my day and demand their management to fire her. So I left the place instead.

Lesson is, be careful of things you buy, even though you think you’re in the right place, you might still be victimized by these Price Scams.
