How retail chains deceive Ukrainians: what to pay attention to in the receipt.


Ukrainians have learned about the tricks of deception in stores at the checkout, this was reported by 'Khvylia' referencing TSN.
Some customers check their receipts for errors, while others ignore them. But this is negligence, as a receipt can be evidence in conflict situations. There are groups of people who keep receipts but do not check them. However, it is always wiser to check receipts for several reasons.
For example, when you buy many different products, it is difficult to remember their names precisely. At the same Time, the cashier may mistakenly or intentionally scan the same item twice. A receipt can reveal such an error and save you from overpayment.
Sometimes the price of an item at the checkout may differ from the price on the price tag. A receipt will allow you to prove your case to the cashier or store administrator. Additionally, the receipt can be useful when identifying quality issues and low-quality products. For example, if you find mold on purchased cheese with a normal shelf life. Without a receipt, it will be difficult to prove that you bought it specifically in this store.
Particular attention should be paid to promotional items. Often, these items are marked with promotional price tags, but at the checkout, they are scanned at the full price. Cashiers often explain this by stating that the promotion has already ended.
It is important to remember that this is a violation of consumer rights, and you have every right to file a complaint about the store's actions. The receipt will serve as an argument in your complaint.
