When you head to the check out at Pavillions, it may be a good idea to keep track of the charges being inputted into the cash register.
This is especially true if you plucked up some produce or cleaning solvents because you were under the impression the goods were on sale as advertised at the stall, by eye-catching flyer, or in a splashy TV blurb.
The truth of the matter is that quite a few of the Pavillions sales are a scam designed to lure shoppers into the store!
It is doubtful Pavillions intended to follow through in good faith.
For example, over the past couple of days when I procceded to cash out, my eagle eye caught the clerks ignoring sale items and charging full price.
Just yesterday, in fact, I encountered a frustrating experience which signalled how dishonest (and deceptive) Pavillions management is.
I spied bottled water on sale for 99 cents. In fact, how could I miss this reduced item, since the tag was about six inches by six inches in size and placed directly where the product sat in neat rows in the cooler.
But, when I attempted to ring the item in at the automated cashier, the price rang up at $1.76.
I called over the box boy standing a stone's throw away and pointed out the error.
Oh, we was quick on the uptake, alright.
"The sale is for bottled water in plastic containers," he snidely remarked.
So, I trotted back to the refrigerator, re-checked the price, and snatched up the spring water in a plastic bottle.
Once again, the item rang up @ $1.76.
Liar!
On the second occasion, he simpleton couldn't even be bothered (too lazy or too embarassed?) to haul his sorry a** back to the display to verify the price.
The skinny as-a-rail loser called over to another employee to check the price (again!).
The word back?
Now the price was two bottles for $3.00
Huh?
At this juncture, I basically hinted at where he could put his bottle of water with the floating price tag.
Needless to say, I have posted this Consumer Alert, to warn customers who shop at Pavillions to keep their eye on those thieves at the check-out stand.
They'll rob 'ya blind!
