Lifestyle: double price tag products in sale: Are you tallying your bills !

Hi Guys,

We all know that a month long sale period have commenced across malls in Mumbai. However, some weird deals can catch you unawares.

Below is the account of my friend Subbu, who happened to visit Lifestyle store on July 07, 2013 to buy a mechandice on sale. The store threw a weird deal on him but cannot escape his observant eye.


The shirt he picked had a price tag of Rs629 (1st pic) which induced Subbu to pick up the product. However, when he went for billing he was charged Rs907 bucks instead (2nd pic is the bill).

Unlike many others Subbu bought just two products. Hence the price tag difference immediately caught his eye.

Then started all usual stuff by the payment counter guys that it was VAT. But VAT is 5% and not 50%, he argued.

Now we all can also predict the next usual excuse by payment counter guy that Rs629 was a wrong price tag and a labelling mistake. Another excuse, the system is picking only Rs907 barcode....

bla..bla..bla after 40 min in the queue

Anyway what's the big deal ! Subbu bought the product after a fight, paid Rs907 and came back. Who has the choice these days !

The two price tag weird deals are now a common labelling mistake. These weird deals can catch you the next time on sale, just tally your next bill and find out.

Enjoy shopping and do come back to read more after a while !
