Unethical business practices - I stopped in to pick up a six pack, and there was only one shelf price in a large section of canned sixes, $11.99. When they rang me up, it was $14.99! I said if it was that much, I'd rather buy the $23.99 12-pack of another brand, but the cashier told me they wouldn't refund the six pack he'd just rung up.
Setting aside that ridiculous price - it's a gas station mini, mart, sometimes you pay a lot for convenience - two things about this are unethical at best:
1) Displaying a false price, or implying a false price by misleading shelf pricing.
2) Refusal to refund when the price doesn't match the apparent displayed price. It's one thing to not offer refunds on goods (especially beer) that have left the store, but another when we're still standing at the counter immediately after ringing up the sale.
There's no reason for a business to be so customer-hostile except that they rely on one-time customers. They're definitely not getting any repeat business from me. read more
